Pokémon Go developer Niantic has taken to Facebook to advise of an upcoming update that provides Pokémon buddy support.
The update also provides support for the upcoming Pokémon Go Plus wearable.
Here’s what’s coming in version 0.37.0 (iOS) or 1.7.0 (Android):
- Implemented Buddy Pokémon: Trainers will now be able to choose one of their Pokémon to be their buddy. A Trainer can earn Candy for their Buddy Pokémon by walking a certain distance.
- Made it easier to select smaller Pokémon on the screen.
- Fixed an issue where Eggs would sometimes hatch without displaying the animation.
- Improved performance reliability when a device switches networks to no longer cause the application to hang or stop updating.

- Minor text fixes.
Expect the update soon.
