Pokémon GO's March 2025 Community Day Lineup and Beloved Buddies Event Details

March's Pokémon GO Community Day extravaganza kicks off with Fuecoco, the fiery croc Pokémon! This article covers the March Community Day events, future Community Day dates, and the rewards up for grabs in the Beloved Buddies event.

Fuecoco's Fiery Community Day Debut

Fuecoco takes center stage on March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm (local time). Expect increased Fuecoco spawns and boosted shiny rates! Evolving your Fuecoco to Skeledirge (via Crocalor) within a week of the event unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn. Skeledirge can also learn Torch Song, anytime.

A special Timed Research event runs until March 15th, 10:00 pm (local time), offering a Fuecoco encounter with a seasonal special background and further increased shiny odds. A separate Community Day Special Research ticket ($2.00) provides three Fuecoco encounters (with seasonal backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. This ticket is giftable to Great Friends or higher.
