Stardust is an essential material in Pokémon GO. It’s a consumable used for trading and evolution, so players must know how to gain this valuable resource.
Players can earn Stardust by capturing Pokémon, hatching them, participating in trainer events, or participating in the GO Battle League.

The most common way players can earn Stardust is by catching various Pokémon in the game. Each Pokémon player’s catch grants a minimum of 100 stardust, and weather boosts can increase the net gain from a capture. The higher the evolution of the Pokémon, the more Stardust a player can earn as well. We’ve posted a chart from the Pokémon GO Wiki below with each of the possible Stardust payouts.
This first catch of the day also grants a Stardust bonus of 1,800, and if players catch Pokemon seven days in a row, they’ll earn 9,000 Stardust.
Make sure to keep the following methods in mind as well when playing GO, as these unconventional methods can net players substantial Stardust.
