In Pokémon Go, Stardust can be collected by capturing wild Pokémon and hatching Eggs. Unlike Candy, which is used to Power Up and Evolve a Pokémon specific to its evolution line, Stardust can be used to Power Up any captured Pokémon.
For example, if you have collected Stardust by capturing a Pikachu, you can use this Stardust to Power Up a captured Sandslash.
Powering Up a Pokémon with Stardust will increase its CP (Combat Points) and HP (Health Points), which will make that Pokémon stronger in Battle.
