The Fuecoco Community Day event kicks off on Saturday, March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During this window, Fuecoco will appear 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 Fuecoco line.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

Yes! Shiny Fuecoco will be available, with boosted odds of 1 in 25 during the event. This is a significant increase from the standard 1 in 512, making Community Day your best bet for adding this Shiny variant 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 your Fuecoco to Crocalor between the start of Community Day (March 8th) and the following week will grant your resulting Skeledirge the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn—an attack 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 battles, adding further strategic depth.
