Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 8, 2025, as the Fuecoco Community Day kicks off in *Pokemon GO* from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During these three hours, expect a surge in Fuecoco spawns across the wild, as highlighted on the *Pokemon GO* blog. In our experience, Community Days typically see the featured Pokemon dominating 80-to-90% of spawns, making it an excellent time to farm Candies. This is your chance to catch, evolve, and power up Fuecoco's full evolution line, enhancing your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Absolutely, Fuecoco can appear in its Shiny form during the Community Day, with the odds significantly boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512. This makes Community Days the perfect occasion to add these unique variants to your collection. While a Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed with every catch, with enough persistence over the event's duration, you're likely to encounter one.

Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor with 25 Candies and further into Skeledirge with 100 Candies. Both evolutions are already in the game, but the Community Day presents a unique opportunity to get a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

Evolving a Fuecoco into Crocalor from the start of the Community Day on March 8 through the following week allows your eventual Skeledirge to learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is not typically part of its moveset.

Torch Song Update

Additionally, Skeledirge will have the chance to learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack that increases its Attack stat by one stage in battles while dealing damage, available during and after the Community Day.
