Get ready, Trainers! The Fuecoco Community Day is approaching in *Pokemon GO*, offering you the chance to catch the Fire Croc Pokemon and perhaps snag a Shiny variant. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you make the most out 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 conclude at 5:00 PM. During these three hours, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO blog. This surge in spawns is your golden opportunity to gather plenty of Candies, enabling you to evolve and power up Fuecoco's entire evolutionary line for competitive play.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes, you can encounter Shiny Fuecoco during the Community Day, with the odds boosted to 1 in 25. Normally, the chance of finding a Shiny Pokemon is 1 in 512, so this event significantly increases your chances of adding a rare, alternative-colored Fuecoco to your collection. While it's not guaranteed, with enough encounters, you're likely to find a Shiny Fuecoco within the event's timeframe.
Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO
Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor with 25 Candies, and then into Skeledirge with 100 Candies. Both evolutions are already part of the game, but the Community Day event offers a unique chance to evolve your Fuecoco into a Skeledirge with an exclusive attack.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, and up to a week after, will allow your eventual Skeledirge to learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn. This move is not typically part of Skeledirge's moveset, making it a valuable asset.
Torch Song Update
Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack that increases its Attack stat by one stage while dealing damage, available during and after the Community Day.

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 will already yield double Candy, but using a Pinap Berry will increase this to 12 Candies per Fuecoco caught. If you're playing the full three hours, make sure to have Lure Modules and Incense ready. Utilizing these at PokeStops will boost Fuecoco spawns, enhancing your chances of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco.
