Community Days are some of the most popular events in Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go July Community Day date & time

Niantic has confirmed that the next Pokemon Go Community Day will take place on Sunday, July 17, 2022, between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM in each trainer’s local time.

This continues the pattern of reduced event hours, as Community Days used to last for six hours.

Pokemon Go July Community Day headliner

The headliner for the July 2022 Community Day is Starly, also known as the Starling Pokemon.

Not only is Starly’s final evolution Staraptor a very powerful attacker in Raid Battles, but if you’re lucky, you might also encounter a Shiny one!

Pokemon Go Starly Community Day exclusive moves

Players who evolve a Staravia during event hours (or up to two hours after) will get a Staraptor that knows the Flying-type Fast Attack: Gust!

Pokemon Go Starly Community Day bonuses

The following bonuses will be in effect during July Community Day event hours:

• 2x XP when catching Pokemon.
• 2x Candy when catching Pokemon.
• 2x Chance to receive Starly XL Candy from catching Starly.
• Lure Modules and Incense activated during the event will last for three hours.
• Take a few snapshots during Community Day for a surprise!
• Trades made during and five hours after the event will require 50% less stardust.
• One additional special trade can be made during the event.

Event-themed Stickers featuring Starly can also be obtained by spinning PokeStops, opening Gifts, and purchasing them from the in-game shop.

Staravia appears in 4-Star Raids after Community Day ends

While the Starly Community Day ends at 2 PM, trainers will be able to enjoy 4-Star Raids with Staravia until 7 PM. Once defeated, Starly will spawn within a 300-meter radius of the Gym for 30 minutes.

Be aware that these bonus 4-Star Raid Battles cannot be accessed with Remote Raid Passes.

Niantic / The Pokemon Company

Go players will need a lot of Pokeballs to catch plenty of Starly.

How to prepare for Pokemon Go Starly Community Day

If you’re going to take part in a Community Day, there are a few things you can do to prepare and get the most out of the event:

• Purchase an Incense to use on the day as they will last longer than usual.
• Save any Lure Modules you have as they will last for three hours during the event.
• Stock up on lots of Ultra Balls so you can catch plenty of the headline Pokemon.
• Transfer any unwanted Pokemon so you’ll have space for all the catching you’ll do.
• Check the bonuses that run during the event so you can take advantage of them.

There will also be a ticket for the July Community Day Special Research story, Field Notes: Starly, available to purchase from the in-game Shop closer to the event date.

List of all previous Pokemon Go Community Day headliners

Here are all of the past Pokemon Go Community Day headliners, as well as the exclusive moves they could learn when evolved:

You may notice that every December headliner is missing from this list. That’s because, in December, Niantic usually features every Pokemon from the past year at the same time.

Alongside all of these Community Days, there was a special Community Day Classic in April 2022 which featured Mudkip. It’s unknown if there will be more of these in the future.
