Junk mon event
You know what I’d want? A day where we can power up junk like Sandslash, Arbok, Nido royalty, Venomoth, Golduck, Rapidash, Dodrio, Hypno, Electrode, Marowak, Weezing, Seaking, Noctowl, Ariados, Azumarill, Jumpluff, Sunflora.... for half the normal stardust cost.
I would like to take some 98% or 100% of these junkers up to level 35 or 37 just to get some use out of them. But I’m not about to throw away 50,000 dust in the silly effort.
Anyone else wondering why the dust cost to level up a Groudon is the same as a Sandslash?

Trust me the main disagreement between Niantic and their gamers was the uniform stardust cost for power ups. Instead the Stardust cost should be based on CP range. For example powering up a Sandlash at CP 1300 and Ttar at CP 1300 should cost the same like 800 Stardust but a Ttar at CP 3300 should cost the 8000 stardust and of course since Sandslash doesn't get to that CP it would never need to spend that Stardust.
Awesome idea, although as others have said, it should have been like this from the start. So I think I'd rather they just reduced the stardust cost permanently for a large chunk of the Pokémon.
Could it work that powering up only costs the current amounts for Pokémon that can go over 3000cp? Pokemon that can go to 1000-2000 should have a lower cost and powering up ones that don't go over 1000cp could be barely any cost.
