Last updated
Ever wondered what the sparkling Stardust in Pokemon GO is for? Let’s dive into what it actually does!
So, what does Stardust do in Pokemon GO? Stardust is a must-have for trainers looking to make their Pokemon stronger and more competitive.
Stardust Powers Up Your Pokemon
Stardust is the magical dust you collect in Pokemon GO. You use it to power up your Pokemon. This makes your Pokemon stronger in battles.
Every time you catch a Pokemon, you get Stardust. You also get it for hatching eggs and controlling Gyms. The more Stardust you collect, the more you can power up your Pokemon.
Why Stardust Matters
Stronger Pokemon means you can win more battles. Whether you’re fighting other trainers, taking down a Gym, or battling in a raid, you need powerful Pokemon. Stardust helps you get there.
Remember, powering up your Pokemon also raises their CP (Combat Power). This shows how strong your Pokemon is. More Stardust equals higher CP and tougher Pokemon!
