How Much Stardust You Get From Eggs

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.

A Belated Thank You We Should All Be a Part of

There are several reasons each individual should be thankful, many things of which aren't shared but personal. Even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be thankful for the things you have. Only a week late, there is one person we should all consider thanking, and that is Satoshi Tajiri.

Tajiri had a dream, it began with his love for insects. He was very fond of insects and tadpoles found in the suburbs of Tokyo; later to form the idea of one of the largest creative franchises in the world. He loved insects so much, he wanted to share the thrills of collecting them with other children.

Getting a few of his friends together, Tajiri created Game Freak. When Tajiri discovered the Game Boy and Game Boy Linking Cable, his dream grew bigger, imagining the insects traveling through the wire.


Ultraman; a fantasy TV series influenced Tajiri to further his creation when the protagonist of the series used monsters that were contained in small capsules. He later pitched "Capsule Monsters" to Nintendo, only for his idea to be dismissed. Later on, Tajiri befriends Shigeki Morimoto who pitches the idea to Nintendo once again.

Once the game was funded, it spent 6 years in development, leading to a financial loss, and "Capsule Monsters" being changed to the well-known game "Pocket Monsters". Several members of Tajiri's team left him, while he stayed with his ship, everyone thought to be sinking. Many unpaid hours went by while the rest his team, including him, finished the game.

If it weren't for Tajiri being stubborn about his creation, we wouldn't have the Pokemon we know and love today. Though his team also deserves a big thank you for sticking with him through his long journey, and Nintendo as well for helping make it possible for everyone to share the joy of collecting "insects" Tajiri had.

Of course, if it weren't for Niantic, we wouldn't have Pokemon go. Though through a bit of hardship, not being very communicative and drastic changes to the game, we owe them a big thank you too.

I would like to Thank,

Satoshi Tajiri and his team, Nintendo, and Niantic for all of their hard work!
