Pokémon GO Players Prioritize Stardust Over Gigantamax Snorlax Return
Pokémon GO is bringing back Gigantamax Snorlax for a limited-time event beginning December 8, 2025, at 6:00 a.m., but the community’s excitement centers not on the rare monster itself, but on the substantial stardust rewards offered during Dyna battles. The event provides opportunities to earn 25,000 stardust per successful Gigantamax battle, potentially increasing to 37,500 with a Star Piece.
While the event includes free research tasks, a $4.99 ticket (approximately €5.49) unlocks a Dyna Mushroom, 25,000 experience points, double XP for Dyna battles, and an increased Dyna Particle limit of 5,600. Though, it’s the potential for significant stardust gains that’s dominating player discussion, notably for those struggling to power up their Pokémon.
Players can also receive a Dynamax Machollo as a reward alongside candies and Dyna Particles. The event is part of a larger series of december events planned for Pokémon GO.
Community reaction, as shared on Reddit, reveals a pragmatic focus. “Well,I’m stardust poor,” wrote 1baby2cats. Tab_111 simply stated, “Stardust!” DarkDuo commented, “I already have the shiny version, so it’s time to collect some stardust,” and Neracca succinctly put it: “Useless Pokémon, but the stardust is really good.”
Gigantamax battles present a challenge,requiring coordinated efforts from trainers with strong Pokémon. Players looking for a full overview of December events can find more facts at https://mein-mmo.de/pokemon-go-events-im-dezember-2025/.
