Fuecoco Community Day Guide & Tips for Pokemon GO (March 2025)

Get ready, Trainers! The Fuecoco Community Day is set to ignite *Pokemon GO* with excitement. This event is your chance to catch the Fire Croc Pokemon, Fuecoco, and possibly snag a Shiny version. Here's all the essential info you need to make the most of this upcoming event in *Pokemon GO*.

Pokemon GO Fuecoco Community Day Date & Time

Mark your calendars for the Fuecoco Community Day, which will take place on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this three-hour window, Fuecoco will be appearing more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO blog. From our experience, during Community Days, the spotlighted Pokemon typically accounts for 80-to-90% of wild spawns, providing an excellent opportunity to gather Candies to catch, evolve, and strengthen Fuecoco and its evolutions for your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Absolutely, Fuecoco can indeed be Shiny in Pokemon GO. During Community Days, the odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco increase dramatically to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 for regular encounters. While not guaranteed, these boosted odds mean that with persistence, you're likely to find a Shiny Fuecoco within the event's three-hour duration.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into two forms in Pokemon GO: Crocalor and Skeledirge, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies, respectively. Both evolutions are already part of the game, but the Community Day offers a unique chance to evolve a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, or up to a week later, allows you to evolve it further into Skeledirge with the Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is typically not available in its standard moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, Skeledirge can 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 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 bonuses doubling catch Candy from three to six, using a Pinap Berry on each encounter will yield 12 Fuecoco Candies per catch, significantly accelerating your progress.

If you're planning to play the entire three hours, make sure to bring Lure Modules and Incense. Utilizing these at PokeStops will increase Fuecoco spawns, thereby enhancing your chances of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco through more encounters.
