The Fuecoco Community Day is scheduled for 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 confirmed by the Pokemon GO blog. Based on past Community Days, Fuecoco is expected to dominate around 80-90% of the spawns, making it an ideal time to collect Candies, evolve, and strengthen your Pokemon for competitive battles.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, you can encounter a Shiny Fuecoco in Pokemon GO. During Community Days, the odds of finding a Shiny version increase significantly to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512. While it's not guaranteed with every encounter, the heightened probability during the event's three hours means you're likely to find one if you keep trying.
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 event offers a unique chance to evolve a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
If you evolve a Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, or within the following week, your resulting Skeledirge will learn 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. This Charged Attack not only inflicts damage but also boosts Skeledirge's Attack stat by one stage in Pokemon GO battles.

To maximize your experience during the Fuecoco Community Day, stock up on Pinap Berries. With the event bonuses, you'll receive six Candies per catch, but using a Pinap Berry will double this to 12 Candies per Fuecoco.
