## What is Tailwind Guide?

Tailwind is a guide that walks you through the process of exciting your buddy without a poffin in the popular creature-based AR game. Its step-by-step instructions make this hidden mechanic accessible to everyone and its built-in timer means it’s a one stop shop. No need to keep going back and forth to your device’s native timer, Tailwind is the only resource you need!

Get as involved as you want! There’s no reason you can’t jump right into the guide. If you want to delve deeper into excited mechanics, however, there’s also a section for that. You’ll learn all there is to learn about exciting your buddy and its benefits. You can also learn a way to make your buddy excited even faster!

Disclaimer: Tailwind is a fan-made app and is not affiliated with the Pokémon Company, Nintendo, or Niantic.
