Players can collect extra Pokemon Candy for a limited time.
The next Pokemon Go Spotlight Hour event will take place on July 20, 2022 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
During this event, Staryu will appear more frequently than normal in the wild, and players will receive two times the normal number of Pokemon Candy when transferring Pokemon to Professor Willow.
Staryu is a Water-type Pokemon from the first generation of the Pokemon universe. In Pokemon Go, you can evolve Staryu into Starmie using 50 Staryu Candy.
Shiny Staryu is available in Pokemon Go. Shiny Staryu is green, rather than orange.
To make the most of this week’s Spotlight Hour event, remember that you can activate an Incense to attract wild Pokemon to your location for a limited time. This will give you more Staryu to encounter and more chances to potentially find a Shiny one.
Following this week’s event, there’s still one more Spotlight Hour event scheduled to take place in July 2022. During the Spotlight Hour event on July 26, Meditite will appear more frequently than normal in the wild, and players will receive two times the normal number of experience points when evolving Pokemon.
