With the Lapras Nerf and Gen2. This is my view of Buddy Choices:
Tier1: Chansey
Tier2: Dratini, Snorlax, Lavitar
Tier3: Niche Use
Specific Eevee to evolve and/or Rhydon (Lvl
20 Rhyhorn hatch takes 116 candies or 348 KM to make a level 30 Rhyhorn. Only Snorlax at 330KM is a better bet to get a high CP defender)
Tier4: a 125 Candy Evolve that I want a specific moveset on
((Used to be Abra/Venusaur here, now Im not so sure))
Any thoughts on Tiers, or pokemon you'd add to a certain tier?
I'd say filling out your pokedex is still a top priority for most players.
Mareep (Ampharos) seems really rare so it should probably be in tier 2 or 3.
Heracross probably belongs there (e.g. you go to Disney for a holiday, catch a few [at least one with best moves] then you walk it to power it up).
I would never walk a Rhyhorn/Rhydon. You'll catch them much more consistently there's no need to even evolve the level 20 hatch (you'll find level 25+ Rhyhorns in the wild).
