Stardust



Stardust is a consumable resource that can be used to increase the CP level of your Pokémon by powering up. Stardust is acquired by capturing Pokémon or by feeding one in a Gym. Note that Stardust will not help your Pokémon evolve into their next form, as that is Candy's role.

The amount of Stardust required to power up a Pokémon is proportional to the percentage of the Pokémon's maximum potential CP. There is no difference in the amount of Stardust required to power up a Pokémon's base form versus its evolved state.
