Author:Kristen Update:Apr 12,2025

Get ready, Trainers! The Fuecoco Community Day is set to ignite *Pokemon GO* with excitement. On this special day, you'll have the chance to catch the fiery Fuecoco and even snag a Shiny one. Here's a detailed guide on what to expect and how to make the most out of this event.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 8, 2025. The Fuecoco Community Day will kick off at 2:00 PM and run until 5:00 PM. During these three hours, Fuecoco will be appearing more frequently in the wild, making it the perfect opportunity to gather as many as you can, according to the Pokemon GO blog.

From our experience with previous Community Days, the featured Pokemon typically accounts for 80-to-90% of the spawns, making it an ideal time to farm Candies. This will help you catch, evolve, and power up Fuecoco's full evolutionary line, adding a strong contender to your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Absolutely, Fuecoco can be Shiny in Pokemon GO. The odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco during the Community Day are boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 for regular encounters. This makes Community Days the prime time to hunt for these rare, alternative-colored variants.

While there's no guarantee of finding a Shiny Fuecoco with every encounter, the increased odds mean that with persistence, you're likely to encounter one during the event's three-hour window.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and then into 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 obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

If you evolve Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8 or within the following week, the resulting Skeledirge will learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn. This powerful move is not normally part of Skeledirge's moveset, making it a valuable asset in battles.

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, enhancing its performance in Pokemon GO battles.
