Pokemon Go poffin: What is a poffin and how effective can they be?
In Pokemon Go, along with having the option to feed your Buddy Pokemon with berries, it is now also possible to give them Poffins which boosts everything.
Niantic always implements new features in Pokemon Go all the time. One of such features is linked to the buddy adventure system. Players will now be able to look forward to daily goals for their Pokemon, which involves going on a walk with them. To increase the duration of this activity a new item known as Poffin was also added. Here's a complete guide on Pokemon Go Poffin.

How to Get Poffins in Pokemon Go?
Along with having the option to feed your Buddy Pokemon with berries, it is now also possible to give them Poffins which will keep the happiness meter of your Pokemon to high. This can be considered as a special type of food item which will keep their hunger meter filled automatically. Giving your buddy Pokemon a Poffin will reward the player with the maximum daily number of Affection hearts in the “Give your buddy a treat” category.
One Poffin costs 100 Pokecoins and upon feeding a buddy Pokemon with it, they stay full, stay on the map and will have their status as excited for a longer period. The total distance that is required to walk to earn candies will get reduced by half and the number of hearts available per day will get doubled.
