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 these three hours, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO blog. From our experience with past Community Days, the featured Pokemon typically accounts for 80-to-90% of spawns, making it an excellent time to farm Candies for evolving and powering up Fuecoco's full evolution line to enhance your competitive team.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Absolutely, Fuecoco can indeed be Shiny in Pokemon GO. The odds of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco during the Community Day are boosted to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 for regular encounters. This makes Community Days the prime time for adding rare, alternate-colored Pokemon to your collection. While not every encounter guarantees a Shiny, with enough persistence during the event, you're likely to encounter one.
Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor with 25 Candies and then into Skeledirge with 100 Candies. Both evolutions are already in Pokemon GO, but the Community Day offers a unique chance to get a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
By evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8 or up to a week after, you can evolve it further into a Skeledirge that knows the exclusive Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which isn't typically part of its moveset.
Torch Song Update
Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song during and after the Community Day. This Charged Attack not only deals damage but also boosts Skeledirge's Attack stat by one stage in Pokemon GO battles.
