Get ready, Trainers! The *Pokemon GO* Fuecoco Community Day is on the horizon, offering you the chance to catch the Fire Croc Pokemon and even snag a Shiny version. Here’s your comprehensive guide to making the most of this exciting event.
Pokemon GO Fuecoco Community Day Date & Time
Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 8, 2025. The Fuecoco Community Day will kick off at 2:00 PM and wrap up at 5:00 PM. During these three hours, expect to see Fuecoco appearing more frequently in the wild, as highlighted in the Pokemon GO event blog. From our experience with past Community Days, the featured Pokemon usually dominates 80-to-90% of spawns, making it an ideal time to gather Candies and evolve your Fuecoco into its full evolutionary line for competitive play.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes, indeed! Fuecoco can appear in its Shiny form during the Community Day, with the odds significantly improved to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512. This makes the Community Day a prime opportunity to add a colorful variant to your collection. While it's not a guaranteed catch every time, with persistence throughout the event, you're likely to encounter a Shiny Fuecoco.
Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO
Fuecoco evolves twice in Pokemon GO: first into Crocalor at 25 Candies, and then into Skeledirge at 100 Candies. The Community Day event offers a unique chance to evolve your Fuecoco into a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day window (from March 8 to a week after) allows you to further evolve it into Skeledirge, which will learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn. This powerful move isn't typically available in Skeledirge's standard moveset.
Torch Song Update
Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song during and after the Community Day, a Charged Attack that not only deals damage but also boosts its Attack stat by one stage in battles.

Tips for the Fuecoco Community Day in Pokemon Go
To maximize your experience during the Fuecoco Community Day, stock up on Pinap Berries. Each catch with a Pinap Berry will yield double the Candy, and with the event bonuses, you can get up to 12 Fuecoco Candies per catch.
