Pokémon GO's March 2025 Community Day Lineup and Beloved Buddies Event Details
Fuecoco Ignites March's Community Day

Get ready for fiery fun! Pokémon GO's March Community Day kicks off on March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time) featuring Fuecoco, the Fire Croc Pokémon. Expect increased Fuecoco spawns and boosted Shiny rates.

Evolving your Fuecoco to Skeledirge (via Crocalor) within one week of the event unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn. Skeledirge can also learn Torch Song, anytime after evolution.
A special Timed Research event runs concurrently, offering a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further enhanced Shiny odds. Complete the tasks by March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 PM (local time).

For $2.00, a Community Day Special Research ticket grants three Fuecoco encounters (all with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), along with Battle Passes and Rare Candies. This ticket is giftable to Great Friends or higher.
