How to get Stardust is a question that any rookie can answer for themselves the instant they start playingPokemon GO. Stardust is found from virtually doing anything. The real quandary is how to get lots of Stardust as quickly as possible.

Pokemon GOgives out lots of Stardust in small increments. So small that even veteran and expert players will be waiting on their next influx of Stardust to progress. Getting lump sums of Stardust is indeed possible, but trainers need to focus on a specific set of tactics and look sharp.
Pop A Star Piece
This can be a bit costly to activate 100% of the time. But in very specific moments when there are loads of Pokemon of gyms around, go ahead and use a Star Piece, then get to work for 30 minutes. The extra 50% goes a long way toward proving why Pokemon GO is one of themultiplayer mobile games unlike any other. This boost also applies when opening gifts or receiving rewards, so pop them timely.
Match Weather And Types
Everyone has been there; there are several Pokemon around but there is only time to catch one or two. Which ones should the trainer target if they already have the selection in the lineup? The answer is to check the weather and the type.

Checking the weather may require the gamer toturn off AR mode. As always, stay alert to surroundings and be sure to put on sunscreen for those Fire types and bundle up for the Ice.
Pokemon That Give Bonus Stardust
While players are hunting forthe new incense additions, they may run into a Pokemon on the following list. These yield extra Stardust, so prioritize them highly, even if they are spotted from far away.
700
750
950
2,100
1,000
1,200
500
Vespiquen
These do tend to be on the rare side, so trainers should target them anyhow, but it’s good to know this ahead of time so that a slower trainer who isn’t aware of the bonus can be outraced.
Hatch & Travel
Look forthe greatest Steel typeto hatch? Or simply just willing to pop any egg in the incubator and run? Good call. Eggs that catch come with a range of Stardust.

Doing the math, it’s actually somewhat more valuable to do the two-kilometer eggs because more can hatch. But when covering long distances without looking down at the phone, go ahead and pop in the toughest ones.
Catch Of The Day & Consecutive Bonus
The toughest fights in gaming are fromPokemon GO. That’s not an exaggeration. So don’t strain too hard and fruitlessly battle against tough creatures or trainers. Remember that the first catch every day gives a nice boost of Stardust. Do this seven days in a row and expect a veritable truckload of Stardust to present itself.
Battle Team Rocket
Getting into a scrum with Team Rocket is more than just a fulfillment of role-playing in thePokemonuniverse. Beating them is valuable, regardless of where they stand on the company’s org chart. Take out a group of grunts and their leader to bring in another haul of Stardust.
Feed Pokemon At The Gym
Feeding berries to a Pokemon guarding a gym that the trainer’s team owns will give some Stardust as a reward. In busy cities, this can result in a bounty.

It will take many berries to make this a reliable strategy. Oftentimes, players are sitting on a crop of them without realizing it. Remember that this process can be repeated every 30 minutes for even more Stardust.
Hold Rewards For Double And Triple Events
This is a pretty sneaky way that players who rack up Field Expedition rewards to cash them in. The boxes don’t have to be opened immediately, nor do any rewards, for that matter. There is an obvious temptation to open them right away. But patient players who wait to crack open their gifts until there is a double or triple event will get double or triple the Stardust from each package they open.
Participate In The Battle League
At the end of each Battle League season, there will be a reward given out that contains Stardust. It’s just a little bit that even casual players can appreciate. The hardcore trainers, though, will find that they can get exponentially more by climbing the charts.
Turn On Adventure Sync
It’s a simple process to turn on Adventure Sync, but many don’t do it because they feel the drain on the battery when they aren’t playing or the drain on data is too much.
50
100
16,000
While these should be taken into consideration, there is free Stardust waiting for those who simply walk around. At least get the highest reward before thinking about disabling the feature.
