Elgyem unfortunately does not fall under the category of rare Pokemon that give extra Stardust on catch. Each successful catch will reward you with 100 Stardust. However, with the 2x Stardust bonus during the Spotlight Hour, you can earn the following amounts of Stardust:
– Regular catch: 200 Stardust
– Weather boosted catch: 250 Stardust
– Regular catch with Star Piece: 300 Stardust
– Weather boosted catch with Star Piece: 450 Stardust

To maximize your Stardust earnings, consider using Great Balls to ensure a successful catch and utilize quick catch techniques. It is recommended to aim for catching around 60 Pokemon during the Spotlight Hour to optimize your Stardust gains.
