Same, instead of having a benchmark I choose to only power up when I get a decent reward for doing so. I usually throw away x10 energy tasks but when we were getting x70 it was well worth it especially as I waited for Absol energy to enter tasks. My favourite tasks are the x3,x5,x7 power up for a starter as I get a chance at a perfect and a good reason to power up.

12:50 Spending 5 million dust for 20 level 50 pokemon isn't that bad because by the time you will get the XLs to power up another pokemon of the same kind (like another Zekrom), you could easily get that 5 million dust back, given that we get 3X catch stardust community day once every season. However, I know this season's GBL stardust is just busted, for some reason the stardust gain for me personally isn't that high anymore and I am doing at least 3 sets a day (as always) ever since week 1 of the season. Also, I feel that it is a wrong analogy to say that spending stardust is the same as wasting it, instead you are actually investing in these pokemon. What is the point of having 100 million stardust and having your pokemon collection max at level 25? Isn't it better to have a team of 6 of all offensive types (for raids) at level 40 or 35 and then start saving the dust?

I totally disagree with your "save your stardust theory" it without a doubt holds you back as a trainer and serves absolutely no beneficial purpose. Don't waste dust powering useless pokemon, that's smart advice but your stardust bank is not an interest yielding account there's no 5% return on what you've saved annually. There is zero benefit in saving it, it makes you use weaker pokemon in raids and gym battles needlessly. My top 3 are a level 50 kyogre, level 50 dialga and level 50 garchomp, they were powered to level 50 the moment I had the candy XL to do so. By waiting until I was at some predetermined stardust level to power them up all I'd do is make me use weak pokemon for no reason other than I chose to save to a random level before hand.

I was over 2.5 million for a moment but during the cranidos raids I had to power up pokemon for a lot of the research, so I was powering up lucky and non lucky Deino's, which I was hesitant about initially but now Im glad because it's move makes it the highest non shadow, non mega dps for dark types. Unfortunately I already had a level 40 15/5/14 hydreigon beforehand so that cant get the move. Having restraint in this game is kinda hard when the community died during covid and theres nobody non remote to raid with.

Yes, you just send gifts to each other until you get the guaranteed lucky trade status. After you trade, it again becomes regular trades and you have to keep send each other gifts until you get the status again. If it is a regular pokemon that does not require special trade then you can simply trade back to back until you get a lucky. You need to really have a very bad luck if you don't get a single lucky from trading 40 of the same species back to back (13 % chance of this happening). The chance of not getting any lucky from 100 back to back trade is roughly 0.5%.

The time difference is not relevant, but a hole pokemon of difference mean more time in battle and reviving less, speccially if you try to solo or duo the hardest raids out there. Of course, the reward is not worth the abussive amount of resources that take to power up a lvl 50 pokemon for most players, but if you do, the difference is there!
