Niantic has confirmed that the Starling Pokémon, Starly will be the featured Pokémon for July 2022's Pokémon GO Community Day. During this event, Starly will be appearing more frequently in the wild, and its Shiny variant will be available as well. The event will be held on July 17th, from 11:00am to 2:00pm local time.

Staravia that are evolved into Staraptor during the event, or within five hours after it concludes, will learn the Fast Attack Gust. This move has 16 power in Trainer Battles, and 25 power in Gyms, and in raids.

A Community Day-exclusive Special Research story, Field Notes: Starly, will be available for purchase at US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in each local currency). This Special Research can also be gifted to a friend.

The following event bonuses will also be active throughout the event:
  • 3× Catch XP
  • 2× Candy for catching Pokémon
  • 2× chance to receive Starly Candy XL from catching Starly
  • Incense and Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours
  • Players can take a few snapshots during Community Day for a surprise
  • 1 additional special trade can be made during the event and up to five hours afterward for a maximum of three for the day
  • Trades made during the event and up to five hours afterward will require 50% less Stardust.
  • Players can get event-themed stickers by spinning PokéStops, opening Gifts, and purchasing them from the in-game shop
  • Bonuses for groups: If enough Pokémon are caught with help from a single Lure Module, the 3× XP bonus for catching Pokémon near the Lured PokéStop will be increased to a 4× bonus XP for 30 minutes.
From 2:00pm to 7:00pm local time, unique Four-Star Raids will take place. When Trainers defeat the Staravia Raid Boss, Starly will appear in a 300-meter radius around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. These Raids can only be accessed with Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used. The same Shiny odds as the 3-hour event will apply.
