Recommended Videos: Pokémon GO Fuecoco Community Day Date & Time
Mark your calendars! The Fuecoco Community Day event kicks off in Pokémon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this time, Fuecoco will appear much more frequently in the wild, as announced on the official Pokémon GO blog.
Based on past Community Day events, expect Fuecoco to dominate spawns (80-90%) for those three hours. This is an ideal opportunity to stockpile Candy, allowing you to evolve and power up your very own Skeledirge and bolster your competitive Pokémon roster.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Yes! Shiny Fuecoco is a possibility during this Community Day, with boosted odds of 1 in 25. Compare this to the standard Shiny rate of 1 in 512, and you'll see why Community Day is the best way to add this vibrant variant to your collection. While not guaranteed, with enough effort during the three-hour event window, you'll significantly increase your chances of finding a Shiny Fuecoco.
Fuecoco's Evolutions in Pokémon GO
Fuecoco evolves in two stages: into Crocalor (25 Fuecoco Candies) and then Skeledirge (100 Fuecoco Candies). While both evolutions are already in the game, this Community Day offers a special bonus.
Skeledirge's Exclusive Attack
Evolve your Fuecoco to Crocalor between the start of the Community Day on March 8th and the following week, and your resulting Skeledirge will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn—a move not normally available in its moveset.
Torch Song Update
Skeledirge will also learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack that boosts its Attack stat by one stage during Pokémon GO battles while simultaneously dealing damage. This move will also be available beyond the Community Day period.

Tips for the Fuecoco Community Day in Pokémon GO
To maximize your Fuecoco Community Day experience, prepare beforehand! Stock up on Pinap Berries to double your Candy gain from each catch. Remember, the event already doubles your Candy, so a Pinap Berry will yield 12 Candy per catch instead of 3!
For optimal results, use Lure Modules at PokéStops and Incense throughout the three-hour event window to increase Fuecoco spawns and boost your Shiny hunting chances.
