How to get a Souvenir from a Buddy in Pokemon GO
Once your Buddy Pokemon takes a liking to you, they will occasionally shower you with Souvenirs as gifts. However, you won’t receive any Souvenirs from a Buddy until your Buddy reaches a Buddy Level of Ultra Buddy.
A Pokemon you assign to be your Buddy will turn into an Ultra Buddy after 150 Affection Hearts. Once you have an adequate number of Hearts, your Buddy Pokemon will find Souvenirs and present them to you while you’re out exploring together.
To collect a Souvenir from a Buddy, wait for an “!” icon to pop up over its profile image in the bottom-left corner of the screen and then click it to claim your newfound Souvenir.
