Stardust, where u at?
Just tried to recalculate my Stardust count (would be nice to have that @niantic) because it says so much more than XP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My stats:
43k catched Pokémon *175 = 7.5Mio
901 Eggs * 1400 = 1.25Mio
5.5k feeding * 25 = 150k
200 Raids since * 500 = 100k
236 trades *100 + 20000 + 5*1600 = -50k
--------------------------------------------------------
= about 9Mio (500k not used)
This number I double checked with the investments I've made:
1. Water: 1.2Mio
2x Kyogre 450k, Gyaradosses 500k, 1xKingdra 150k, Vaps 100k
2. Dragon: 1.1Mio
Dragonites 800k, Ray 220k, Latios 80k
3. Elektric: 950k
2x Raikou 450k, 1x Zapdos 225k, 1 Volteon 270k
4. Dark: 800k
Ttars 750k, Houndoom 50k
5. Grass: 575k
Venusaurs: ca350k, Eggy: 225k
6. Ground: 550k
1 Groudon 225k, 1x Rhydon: 225k, other Rhydons ca. 100k
7. Flying: 510k
Dragonites 160k, Lugias 350k
8. Fighting: 500k
2x Champ 450k, other Champs: ca. 50k
9. Psycic: 450k
Mewtwos 350k, Alkazams ca100k
9. Bug: 450k
Scizor 225k, Pinsir 225k
11. Fire: 400k
2x Moltres 200k, Charizard 180k, Flareons 100k
12. Ice: 350k
Articuno 225k, Clyoster 125k
13. Rock: 250k
1x Ttar 100k, Golems 150k
14. Ghost: 225k
Gengar 225k
15. Normal: 120k
Snorlax: 40k, Blissey 80k
Steal: 0
Poison: 0
Fairy: 0
--------------------
Total 8.5Mio (+500k) = 9Mio

Where did your stardust go?

Just as a curiosity, Blissey with a fairy subtype would be a monster. It'd take neutral damage from fighting instead of being weak to it, which would mean our optimal DPS counter to it would be Metagross with 20% worse DPS than what Machamp now gets against Blissey. Defeating a maxed Blissey in less than 60 seconds would be impossible.
Using your dust estimates for each category:
107k caught*175 = 18,725 Mil
2529 eggs*1400 = 3,54 Mil
40k berries*25 = 1 Mil
300 raids*500 = 150k
2k trades*100 = -200k
About 4000 coins claimed from old gym system*500/10 = 200k
= 23,415 Mil
Would be too much work to calculate if that matches what I've spent, but I think the estimate of 175 dust per catch is very generous and the real average is probably lower even with star pieces and dust bonus events.
Pic attached of where my dust has gone. Sitting on 4 million at the moment.
"I think the estimate of 175 dust per catch is very generous and the real average is probably lower even with star pieces and dust bonus events."
175 is probably more on the lower end.
I almost never use Starpieces. Also started at the very beginning and slowed down from than (now u get more dust and there is always an event) which means most players have a higher multiplicator.
However, I see trainers with over 100k catched combined with not using starpieces have it a little lower becuz than the effect of daily bonus and research task gets smaller. Maybe 150. But to reach even lower you would have to be a non cashing 24/7 gamer who catches only with Go+ (to not/rarely catch any evolutions)
impressive collection btw!
For the vast majority of my catches there has not been a stardust event on. I'd say at most I have 20-25k catches during some kind of a dust bonus, which would raise the average by 25% to 125. I'd judge evolved 2nd forms are maybe 1 in 20 catches and third forms are 1 in 100, which raises the average by 14%, multiplied with the event bonus that gives me a 142,5 average. For star pieces I'd estimate at most 10% of event gameplay to be with them and so little of non-event gameplay to be with them that it doesn't matter, which raises the total to about 150. Still quite a ways from 175 and I can't think of anything else that would raise the average.
Daily bonuses should actually be accounted for separately, totally forgot about them. That's a simple calculation if you know how long you've had a streak, although I can't recall exactly when the bonus started.
And thanks, been slowly working my way up to 100 maxed, still need to grind a bunch to get there.
