That explains why it didn't work. I just thought it had to be walked at least 10k.
I didn't know that it couldn't be over. Also eevee wasn't my buddy at the time. It was my buddy for a long time
but I got tired of walking it and switched to Shinx earlier this week.
I got enough candies by catching more eevee and using pinap berries on them.
I'll try again in another month or so. I'm tired of walking eevee at the moment and would rather walk Shinx.
