Powering up anything, before at least level 27-30 is completely useless and waste of precious stardust
you might waste an ammount X of stardust on a pokemon, only to find him in the wild, a couple of levels later on with a higher CP than the one you spent Stardust on.
You will need stardust in the BULK in the end-game.
So what you do for now? you evolve all the low-end low-candy pokemons, and use them as power-leveling tools. that's it. before level 27-30, the game is practically a grinding game.
Around 27-30, the CP of the wild pokemon found will plateau, and it is then that would will need Stardust. and the higher the CP, the more stardust u'll need to power up.
