The Fuecoco Community Day is scheduled to launch in Pokemon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this three-hour window, expect to see Fuecoco appearing more frequently in the wild, as highlighted in the Pokemon GO event announcement. Historically, Community Days have seen the featured Pokemon dominating spawn rates, typically accounting for 80-90% of all encounters, making it an ideal opportunity to collect ample Candies for evolving and strengthening your Pokemon.

Absolutely, Fuecoco has a Shiny form available in Pokemon GO. During the Community Day, the odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco are significantly boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the standard 1 in 512. While not guaranteed, these improved odds mean dedicated Trainers have a great chance of adding a Shiny Fuecoco to their collection within the event's duration.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves twice in Pokemon GO—first into Crocalor with 25 Candies, and then into Skeledirge with 100 Candies. The Community Day event is your chance to evolve a Fuecoco into Skeledirge with an exclusive attack.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

By evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day period and up to a week afterward, you can obtain a Skeledirge that knows Blast Burn, a Charged Attack not typically available in its regular moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, Skeledirge will have access to Torch Song, a Charged Attack that enhances its Attack stat while inflicting damage, available from the Community Day onward.
