What are all the ways to get stardust in Pokémon Go?
Anytime I caught Pokemon, it gave me 100 stardust. As far as I know, this is a set number you get regardless of what is being caught. Also, I've yet to see another way to get stardust.
So, when I captured an Eevee today, I was confused by my stardust total.
Somehow I managed to get 5,256 stardust. Since I've only ever noticed stardust increment in 100s, I'm guessing I missed something. Are there other ways of getting stardust or am I wrong in thinking each successful capture always gives 100?

Hatching eggs provides you with stardust as well, and the amount isn't necessarily fixed. When you hatch your next egg, pay attention to the items you receive in the top-right. You'll get stardust and candy, and the stardust amount will likely be some amount that isn't a nice even number.

Some of the best ways to get stardust is to catch Pokémon that give an increased amount. For example, lookin at this site some of these Pokémon give extra stardust 500+ as opposed to the usual 100 for base Pokémon. Higher tier and weather boosted give more stardust as well.
