Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 8, 2025. The Fuecoco Community Day will blaze into Pokemon GO from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this window, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO blog. From our experience, these Community Days typically feature the spotlight Pokemon in about 80-90% of spawns, making it an excellent opportunity to gather Candies for evolving and powering up Fuecoco's full evolution line for competitive battles.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, Fuecoco can indeed be Shiny in Pokemon GO. During the Community Day, your chances of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco increase dramatically to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512. While a Shiny isn't guaranteed with every encounter, the enhanced odds mean you're likely to find one with enough persistence during the three-hour event.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor with 25 Candies and further into Skeledirge with 100 Candies. Both evolutions are already part of the game, but the Community Day offers a special chance to obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

By evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, or within a week afterward, your Skeledirge will learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn — a powerful move not typically available in its moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song during and after the Community Day, enhancing its battle prowess by boosting its Attack stat while dealing damage.

To maximize your gains during the Fuecoco Community Day, stock up on Pinap Berries. With the event's double Candy bonus, each catch will yield six Candies, but using a Pinap Berry will double that to 12 Candies per Fuecoco.

If you're planning to play the full duration, make sure to have Lure Modules and Incense ready. Deploying these at PokeStops will significantly increase Fuecoco spawns, enhancing your chances of catching a Shiny.
