As part of the "Flying Taxi" event, Squawkabilly has made its Pokémon Go debut. During the event, you can nab this stylish bird the following ways:

  • Find Squawkabilly in the wild.
  • Complete Field Research Tasks to unlock encounters with yellow, blue, or green Squawkabilly.
  • Reach level 60 in the Go Pass: Flying Taxi to get a white Squawkabilly. If you buy the upgraded version of the pass, you'll get an additional white Squawkabilly encounter.

Note that while the white and yellow versions of Squawkabilly can be found globally, the blue and green versions are regional forms. Blue Squawkabilly can only be found in the Western Hemisphere and Green Squawkabilly can only be found in the Eastern Hemisphere.

This event features a Go Pass with 60 ranks.

There are two milestone perks to unlock as well:
