Stardust (2024)

Stardust is a consumable, Pokémon-related resource that can be used by Trainers to strengthen their Pokémonor perform trading. The amount of received Stardust in 30 minutes can be increased by 50% with the usage of a Star Piece.

The amount of Stardust required to power up a Pokémon is proportional to the percentage of the Pokémon's maximum potential CP. The cost of each power up can be from 200 to 15,000 Stardust, depending on what level certain Pokémon is. There is no difference in the amount of Stardust required to power up a Pokémon regarding its evolution stage form. The cost of powering up a Lucky Pokémon is halved. Shadow Pokémon require 20% more Stardust while Purified Pokémon require 10% less Stardust to power up. The Lucky and Purified reduction can stack to become only 45% of original value.

Stardust is necessary to perform Pokémon trading. Pokédex unregistered, Shiny, and Legendary Pokémon require more Stardust to be traded. The amount required can be reduced by having higher friendship level with another Trainer.

Stardust can be used to change the forms of certain Pokémon.

Stardust can be used to activate Adventure Effects.
