Want to know about all Buddy Souvenir lists, how to get them, and what they do in Pokemon Go? Simply put, Buddies are mostly a way to get candies for extremely rare or legendary Pokemon. However, the upgrade to the buddy mechanic has given your closest Poke-partner more useful features. Here’s everything you need to know about this.
How to Get Souvenirs in Pokemon GO
First, let’s lay down how your Buddy Pokemon can find Souvenirs. You need to reach the Ultra Buddy level to unlock the Souvenir-finding ability. This is done by earning 150 hearts with a single creature.
This will take a while, but you can get seven hearts easily as long as you walk enough, feed it until it’s full three times per day, and pet it once a day. Once it reaches the Ultra Buddy level, then you’ll just need to keep it on the map by feeding it and the Pokemon will occasionally find Souvenirs.
Souvenirs essentially replace Presents that your Buddy Pokemon previously rewarded you with from leveling them up. You’ll open Souvenirs the same way, with a bundle appearing on the Buddy screen that can be opened when interacted with.
From our experience, Souvenirs aren’t as common as Presents were. I’ve been getting one or two Souvenirs a week.
A Souvenir found by one Buddy Pokemon remains specific to it. If you decide to swap Buddy Pokemon, you’ll then need to collect all of the Souvenirs again, regardless of whether you found them with another Pokemon.

What Do Buddy Souvenirs Do & What Are They For in Pokemon GO
Now it’s time to learn what all this hard work goes towards. These Souvenirs, according to Niantic, are essentially just reminders of your adventures with your buddy. That’s it. You can view them from the buddy page, but they don’t do anything but sit there.
It’s just a marker of how long the Pokemon has been set as your buddy. Fortunately, the Souvenirs are confined to the buddy screen so they won’t take up any space in your inventory. Each Souvenir will also give a bonus Heart to help you reach the ‘Best Buddy’ level.
