Pokémon GO Wild Pokémon List for Beloved Buddies 2025

The upcoming Beloved Buddies event in Pokémon GO marks the exciting introduction of Dhelmise, the Sea Creeper Pokémon, alongside a curated assortment of wild Pokémon that will be appearing throughout the event’s duration. This addition not only enriches the Pokémon collection for players but also presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to complete their Pokédex.

Due to the random nature of Pokémon spawns that can vary by geographical location, players may find themselves engaged in a time-consuming hunt for specific Pokémon. However, by simply logging into the game during the event, players can significantly enhance their collections with ease.
