The Fuecoco Community Day is set to kick off in Pokemon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this period, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, making it the perfect time to catch this fiery critter. According to the Pokemon GO blog, Fuecoco is expected to dominate the spawns, accounting for 80-to-90% of encounters. This makes it an ideal opportunity to gather Candies to evolve and power up Fuecoco’s entire evolutionary line, enhancing your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, Fuecoco can indeed appear as a Shiny in Pokemon GO. The odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco during the Community Day are significantly boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 for regular encounters. This increased probability makes Community Days the prime time to hunt for these rare, alternative-colored versions. While it's not guaranteed, dedicated players are likely to encounter a Shiny Fuecoco with enough persistence during the three-hour event.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into two forms in Pokemon GO: Crocalor, requiring 25 Fuecoco Candies, and Skeledirge, which needs 100 Fuecoco Candies. Both evolutions are already in the game, but the Community Day is your chance to get a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, or within a week afterward, allows you to obtain a Skeledirge that knows the Charged Attack Blast Burn, a move not typically available in its standard moveset.

Torch Song Update

Skeledirge can also 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, making it a valuable addition to your battle strategy.
