The Fuecoco Community Day in Pokemon GO is scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During these three hours, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, as detailed on the Pokemon GO event blog. Historically, during Community Days, the featured Pokemon dominates the spawn rate, typically occupying 80-90% of encounters. This makes it an excellent opportunity to collect enough Candies to evolve and strengthen Fuecoco and its evolutions for competitive play.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, you can encounter a Shiny Fuecoco in Pokemon GO. The odds of encountering a Shiny during a Community Day are significantly boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512. While there's no guarantee of encountering a Shiny with each encounter, the increased spawn rate and better odds make Community Days the prime time for adding rare, colorful variants to your collection. With persistence, you're likely to find one within the event's three-hour window.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and then Skeledirge in Pokemon GO, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies, respectively. Both evolutions are already part of the game, but the Community Day offers a special incentive: evolve Fuecoco into Crocalor during the event window (and up to a week after) to obtain a Skeledirge with the exclusive Charged Attack, Blast Burn, not normally part of its moveset.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolving a Fuecoco into Crocalor between the start of the Community Day on March 8 and a week afterward will grant you a Skeledirge that knows Blast Burn, enhancing its battling capabilities.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, Skeledirge will learn Torch Song during and after the Community Day. This Charged Attack not only deals damage but also boosts Skeledirge's Attack stat by one stage, making it a valuable asset in battles.

To maximize your gains during the Fuecoco Community Day, stock up on Pinap Berries. Each catch with a Pinap Berry will yield double the usual amount of Candy, and with the event's double Candy bonus, you'll get 12 Fuecoco Candies per catch.
