Stardust Investment Formulas
• Standard: Sum of step costs from POWER_UP_COSTS table • Lucky: Total_Dust × 0.50 (50% Discount) • Shadow: Total_Dust × 1.20 (+20% Premium) • Purified: Total_Dust × 0.90 (10% Discount)
Grand_Total = Σ(PowerUp_Dust) + Σ(SecondMove_Dust)
Worked Real-World Examples & Scenarios (3)
1 Example 1: Appraising a 15/15/14 (98%) Legendary Raid Boss
Scenario: Catching a weather-boosted Rayquaza after a 5-star raid at Level 25 and calculating its max Master League CP.
Current Catch CP: ~2,730 CP. At Level 50 (CP Multiplier 0.84029): CP = floor((299 * sqrt(185) * sqrt(230) * 0.84029^2) / 10) = 4,324 CP.
2 Example 2: Optimizing a Great League (1,500 CP Cap) Swampert
Scenario: Choosing between a 15/15/15 Swampert and a 0/14/14 Swampert for competitive GO Battle League Great League.
Candidate B powers up 5.5 levels higher because Attack contributes twice as heavily to the CP formula. Candidate B has +12% more total bulk (HP × Def).
3 Example 3: Stardust & Candy Budget from Level 20 to Level 40
Scenario: Budgeting resources to max out a raid-caught Mewtwo from Level 20 to Level 40.
Power-ups required = 40 half-levels. Stardust progression = 225,000 Stardust. Candy progression = 248 Rare Candies.
In-Depth Mechanics: How Pokémon GO Stardust & Raid Team Budget Planner Calculates Under the Hood
In modern gaming engines like Pokémon GO, client-side visuals often mask complex underlying mathematics. Calculations for coordinates, drop probabilities, leveling curves, and stat scaling do not operate on simple linear equations. Instead, they rely on discrete tick functions, quadratic experience curves, and floating-point boundary approximations that can drastically alter outcomes when rounded improperly.
The Pokémon GO Stardust & Raid Team Budget Planner runs all computations client-side using validated mathematical representations derived from official game decompilations and verified community research. By executing calculations instantly within your browser, you receive zero-latency outputs with complete precision—ensuring that your in-game resource investments, building dimensions, and strategic decisions match true server-side reality.
Whether you are budgeting thousands of rare materials for a survival mega-structure, calculating precise tick-perfect redstone delays, or min-maxing competitive damage per second, small rounding discrepancies compound rapidly over large quantities. This calculator factors in official floor and ceiling integer truncation to prevent wasted items and guarantee 100% reliable results across all platforms.
