The Beloved Buddies event inPokémon GOgives way to the debut of Dhelmise, along with a special selection of wild Pokémon that will spawn during its runtime. Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokémon, is a welcome addition to the collection of Pocket Monsters you can get. However, the select range of Pocket Monsters you can catch is great if you’re missing out on any for your Pokédex.
Just like theLunar New Year event, Beloved Buddies presents a great opportunity forPokémon GOplayers to go after featured Pokémon to farm for Candies. As regular spawns can be random between your geographical area, hunting for one, in particular, can become a lengthy task of trial and error. As long as you remember to log into the game during Beloved Buddies' runtime, you’ll be able to add any of those specific Pokémon you’re missing to your collection.
