PokemonData unknown33

[DrDelay]

If you have a buddy-pokemon that has earned at least 1 candy this field 33 is part of the PokemonData-response.

This was found looking for a solution to NicklasWallgren/PokemonGoAPI-PHP#142.

Using either of bramp/protoc-gen-php or google/protobuf this surplus field causes an error while decoding.

Do you know the range of the value?

I am thinking it is something like buddy_km_complete since BuddyPokemon from PlayerData doesn't provide enough information to get the km you have already walked with your buddy. Right?

[DrDelay]

Good guess! I will compare it with the km walked right after work today.

[vankxr]

Maybe not buddy_km_distance but total_buddy_km_walked. Re though of that when reading:

The primary obvious difference to me between these two accounts is "buddy test" has 1 buddy candy earned and under single digit km's walked on buddy, and "older buddy" has a substantially larger amount of candies earned and higher km's walked, (double/triple digits). Not sure if this is related, but i'll see if i can test any other accounts to try and isolate.

EDIT: It definetly appears to be the total kilometers walked with that buddy, look at this: http://i.imgur.com/1bNB41A.png

Look at this from the Game Master

They state km_buddy_distance and do the math (UNK33 / buddy_km_distance) and you will get the total candy awarded and a little bit more, since I removed them from buddy before they completed another candy award

[DrDelay]

You are right, this is what I get for a buddy-Pokémon that has earned a candy:

object(POGOProtos\Data\PokemonData)#18 (34) {
  // (...)
  ["pokemon_id":protected]=>
  object(POGOProtos\Enums\PokemonId)#19 (2) {
    ["value":protected]=>
    int(7)
    ["name":protected]=>
    string(8) "SQUIRTLE"
  }
  // (...)
  ["buddy_candy_awarded":protected]=>
  int(1)
  ["buddy_total_km_walked":protected]=>
  float(3)
}

What bothers me / is strange is that I have a buddy with about 1.5km walked (it shows that in the App on my phone), but no candy earned yet (I'd need to walk a total of 3km). The field is empty for this Pokémon:

object(POGOProtos\Data\PokemonData)#22 (34) {
  // (...)
  ["pokemon_id":protected]=>
  object(POGOProtos\Enums\PokemonId)#23 (2) {
    ["value":protected]=>
    int(4)
    ["name":protected]=>
    string(10) "CHARMANDER"
  }
  // (...)
  ["buddy_candy_awarded":protected]=>
  NULL
  ["buddy_total_km_walked":protected]=>
  NULL
}

So, how does the App know that I already walked 1.5km? The conclusion would be the data is also somewhere else.

[vankxr]

Or maybe it only stores the data when you change your buddy, try to change it

[DrDelay]

It tells me all my progress would be lost if I switched the buddy..

I checked this field in the profile response:

    object(POGOProtos\Data\BuddyPokemon)#24 (5) {
      ["unknownFieldSet":protected]=>
      NULL
      ["extensions":protected]=>
      NULL
      ["id":protected]=>
      int(-1048968017966580097)
      ["start_km_walked":protected]=>
      NULL
      ["last_km_awarded":protected]=>
      NULL
    }

My buddy is linked (by ID), but also here no km count.

If it really only stores the km once 3 is reached instead of really counting up serverside there is tamper potential here (if we were evil people 😈).

[vankxr]

I mean, it only stores the km walked on the pokémon data once you change the buddy, although it does not read it back when you switch the buddy again.

[RedSparr0w]

if it is stored client side then if you logged into your account on a different device it should show your buddy as 0km walked right?
(Before the km walked is sent to the server based on your 1.5km data not coming in)

[vankxr]

Yes, it males sense, but i dont know, just guessing...

[RedSparr0w]

it would also make sense due to reports of eggs & buddy distance increasing at different rates

[vankxr]

@RedSparr0w did you get something? About info Stored clientside

Also, @DrDelay in your last post where you provided the BuddyPokemon proto data, did you move in game after setting the buddy? It can be null because you didnt move, so your km walked didnt update (remember km walked updates are not done "very" frequently)

[AeonLucid]

Please let me know if this is still relevant.

[DrDelay]

I think this is still relevant @AeonLucid, I am still receiving the following PokemonData when requesting my inventory:

{
  1: 0x202b7a81cd7e388c
  2: 7
  3: 13
  4: 10
  5: 10
  6: 221
  7: 57
  15: 0x3f031d25
  16: 0x412663e6
  17: 10
  18: 10
  19: 10
  20: 0x3dc08312
  26: 1475152263159
  29: 1
  30: "SquirtlePie"
  32: 1
  33: 0x40400000
}

@vankxr, I just requested the profile again (like a month after setting it and walking 1.1km) and still get this for the BuddyPokemon (no km counts):

{
  1: 0xf1715125345b3e7f
}

Field 33 is also not set for all of my Pokémon. I even wiped all data from the PoGo app of my phone and logged in again, the km were still there. I think we are missing something 😆.

[AeonLucid]

@DrDelay So field 33 of PokemonData is float buddy_total_km_walked for sure?

Yes, it is, and there are a few additional ones now too. See the diff above. that should give you what you're looking for I think.

[AeonLucid]

@voxx Is the right one the full 1.13.4 IOS .proto file? If so, where did you obtain it?

[voxx]

It's from 0.41.x iirc, but its still relevant, There have been no protos changes since then afaik.

[voxx]

It was from waryas.
