Get ready, Trainers! The Fuecoco Community Day is set to heat up *Pokemon GO* with an exciting event featuring the Fire Croc Pokemon. Mark your calendars for the chance to catch Fuecoco and, if you're lucky, snag a Shiny one too. Here's everything you need to know about this fiery event.

Pokemon GO Fuecoco Community Day Date & Time

The Fuecoco Community Day will ignite Pokemon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During these three hours, Fuecoco will be appearing more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO event blog. From our experience with past Community Days, the featured Pokemon typically dominates 80-90% of spawns, making it an ideal time to gather Candies for evolving and powering up Fuecoco's full evolutionary line for your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Absolutely, Fuecoco can be Shiny in Pokemon GO, and the odds of encountering a Shiny during the Community Day event are significantly improved at 1 in 25. Typically, the odds of finding a Shiny in Pokemon GO are 1 in 512, so Community Days are your best shot at adding these unique variants to your collection. While it's not a sure thing for every encounter, with enough persistence during the event, many Trainers should walk away with a Shiny Fuecoco.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into not one, but two Pokemon in Pokemon GO: Crocalor and Skeledirge, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies respectively. Both evolutions are already available, but the Community Day offers a special opportunity to obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolve Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Pokemon GO Community Day on March 8 or within the following week, and your Skeledirge will learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn, a move not normally part of its standard moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, during and after the Community Day, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack that not only deals damage but also boosts its Attack stat by one stage in Pokemon GO battles.

Tips for the Fuecoco Community Day in Pokemon Go

To maximize your experience during the Fuecoco Community Day, stock up on Pinap Berries. With the event's bonus, you'll receive six Fuecoco Candies per catch, and using a Pinap Berry will double that to 12 Candies per encounter.

If you're planning to play the entire three hours, don't forget to bring Lure Modules and Incense. These will help you generate more Fuecoco spawns, thereby increasing your chances of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco through additional attempts.
