Fuecoco Takes Spotlight for March Pokemon GO Community Day

Pokémon GO's March 2025 Community Day extravaganza begins with Fuecoco, the fiery croc Pokémon! This comprehensive guide covers the event details, future Community Day dates, and the exciting rewards from the Beloved Buddies event.

March Community Day: Fuecoco Takes Center Stage

Fuecoco ignites the March 8th Community Day from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm (local time). Expect increased Fuecoco spawns and boosted Shiny rates! Evolving your Fuecoco to Skeledirge (via Crocalor) unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn, but only within a week of the event. Skeledirge also learns Torch Song without time constraints.

A special Timed Research offers a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further boosts Shiny odds! Complete the tasks by March 15th, 10:00 pm (local time). For $2.00, a Community Day Special Research provides three Fuecoco encounters (also with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. This ticket is giftable to Great Friends or higher.
