Any Pokemon worthy of 100k stardust?
Is there a Pokemon you would spend 100k stardust to level up, lets say to lvl 30, and if there is, what would it be?
Answers
Absolutely! Not just a few, but basically any/all that fit my criteria. Though if I have two mons with a preferred attacking moveset, I only power up the one with the better IVs and leave the other for training/trading.
Fully Power Up (Currently to Level 37.5)
1. Listed as top tier attacker per GamePress and has an IV of 90%+.
Power Up To Level 30
1. Listed as top tier defender per GamePress and has an IV of 90%+. Previously I was working a few of these up to max but with the gym changes I stopped at 4 of those.
2. Has 100% IVs. Doesn't matter the mon or moveset (though I only power up one if I get a duplicate moveset mon).
100k Stardust actually isn't all that much when you get to the higher levels. You'll probably get that much while levelling from 30 to 31 :P (can't be bothered to look it up right now, I'm only level 28 though).
Most good pokemon will be worth 100K dust getting to level 30. The real question is which pokemon are worth training beyond 30. Probably limited to Legendaries and the extremely elite (Dragonite/Snorlax and a few others).
The most I spent on a single pokemon was probably 80k on my Slowbro with Confusion+Psychic, because he's my favorite Gen 1 pokemon, and on my Lapras because it's Lapras. I took both from level 20 to 30.5.
The other mons I maxed out - Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Exeggutor, Poliwrath and Vileplume - already started from higher levels.
Also depends on how rare a pokemon is in your area. Many places have an abundance of Eevees, you could come across a high CP AND high IV one to evolve. Same with Exeggute and Magikarp (near water). That alone might save you 50k stardust or more.
Lapras and Snorlax though are very rare, so when you get one with good IV and moveset, it's probably worth powering up!
