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 this three-hour window, Fuecoco will be appearing more frequently in the wild, offering a prime opportunity to gather Candies for evolving and powering up its entire evolutionary line. Based on past Community Days, Fuecoco is expected to dominate spawns, potentially occupying 80-90% of them, which is ideal for amassing resources to enhance your competitive team.

Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, you can encounter a Shiny Fuecoco during the Community Day. The odds are significantly improved to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512 for regular encounters. This heightened chance makes Community Days the perfect occasion to expand your collection with these rare, color-altered variants. While not guaranteed with every encounter, persistent play during the event will likely lead you to a Shiny Fuecoco.

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 *Pokemon GO*, but the Community Day provides a unique chance to obtain a Skeledirge with an exclusive move.

Skeledirge Featured Attack

If you evolve Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day or up to a week after, your subsequent evolution into Skeledirge will learn the Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is typically not 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 its Attack stat by one stage in battles, making it a valuable asset.
