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, Fuecoco will be appearing more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO blog. From our experience, Community Days typically see the featured Pokemon dominating 80-to-90% of spawns, making it an excellent chance to gather Candies for evolving and powering up Fuecoco's full evolution line for your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Absolutely, Fuecoco can be Shiny in Pokemon GO. During the Community Day, your chances of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco increase to 1 in 25, a significant jump from the usual 1 in 512 odds. While it's not a guaranteed catch, with enough persistence during the event, you're likely to encounter a Shiny Fuecoco.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and then Skeledirge, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies respectively. Both evolutions are already in the game, but the Community Day offers a unique chance to evolve a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day window (March 8 to a week after) will allow you to evolve it further into Skeledirge with the Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is not normally part of its moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack that boosts its Attack stat by one stage while dealing damage, available during and after the Community Day.
