The Fuecoco Community Day will kick off in Pokemon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this period, Fuecoco will be appearing more frequently in the wild, as highlighted in the official Pokemon GO blog. In our experience, Community Days feature the spotlight Pokemon in about 80-90% of spawns, making it an excellent time to gather Candies for evolving and powering up Fuecoco's full evolution line for your competitive roster.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, Fuecoco can indeed be Shiny in Pokemon GO, with a boosted Shiny rate of 1 in 25 during the Community Day, compared to the usual 1 in 512. This makes the event a prime opportunity to add the unique, alternative-colored variant to your collection. While it's not guaranteed with every encounter, dedicated players are likely to find a Shiny Fuecoco with enough persistence during the three-hour event.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and then into Skeledirge, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies respectively. Both evolutions are already in the game, but the Community Day offers a chance to obtain a Skeledirge with a special attack.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, or up to a week after, allows you to later evolve it into a Skeledirge that knows Blast Burn, a Charged Attack not typically available in its standard moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song during and after the Community Day, a Charged Attack that enhances its Attack stat by one stage while inflicting damage in Pokemon GO battles.

To maximize your experience during the Fuecoco Community Day, stock up on Pinap Berries. Each catch with a Pinap Berry will yield double the usual Fuecoco Candy, and with the event bonuses, you'll go from three to six Candies per catch, escalating to twelve with a Pinap Berry.
