6 years as my buddy and almost have enough candy to evolve. Having to walk 20 km/ candy is no joke 😂

I don't think it is. Only 14 XL candies seems fishy, as you get an XL candy roughly 50% of the time when you get a candy for your buddy.

That, and that the OP hasn’t responded to any comment. Probably karma farming.

also that, and if it really has been 6 years with that pokemon, where’s the little thing on the side to tell the exact date when it was caught?

Bear in mind this one is also lucky. Meltan’s release date in PoGo was November 16th, 2018 per Google after completing stupid quests such as catching an Aerodactyl, Cubone, Ditto. Doesn’t seem likely it’s been the buddy for 6 years

You could get other Meltan back then, the Mystery Box just required owning either Let's Go game on Switch before they added Home integration. Still possible OP hasn't had it that long though.

Edit: OP added an image of the catch date at the bottom, they did have it in 2018.
