To progress in Pokémon GO, collecting XP and Stardust is particularly important. Now, a trainer has raked in an insane amount with just one throw. We at MeinMMO show you how he did it and how you can do it too.
What content is this about? In addition to Pokémon, experience points (XP) and Stardust are among the most important content in the game. Because of these, you can level up and also power up your Pokémon. For this reason, trainers usually try to grab as much of it as possible.
The Reddit user matthewormatt has now shown in his post how insane amounts of Stardust and XP can currently be obtained when catching. We have summarized how much he collected in total and how he managed to do it for you below.
One throw gives trainer insane amounts of XP & Stardust
How much Stardust & XP did he get? As Reddit user matthewormatt shows in his post , on May 14, 2024, he gained a lot from his first throw of the day. He managed to secure a total of 27,450 Stardust and 44,340 XP with just a single throw.
How he achieved this amount of XP & Stardust
Several factors played a crucial role in obtaining these amounts of Stardust and XP, which ultimately boosted these values. For instance, you are rewarded for fabulous throws, curveballs, hitting on the first throw, and having an active, suitable Mega Evolution with additional XP and Stardust. However, the following points were ultimately decisive for matthewormatt’s results:
First throw of the day: The throw shown by matthewormatt is his first catch of the day. This gives you during the event Catch Wonder
, which runs until May 19, 2024, at 8:00 PM, 10 times the XP and 5 times the Stardust. In his specific case, he can secure as much as 30,000 XP this way.
7-day bonus: Additionally, you are rewarded for catching a Pokémon for 7 consecutive days. This was also the case for matthewormatt. As seen in his picture, he was able to benefit from a series bonus of 12,000 XP. And there is also a bonus for a catching streak of 7 days for Stardust. According to Niantic’s information, this currently amounts to 3,000 Stardust.
Selection of the Pokémon: The selection of the “right” Pokémon can also be crucial for getting particularly much Stardust. There are 22 monsters that consistently provide you with more Stardust when catching. Since Audino is the Pokémon that gives the most Stardust when catching, matthewormatt specifically sought it for his catch, according to his own statements.
It already provides you with 2,100 Stardust without a lucky egg, weather boost, or event bonuses. He then also combined this with a lucky egg and a star piece to maximize his XP and Stardust.
He writes in the Reddit comments: The Catch-Wonder event gives you 10x XP and 5x dust for your first catch of the day. My 7-day streak coincidentally fell on the first day of the event. Equipped with a lucky egg, star piece, and Mega Evolution, I started. I specifically hunted Audino to make it the first catch of the day. I just needed that weather boost!
Unfortunately, he did not have the weather boost during his catch, as he further explains in the comments. This would have given him even more Stardust.
Trainers celebrate the catch
In the Reddit community, trainers are thrilled about this catch with such a high amount of Stardust. Some are particularly surprised that matthewormatt actually found a wild Audino to use it for his 7-day streak and thus benefit from the numerous bonuses. You can read the following in the Reddit comments:
- B-Sauce:
And I thought my Wailmer Stardust was good.
- HarvestMoonRS:
I am even more impressed that you managed to find one.
- Capta1nAsh:
Well done. I believe my 7th day is the day after the end of the event. RIP to anyone who got the catch before it started.
What do you think of matthewormatt’s insane catch? Have you also managed to secure such a high amount of Stardust? Or are you more focused on experience points? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.
