The Fuecoco Community Day is set to launch in Pokemon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During this three-hour window, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO blog. From our experience, Community Days typically see the featured Pokemon dominating 80-90% 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?

Yes, Fuecoco can indeed be Shiny in Pokemon GO. During the Community Day, the odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco are boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 for regular encounters. This significant increase makes Community Days the perfect time to hunt for these rare, alternative-colored variants. While not guaranteed, 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 obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive attack.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, or within a week afterward, allows 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 during and after the Community Day, a Charged Attack that not only deals damage but also boosts its Attack stat by one stage in Pokemon GO battles.
