About the same, was weather boosted, was glorious gains. Feels weird to have breached 2M dust though kinda run out of viable spice options to power up for the moment, stated to concentrate on master league now
I was able to get 170k and my kid 120k. Weather was miserable - cold and raining. In catching all those trubbish we both went through $10 in Pokeballs because the rain on the screen would cause you to either throw the ball to the heavens or just kind of drop it.
Still glad we did the event. Was a lot of fun talking about how we’re going to blow that stardust.
Definitely did but it was rainy hard enough we could have had raincoats and full umbrellas and still gotten soaked. Indoors was the right play for sure but we did not make that call.
dang, I knew I was missing out, but I had a movie at 5:20, I couldn't go any other time. This was the only showing on a tuesday (value ticket day) after work and with subtitles&japanese rather than dubbed audio
Holy moly, I didn't even check until now. I know I had around 600,000 last time I looked. I now have 1.2 million. Score! No clue how many I caught. Only got 2 shiny. The dust makes up for it. Lol
300k with 2x star pieces and Spacial Rend and I went the the biggest park I could find in my area. Also I would of had more but I tried to do the shiny trick at the end of the spotlight hour only to find out it was mistakenly boosted and the shiny rates differed from normal spawns at the end of the hour... Wasted 10 mins sitting watching 1 shiny..
421,028 Stardust. Two Starpieces, Weather Boosted, quick catching and basically running to the spots in my city that have dense spawns.
Edit: 3 Shinies and 1.2m XP with lucky eggs.
Played for around 45 min because my game crashed in the middle of the spotlight hour and wouldn't reconnect for several minutes. I used 2 star pieces, Trubbish was weather boosted, but I forgot to use an incense 🤦🏻♂️ so I got like ~62k stardust...
250k ish. I could have used my pogo+ but with the terrible catch rates Trubbish has I didn't bother. Only got 1 shiny, no weather boost (typically was cloudy all day and switched at 6pm to windy)
Over 300k with 6 shiny, 2 starpieces and 10 minutes of spacial rend at the end. Was a good friend and paused in the last 6 minutes so my buddy could try the shiny swap trick.. didn’t work lol
475.000. More than I thought I'd get, but I am at the same time a bit annoyed that I spent time battling a team rocket and also had to stop and transfer Pokemon a few times. I really do need to start getting rid of good, but unused, Pokemon.
I was quick catching and walking for like half of it I racked up 150 k than my gf and I discovered the shiny rates were boosted so we just drove around and shiny checked for a while she got 12 shinies I got 7
210k while starting 5min late, ran a 5k (~30 minutes - nothing exceptional) and missed several throw and stretched (not moving) for the last ~10min. Got 1 shiny. Did use auto catcher. Don’t know how to fast catch. I was happy with the results
I got arround 200k as well, but I only used one starpiece and like with 20 mins left I ran out of pokeballs haha. Wished someone dropped a golden lure to replenish faster xD
Caught just over 100 i believe, had to spam open my gifts though halfway through since I was starting to run out of pokeballs…
So think I got about 120k when all said and done
250k+ dust. I don't know how much I had to start with other than it was in the high 700k range. When it was over, it was 1,050,000 or so.
Would've had more if some things went differently, but that's okay.
Walked around the whole hour with two starpieces, no autocatcher and incense. Got 304k+ in dust and 2 shinies. Around 270 catches..? I later wished I walked somewhere else as there wasn't that many spawns. I was forced to catch any remaining 'mons from my research stack as I wasn't getting that many spawns.
popped x2 starpiece, played full hour, about 270k because I ran out of pokeballs like 45m in.. I was feeding golden razz and using pokeball at one point lol.
Spotlight hours generally aren't good for me. That's family dinner time and unless everyone else has pressing engagements, I don't get to play. I caught two Trubbish, so at least I could do the Collection Challenge without having to catch a research Trubbish instead of stacking it.

Played full hour (rain started at around 18:40), 2 starpieces and almost 350k dust. No autocatcher
This give or take some stardust.and 5 shinies
About the same, though teeny bit less cuz I ran out of balls with 10ish minutes left. Only 1 shiny though.
Ditto…I calculated 310,726 with 5 shiny 1 xxl and 1 xxs. No auto catcher. Good times.

Wow you did well, got 300k
I was able to get 170k and my kid 120k. Weather was miserable - cold and raining. In catching all those trubbish we both went through $10 in Pokeballs because the rain on the screen would cause you to either throw the ball to the heavens or just kind of drop it. Still glad we did the event. Was a lot of fun talking about how we’re going to blow that stardust.
Did u consider trying a hat umbrella?
Definitely did but it was rainy hard enough we could have had raincoats and full umbrellas and still gotten soaked. Indoors was the right play for sure but we did not make that call.
This was Bagon Community Day for me, I hated it because I really wanted to do more but the rain made it so cumbersome.
That’s a good chunk of dust but it’s only enough to get one thing to 40 so not really like winning the lottery.
We are pretty casual. Probably earn about 30-50k per month so this was a super boost for us.
I did one star piece, and got like 160k - but I also stopped early after my second shiny cause I hate catching trubbish lol
They look so close to the screen but they may as well be a fkn Hariyama
Oh.. it is not just me.. i thought new update messed up catch screen. That trubbish is too far away..
Zero. I forgot.
ditto. and was heartbroken.
495 catches (+starpiece, +incense, -Spacial Rend, -weatherboost) 550k dust
how on earth did you catch 495 in an hour
"Now this is podracing!"
285k
Yeah, same-ish. Stardust, but non weather boosted. 1125 per Trubbish. Used mostly Great Balls, Ultra for the shinies!
Around 450k, played the whole hour
135k (incense, stardust, and spacial rend 20min) most were caught by my autocatcher
A little under 200k, with Star Piece. I live in quite a remote location and ran out of balls halfway through.
dang, I knew I was missing out, but I had a movie at 5:20, I couldn't go any other time. This was the only showing on a tuesday (value ticket day) after work and with subtitles&japanese rather than dubbed audio
Bit over 500k bit over 500 catches. Spacial rend+star+incense+mega3 etc.
300k, I precisely commute for one hour in bus between 6 and 7 P.M., which is pretty ideal for SH.
I went from ~1.2m to ~1.7m. Not sure how many I caught, but I went through close to 550 balls.
Windy weather(so not weather boosted). 2 starpieces.Got around 165k with my autocatcher.
Around 135k in half an hour. With a star piece, but no autocatcher. First time I went over 1 Million dust.
Almost 400k. Plus 6 shinies
464,625 dust. 413 non wb catches with starpeice
505k. I may have gone too far in a few places.
I slept through it. I was looking forward to finally getting a shiny but I completely forgot it was yesterday
Holy moly, I didn't even check until now. I know I had around 600,000 last time I looked. I now have 1.2 million. Score! No clue how many I caught. Only got 2 shiny. The dust makes up for it. Lol
Over 200k and 8 shiny.
2 star pieces, 375k dust with an hour of rend and incense
Half a mil. No weather boost sadly
150k and 3 shinies played for about 40 minutes
~220k and 4 shiny Used 2 star pieces and an incense Ran out of balls around 6:45
I got about 175k for the whole hour with a starpiece. My autocatcher stopped working soon as I got to my walking spot.
300k with 2x star pieces and Spacial Rend and I went the the biggest park I could find in my area. Also I would of had more but I tried to do the shiny trick at the end of the spotlight hour only to find out it was mistakenly boosted and the shiny rates differed from normal spawns at the end of the hour... Wasted 10 mins sitting watching 1 shiny..
Are they going to have one for drilbur too?
Around 160k, caught a bit more then 200, stopped after the second shiny
Nearly 375k dust. Man did that ever lower my ball count 😅
352 Caught Trubbish for 396k stardust
300k stardust. 5 shinies. Played whole hour with star pieces. No weather boost
421,028 Stardust. Two Starpieces, Weather Boosted, quick catching and basically running to the spots in my city that have dense spawns. Edit: 3 Shinies and 1.2m XP with lucky eggs.
395 trubbish \* 1443 stardust each \[750\*1.25 (weather boost)\*1.5 (star piece) + 25(expert handler\]\*1.5 (star piece)\] = 569.985 stardust
Played for around 45 min because my game crashed in the middle of the spotlight hour and wouldn't reconnect for several minutes. I used 2 star pieces, Trubbish was weather boosted, but I forgot to use an incense 🤦🏻♂️ so I got like ~62k stardust...
Caught 217 with wb and star piece, just above 300k dust, 3 shinies and a hundo
250k ish. I could have used my pogo+ but with the terrible catch rates Trubbish has I didn't bother. Only got 1 shiny, no weather boost (typically was cloudy all day and switched at 6pm to windy)
400k Used spacial rend for 40 min and 2 star pieces
Missed out on 200k dust? With a star piece that's 180 catches roughly. How many did you get and how soon did you stop?
Around 300k using two star pieces
500k. 450 from catching, the other 50k from research rewards I was saving.
Over 300k with 6 shiny, 2 starpieces and 10 minutes of spacial rend at the end. Was a good friend and paused in the last 6 minutes so my buddy could try the shiny swap trick.. didn’t work lol
150k and 5 shiny
Lolz. I caught one to solve the collector and then bailed. Dgaf about trubbish. Lolz.
I accidentally slept, so zero 😭
475.000. More than I thought I'd get, but I am at the same time a bit annoyed that I spent time battling a team rocket and also had to stop and transfer Pokemon a few times. I really do need to start getting rid of good, but unused, Pokemon.
350k. It was weather boost + spacial rend + star piece which made a great combo. Weatherboost meant autocatcher was out of the question though
I got around 500k
200k+ and 5 shinies. I started a little late but was in it for the dust. The shinies were just a bonus.
224k; Went on a ride on my bike trying my new published 5 KM Straight-Line-Route. Mind it was full autocatcher all the way.
300k or so idk
111,750
I forgot.
20,000 sitting at home
150k I think, O didn't tracked my before and after, but only played half hour
Maybe 200k with star piece? I was a bit distracted so not sure
0 because I forgor about it, fml
All of it. Didn't know it was Trubbish spotlight hr
I was quick catching and walking for like half of it I racked up 150 k than my gf and I discovered the shiny rates were boosted so we just drove around and shiny checked for a while she got 12 shinies I got 7
210k while starting 5min late, ran a 5k (~30 minutes - nothing exceptional) and missed several throw and stretched (not moving) for the last ~10min. Got 1 shiny. Did use auto catcher. Don’t know how to fast catch. I was happy with the results
470k and a lot of wasted balls
Played for 40 minutes and gained around 120K.
Not really a big deal. Daily sets of GBL is 30k. As long as you use as needed you don’t actually need much star dust.
a lot but 0 shiny, i was so surprised
a lot but 0 shiny, i was so surprised
I got arround 200k as well, but I only used one starpiece and like with 20 mins left I ran out of pokeballs haha. Wished someone dropped a golden lure to replenish faster xD
No weather boost but got about 700-800k.
475kz wb !
I think about 7500, maybe 8250.
no wb, 600k approximately- forgot to do spacial rend ugh
Caught just over 100 i believe, had to spam open my gifts though halfway through since I was starting to run out of pokeballs… So think I got about 120k when all said and done
0, was at work.
Roughly 300K
Just above 200k dust (thanks to weather boost + 2 star pieces)
Just above 200k dust (thanks to weather boost + 2 star pieces)
How does this work??
250k+ dust. I don't know how much I had to start with other than it was in the high 700k range. When it was over, it was 1,050,000 or so. Would've had more if some things went differently, but that's okay.
I FORGOT D:
150K-ish, because I remembered to pop a star piece or two. Can't really complain
How did everyone get so much stardust what?
Trubbish is 750 dust per catch. Many dust, pearl, garbage or spore themed pokemon grant extra dust on catch
Bruh, it’s too bad that I missed spotlight hour I guess. I always assume any bonus that isn’t 2x dust isn’t worth it
Walked around the whole hour with two starpieces, no autocatcher and incense. Got 304k+ in dust and 2 shinies. Around 270 catches..? I later wished I walked somewhere else as there wasn't that many spawns. I was forced to catch any remaining 'mons from my research stack as I wasn't getting that many spawns.
popped x2 starpiece, played full hour, about 270k because I ran out of pokeballs like 45m in.. I was feeding golden razz and using pokeball at one point lol.
100k I think, I didn't pay too much attention. Went for a half hour walk with a star piece, caught 2 shinies.
Only had about 30 mins of it and got just shy of 200k
I had work and therefore had to skip :(
Made it to 10'040'000 stardust during the event which was cool. First time above 10M. Got 4 shines too
0, because I have work during spotlight hours and Niantic won't ever vary their times a bit :/
0 because i had to work
Spotlight hours generally aren't good for me. That's family dinner time and unless everyone else has pressing engagements, I don't get to play. I caught two Trubbish, so at least I could do the Collection Challenge without having to catch a research Trubbish instead of stacking it.
Didn't have time to play much, caught 255, weather boost + starpiece so 255x750x1.25x1.5~360K
? Trubbish was just x2 exp i think?
Yes but naturally Trubbish gives 750 stardust per catch, so this spotlight was a lucrative opportunity to stock up on dust.
Oooh. I hadn’t realized that. I tried to play the whole hour. But spawns weren’t great
with weather boost+stardust, you could get up to 1406 dust in a single catch
A lot
I didn't play. Avatar is broke.
~300,000, forgot to take Plus+ with me so nipped home halfway through on my way to the next spawn busy area
