Feature req: Buddy task

[beltoft]

Short Description

A new task to select a buddy pokemon

Possible solution

a task named buddy where you could put in the name of the pokemon you would select as buddy.

How it would help others

it will give extra candy for the type of pokemon you chose as buddy for every km walked making it easier to evolve that type

I'm working on it, I'm running some tests before making a PR

[tohyf]

if a buddy is already selected would it require additional API calls to "walk" it ?

[DeXtroTip]

There is an api call to get the reward, not sure if reward is got without it, maybe not

[tohyf]

Looks like the distance is being recorded down correctly, I guess the only question is whether the candy reward requires another API call

[DeXtroTip]

It might be like CollectLevelUpRewards or IncubateEggs, if you don't make the api call you don't get the rewards, I guess

[cowst]

That's the case, since there is another open issue exactly for that :)

[DeXtroTip]

Yeah, I've checked it already. Added check on task to get old rewards from current buddy. Need to update docs/configuration_files.md before PR and the api also has a bug on buddy api calls, I had to fix it manually, we'll need to wait for them to merge the fix too before this task works.
