Methods to earn Stardust quickly in Pokemon GO

There are several ways a trainer can get Stardust faster in Pokemon GO, and combining some sleek methods can drastically amplify the quantity. The foremost thing to consider is Star Piece.

A Star Piece is an item that can increase the Stardust rewards by 50% and stays in effect for 30 minutes. The duration can be further elongated during special events, fortifying your chances of earning more Stardust faster than the average rate. The cost per Star Piece is 100 PokeCoins, a very nominal price for the advantage this gives Stardust collectors.

Pokemon GO enthusiasts can stack the effects of Star Piece while collecting Stardust in the game. There is more than one way of obtaining Stardust; the most fruitful is catching a Pokemon. Players are rewarded with 100 Stardust for every Pocket Monster they catch. Stacking the effect of Star Piece will grant 50% more, making it 150 Stardust per Pokemon.

Catching any weather-boosted fighter drops an extra 25 Stardust. Catching a Pichu in rain weather provides 100 Stardust for the catch, with an additional 25 Stardust, totaling 125 Stardust.

Pokemon GO evolution stages can also make a difference in the amount of Stardust. The first stage evolution drops 300 Stardust with an extra 75 weather boost, and the second stage drops 500 with an extra 125 weather boost.

One can also obtain massive amounts of Stardust by hatching eggs in Pokemon GO, mainly concerning walking. Players need to walk a certain distance per egg type.
