Get ready, Pokémon GO Trainers! Fuecoco Community Day is arriving, bringing with it a fantastic opportunity to catch the fiery Fire Croc Pokémon, and maybe even snag a Shiny one. Here's your complete guide to maximizing your experience.
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 window, Fuecoco will be appearing much more frequently in the wild. Based on past Community Days, expect Fuecoco to dominate spawns (80-90%), making it ideal for farming Candy to evolve and power up your very own Skeledirge.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Yes! Shiny Fuecoco will be available during the event, with boosted odds of 1 in 25. Compare that to the usual 1 in 512 chance for regular encounters—this is your best shot at adding a Shiny Fuecoco to your collection. While not guaranteed, persistent players should have a good chance of finding one within the three-hour timeframe.
Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokémon GO
Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor (25 Candies) and then Skeledirge (100 Candies). While both evolutions are already in the game, this Community Day offers a special bonus:
Skeledirge's Exclusive Attack
Evolving Fuecoco to Crocalor between the start of the Community Day (March 8th) and the following week will grant your Skeledirge the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn—a move not normally available.
Torch Song Update
Skeledirge will also learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack that boosts its Attack stat by one stage during battles, while still dealing damage.
Community Day Event Bonuses
From the start of the Fuecoco Community Day until 10:00 PM on March 8th, enjoy these fantastic bonuses:
- 300% Stardust for catching Pokémon
- Double Catch Candy
- Double chance for Trainers (Level 31+) to get XL Candy
- 3-hour Lure Modules (instead of 30 minutes)
