The Fuecoco Community Day in Pokemon GO is scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this three-hour window, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, according to the Pokemon GO blog. From past experiences, we know that the featured Pokemon typically dominate 80-to-90% of spawns during Community Days, making it an excellent chance to gather Candies for evolving and powering up Fuecoco's entire evolutionary line to bolster your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, Fuecoco can indeed be Shiny in Pokemon GO. During the Community Day, the odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco are significantly boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 for regular encounters. This increased chance makes Community Days the prime time for adding rare, alternative-colored Pokemon to your collection. With persistence, Pokemon GO players are likely to encounter a Shiny Fuecoco within the event's three-hour duration.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco has two evolutions in Pokemon GO: Crocalor, which requires 25 Fuecoco Candies to evolve, and Skeledirge, which requires an additional 100 Fuecoco Candies. Both evolutions are already part of the game, but the Community Day offers a special opportunity to obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive attack.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

If you evolve Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, and up to a week afterward, the resulting Skeledirge will learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn—a move not typically available in its standard moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, during and after the Community Day, Skeledirge will be able to learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack that enhances its Attack stat by one stage in battles while dealing damage.
