The original Community Day featuring this critter was held on April 13, 2019. Bagon evolves into Shelgon with 25 Candy, which in turn evolves into Salamence on being fed 100 Candy. Evolving Shelgon during this event will give you a Salamence that knows the Charged Attack Outrage.

Is Outrage Salamence worth it in Pokemon GO?
Outrage Salamence in Pokemon GO PvP
In PvP scenarios, Outrage is a 110 base power move that consumes 60 energy. When used by Salamence, it hits extremely hard, but unfortunately, the lack of bulk doesn't allow Hoenn region's pseudo legendary dragon to get much value out of it.
Salamance, with or without its Pokemon GO Bagon Community Day Classic move, is not a viable GO Battle League pick. According to PvPoke, it is ranked 800 in the Great League, 613 in the Ultra League, and 173 in the Master League.
Outrage Salamence in Pokemon GO PvE
In raids and Gym battles, Outrage is a 110 base power move that consumes 50 energy. It has an animation duration of 3.9 seconds and a damage window of 2.5-3.7 seconds.
Unlike PvP, where Salamence does not do well, in PvE it shines. Mega Salamence is the third-best Dragon-type attacker in the game, closely followed by Shadow Salamence.
