So the Season of Heritage has just started and we’re all looking at our screens with a sense of dread and confusion. After all, earning 120,000 Stardust sounds absolutely absurd. Granted, we’ve got all of December to do so, but even then… Getting that much stardust isn’t the easiest thing… or is it? Well in this article we’ll cover the most efficient and easiest ways for you to gather stardust. That way we can complete the Season of Heritage Stardust Challenge before it’s over!

Stardust is one of the most useful components in Pokemon Go. You need it for trading, powering up and changing Pokemon forms. It can quickly get depleted as it’s used consistently. Thankfully, as part of the Stardust challenge, you don’t need to be hoarding 120,000 stardust. It’ll start counting as soon as the challenge is live, and if you spend any, then that number won’t be taken from your total.

So it’s just a matter of earning that amount in the next month.
