Maxing a 'nundo' requires patience

The article focuses on how to “max a nundo” in Pokémon Go, but frames it as a patience-driven, resource-intensive choice. Stardust is the key constraint: powering a normal Pokémon from level 1 to 50 requires about 500,000 stardust, while lucky Pokémon get a 50% discount, roughly halving that to 250,000. A nundo is defined as a Pokémon with 0 IVs in attack, defense, and HP, rarer than a hundo because it can only be caught in the wild without a weather boost. The writer says maxing one is more of a flex than a practical move unless you have millions of stardust. They also recommend preparing for future mechanics using tags, smartphone text shortcuts, the buddy system, and tactics to earn extra buddy hearts without buying a poffin.
