How Much Stardust You Get From Eggs

 Come Join My Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/OpachiiO/


This may not be 100% useful information, but interesting nonetheless. This past week I have been collecting candy and egg data of 2km, 5km, and 10km eggs. It all started when I was typing my "Get the Most out of Thanksgiving" post. I was hoping to include both experience gain and stardust bonuses, but I couldn't find any figures over how much stardust is gained from hatching eggs.

I spent a good half hour to an hour seeing many people searching, but no one with the answer. I don't have a whole lot of data so when you hatch eggs, don't worry about the candy, I have the candy numbers marked in the top columns, all I need from you is the amount of stardust respectfully placed in the correct "candy" column.
2km Eggs
5km Eggs
10km Eggs

Based on the figured I have done so far, 2km eggs are the best to hatch if you want to farm stardust, but 10km eggs give the most stardust per candy ranging around 80-100 stardust per candy while 5km and 2km eggs range from 60-80 stardust per candy. To get these figures, just divide the amount of stardust by the amount of candies.

The reason 2km eggs are better to farm; even though you can't choose which egg you get, you can still focus on certain ones, the distance traveled for 10km eggs can still give you 1600 stardust which is the max amount for 5km eggs. This makes the average stardust given from 10kms anywhere from 160-320 stardust per kilometer, 160-320 for 5km eggs, and as for 2km eggs, 200-400 stardust per kilometer.

Those 2km eggs seem to be a lot of unwanted Pokemon and are the most hated egg to get, the now seem to hold a better purpose than what's inside. 10km eggs on the other hand, if you have all the Pokemon you can hatch from them, are almost useless in the sense of stardust, candies to even; 16 candies from walking 10 kilometers, no thank you.

Still uncertain, I think you get a base amount of stardust, depending on the eggs you hatch. The bases I believe are the same as the experience; 2km 200 experience, 5km 500 experience, 10km 1000 experience. This would be irrelevant if true because either way you get so much per candy and it will be hard to determine rather or not this is true.

Get the Most Out of the Thanksgiving Bonuses


Everyone has been asking if using the lucky egg would give 4x the amount of experience during the event, which Niantic even confirmed the answer for us that indeed it does. Here are a few of the things that you will need in order to get the most out of this event.


  • 7-day streak: the event lasts for 7 days, so by the time this post is out, a majority of those that read it during its first arrival to the web; should be able to get the 4000 experience bonus when completing their daily streak within the event. Just before your last streak count, be sure to use a lucky egg.

  • Eggs:  If properly placed in incubators, hatch all your eggs at once! Put your 10km eggs in first, walk until they are halfway hatched, put your 5km eggs in, walk until your 5km eggs hit 3km and your 10km eggs hit 8km, then put your 2 km eggs in incubators.

  • Evolving: Save all your candies until the last day of the event (or just before it ends) and evolve your Pokemon.

  • New Pokedex entry: Save any new evolutions you might be able to get until just before the event ends

  • Lucky Egg: If everything is done right above, use a lucky egg to double everything or get 4x the amount while the event is still going on!


Normal experience gain:

Eggs: 2km 200, 5km 500, 10km 1000

Pokestop: 50

Evolving: 500

New Pokemon entry: 600

Daily Bonus: 500 for both stops and first catch

7 day streak: 2000 for both stops and first catch

Accuracy: Nice 10, great, 50, excellent 100

Experience from Lucky Eggs:

Eggs: 2km 400, 5km 1000, 10km 2000

Pokestop: 100

Evolving: 1000

New Pokemon entry: 1200

Daily Bonus: 1000 for both stops and first catch

7 day streak: 4000 for both stops and first catch

Accuracy: Nice 20, great 100, excellent 200

Experience from Lucky Egg+ Event Bonus

Eggs: 2km 800, 5km 2000, 10km 4000

Pokestop: 200

Evolving: 2000

New Pokemon entry: 2400

Daily Bonus: 2000 for both stops and first catch

7 day streak: 8000 for both stops and first catch

Accuracy: Nice 100, great, 200, excellent 400

The best way to make the most out of the event is by getting 9 eggs, wait before putting them all in. Put 10kms in first as stated above, walk them to 5km, put your 5km eggs in, walk another 3km putting your 10km eggs at 8km, and 5km eggs at 3km, then put your 2km eggs in. Once that is done, try to walk another km so that you only need one more to walk on all your eggs. Use a lucky egg and continue to walk.

It is important that you get all of your eggs the day before your 7 day streak if it isn't already too late. Don't catch anything or spin any stops until your eggs are set up as said above rather you can get your 7 day bonus or not. If you can't it's still an extra 2000 experience each.

Hopefully, you have a nice stock of candies ready because you will be using the evolving method often used to level. Luckily I saved about 5-6 new Pokemon entries so I will gain a bit more experience than others, but if you have new Pokemon entries, be sure to evolve those as well. If done correctly, using averages, you can expect to get roughly 100,000 experience. I have seen screenshots of most 120,000.
