The Fuecoco Community Day event is set to launch in Pokemon GO on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During this window, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, as highlighted on the Pokemon GO blog. Based on past Community Days, Fuecoco is expected to dominate 80-90% of the spawns, making it an ideal time to farm Candies for evolving and powering up its full evolutionary line to enhance your competitive roster.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, Fuecoco has the potential to be Shiny in Pokemon GO, with the odds significantly improved to 1 in 25 during the Community Day, compared to the usual 1 in 512. While not every encounter guarantees a Shiny, the increased odds during the event mean that with persistence, you're likely to encounter a Shiny Fuecoco within the three-hour period.
Fuecoco’s Evolutions in Pokemon GO

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and then Skeledirge, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies, respectively. Both evolutions are already accessible in the game, but the Community Day provides a unique opportunity to evolve Skeledirge with an exclusive attack.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day on March 8, and up to a week afterward, allows you to obtain a Skeledirge that knows the 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, a Charged Attack that not only deals damage but also boosts its Attack stat by one stage in Pokemon GO battles.
