Pokemon GO March 2025 Community Days Details Revealed
Fuecoco Takes the Spotlight in March's First Community Day
Get ready for an exciting start to March with Fuecoco, the Fire Croc Pokémon, headlining the first Community Day on March 8, 2025. From 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm (local time), Fuecoco will be more common on the map, and the chance of encountering its Shiny form will be significantly higher.
Evolving Fuecoco into Skeledirge (through Crocalor) during the event or up to a week afterward will allow it to learn the powerful Charged Attack Blast Burn. Additionally, Skeledirge can learn the Charged Attack Torch Song at any time, offering versatile battle strategies.
Participate in the Special Background Timed Research to encounter Fuecoco with a Seasonal Special Background. Completing these tasks not only boosts your chances of finding a Shiny Fuecoco but must be finished by March 15, 2025, at 10:00 pm (local time).
For just $2.00, trainers can unlock the exclusive Community Day Special Research, featuring three Fuecoco encounters with a Seasonal Special Background, along with the usual rewards like Battle Passes and Rare Candies. This ticket can also be gifted to a friend at the Great Friends level or above.
