Stardust Challenge quest steps and rewards in Pokémon Go
Below you'll find all the requirements and rewards for the December Stardust Challenge in Pokémon Go.
This section does contain spoilers for the entire quest, so, if you want to be surprised, we recommend skipping.
As well as the below rewards for each of the 15 step, you'll also receive a small number of XP for each one completed.
At the end is the main reward, a Deino Hat Avatar item.
If you fail to complete the below steps by the end of the month, then it will be available to purchase from the in-game store.
If time is running out, our explainer on the best way to get more Stardust can help.
However, playing daily should net you enough Stardust to unlock the below - so play regularly and you should do it in plenty of time!

The Dual Destiny Season is here! It brings the Holiday Part 2 event with it. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
Stardust Challenge dates and bonuses in Pokémon Go
The Stardust Challenge will introduce a bonus throughout December 2021 - double Stardust for your first catch of the day.
This bonus - and the above quest steps and rewards - will run throughout December, ending on December 31st, 2021 at 11:59pm local time.
Then, in January and February, will be more Challenges - themed around gathering XP and catching Pokémon respectively. Unlike the December challenge, both of these require a pre-purchase of the Tour: Johto ticket to access.
Good luck completing this month's challenge!
