Poffin Pokémon GO: Everything You Need to Know
In order to get your buddy to take a stroll with you on the map, you can either feed them Berries or you can also feed them Poffins! Poffins are more effective than berries, with a single Poffin having the same duration as three Berries, with a description reading "Feed this special treat to your buddy, and it'll happily join you on the map for an extended duration." Feeding you Pokémon this special treat does come with a price though, as Poffins cost 100 Gold each, while Berries can be found for free by spinning PokéStops or by opening gifts.
Poffins do have extra effects, including completely filling your buddy's "give your buddy a treat" hearts and doubling the hearts you can earn through various activities, which is typically capped at ten hearts per day. Hearts indicate your friendship level with your buddy, and a higher level will increase the rate your buddy levels up.
Since Poffins do cost 100 Gold, it is a good idea to use them only on a day where you can get use of its full effectiveness where you can earn all twenty hearts.
