Everything else you need to know about Field Notes: Starly in Pokémon Go
Releasing as part of the July 2022 Community Day, Field Notes: Starly focused around the highlighted Pokémon Starly and requires you buy a ticket from the in-game store leading up to or during the event hours to participate. As mentioned when you purchase, the bonuses are only available on Community Day itself, so be sure to finish it on the day. After all, when’s the next time you’ll be able to catch 3 Starly to complete the steps involved? That said, you’ll likely get through the quest quickly, as each stage is pretty straightforward. One recommendation during the second and third steps is to transfer Pokémon other than Starly, then waiting for the next 2x Candy transfer Spotlight Hour to transfer your Starly catches. It’s always worth squeezing out every possible Candy! Besides that, other Community Day best practices apply; always use a Lure, and Incense any Stops you will spin regularly; use a Pinap Berry for each catch to double your Candy; and evolve a Staravia (the Evolution of Starly) into Staraptor during the event or up to two hours after its conclusion, that Staraptor will know the Fast Attack Gust, a flying-type attack that’s great for battling bug types. It’s also recommended to apply Lucky Eggs to make use of the 3x Catch XP bonus, too. July Community Day will also feature additional bonuses. Incense and Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours, you’ll earn twice as much Candy for catching Pokémon, and you’ll have double the chance of getting Starly Candy XL when you catch Starly. Plus, Pokémon trades between friends will require only half the regular amount of Stardust. You’ll even be able to make an additional Special Trade between July 17, 2022, at 11am - 7pm. Also, pace yourself throughout the day. Though it’s an excellent opportunity to get a lot of Starly, including many shiny versions, by evolving before 7pm local time, you may find after an hour or two’s play you’ll have more than enough to fully evolve and power up a high IV catch to use in battle. So take care over the six hours, take regular rest, and hydrate!
