Stardust is one of the most crucial resources in Pokemon GO. You need it to unlock new moves, level up Pokemon, and trade monsters with your friends. However, it is not that easy to acquire Stardust. So, it is advisable to take advantage of the 3x Catch Stardust bonus.

Using Star Pieces during this event will give you 450 Stardust for every Pokemon that you catch. Weather-boosted Pokemon and evolved forms of Pokemon will yield more Stardust. Using the quick-catching technique can help you collect Pokemon faster. Also, you should try to capture every monster that appears in your catch radius.

It is recommended to use Incense while you're on the move to keep a steady flow of Pokemon. If you are going to be resting in between your sessions, you should find a PokeStop so that you can use a Lure Module and catch the Pokemon that spawn around you.

Also, the first catch of the day bonus can be combined with your 7-day streak bonus as another great way to increase your Stardust reserve.

While making throws, it is important to remember that there are some excellent bonuses for throwing Poke Balls at Pokemon the right way. Nice Throws will give you four Candies, Great Throws five, and Excellent Throws will reward you with six Candies for every catch. You can further increase the Candy earnings by using Pinap Berries.
