The Fuecoco Community Day will take place in Pokemon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During these three hours, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, as confirmed by the Pokemon GO event blog. From our experience with previous Community Days, you can expect Fuecoco to dominate around 80-90% of the wild spawns, making it an ideal time to collect Candies for evolving and powering up its evolutions for your competitive lineup.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Absolutely, Fuecoco can indeed appear in its Shiny form during the Community Day. The odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco are significantly boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 chance in regular encounters. This increased probability makes Community Days the prime time to add a Shiny Fuecoco to your collection. With enough persistence, you're likely to encounter a Shiny within the event's timeframe.
Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and then Skeledirge, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies respectively. Both evolutions are already part of the game, but the Community Day offers a special chance to obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
Evolving a Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day window, from March 8 until a week later, will result in a Skeledirge that knows the Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is not normally part of its standard moveset.
Torch Song Update
Additionally, Skeledirge will have the opportunity to learn Torch Song, a valuable Charged Attack that enhances its Attack stat by one stage while inflicting damage during Pokemon GO battles.

During the Fuecoco Community Day and until 10:00 PM on March 8, players can enjoy the following bonuses:

To maximize your experience during the Fuecoco Community Day, ensure you have a stockpile of Pinap Berries. Using a Pinap Berry with each catch will double your Fuecoco Candy, and with the event's double Candy bonus, you'll be earning 12 Candies per catch. If you plan on participating for the full duration, equip yourself with Lure Modules and Incense. These items will help generate more Fuecoco spawns around PokeStops, thereby increasing your chances of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco.
