Event bonus

In addition to the featured Pokemon spawns, a special in-game bonus will be active during the Mountains of Power event. The amount of distance you need to walk to earn hearts with your buddy Pokemon will be reduced by half for the duration of the event, making it much easier to earn buddy hearts.
