Best Answer

Great question. Here's how:

Tap your avatar (player picture) on the bottom left of the main screen.

  • Tap the menu on the bottom right.
  • Tap Buddy.
  • It will give you the screen where you can choose your buddy Pokémon.

Note: Your buddy Pokemon won't show as walking with you. It will only show as an icon next to your avatar... *unless* you choose Pikachu. Pikachu will really walk with you.

The farther you walk, the more candy you can then earn for your buddy Pokemon. Depending on what Pokemon it is, you will earn one candy for every 1 to 5 kilometers.

Here are some examples:

1 Kilometer Buddies

  • Caterpie
  • Pidgey
  • Rattata
  • Spearow
  • Pikachu
3 Kilometer Buddies
  • Bulbasaur
  • Charmander
  • Squirtle
  • Ekans
  • Sandshrew
5 Kilometer Buddies
  • Eevee
  • Omanyte
  • Kabuto
  • Dratini
  • Dragonair

How do you get spieritomb on Pokemon Diamond?

To get spirit tomb in Pokemon diamond, you need to have an underground kit and a lot of time on your hands. What you have to accomplish underground is to meet 32 people. BUT, there is an easier way. Get a buddy to help you with this and have them stay underground. Get your buddy to come find you right after you go underground (don't move or when you go up you'll need to go find your buddy again). Keep going up and down, talking to your buddy every time you come down again. Repeat this 32 times. Then go to the weird rock thing right below the tower of ghosts. Put the ancient key in. A green blob should be on top of the rock. Don't worry, it won't disappear if you walk away. So go get some quick balls, go back to the rock and SAVE! Press A on the rock and right when the battle starts, use a quick ball, and voila!! You have a spirit tomb!
