The Fuecoco Community Day is scheduled to kick off 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. Based on our experience with previous Community Days, Fuecoco will dominate 80-90% of the spawns, making it an excellent opportunity to amass Candies for evolving and powering up its full evolution line for your competitive team.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, you can encounter a Shiny Fuecoco in Pokemon GO. During the Community Day, the odds of finding a Shiny Fuecoco are significantly boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the standard 1 in 512. Although not guaranteed with every encounter, dedicated Trainers are likely to find a Shiny Fuecoco within the event's three-hour duration.
Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and subsequently into Skeledirge, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies, respectively. Both evolutions are already in the game, but the Community Day offers a chance to obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
By evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, and up to a week later, you can evolve it further into a Skeledirge that learns the exclusive Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is not typically available in its moveset.
Torch Song Update
Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song during and after the Community Day. This Charged Attack not only inflicts damage but also enhances Skeledirge’s Attack stat by one stage in Pokemon GO battles.
