The Fuecoco Community Day will take place 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 confirmed by the Pokemon GO blog. From past experiences with Community Days, you can expect Fuecoco to dominate around 80-90% of the spawns, making it an excellent opportunity to farm Candies, evolve, and power up your Fuecoco into a formidable competitor in your Pokedex.
Can Fuecoco Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

Yes, you can catch a Shiny Fuecoco during the Community Day. The odds of encountering one are significantly 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, shiny variants to your collection. While it's not guaranteed with every encounter, with persistence, you're likely to find a Shiny Fuecoco within the event's timeframe.
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 the game, but the Community Day offers a unique chance to evolve your Fuecoco into a Skeledirge with an exclusive attack.
Skeledirge Featured Attack
Evolve Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day or up to a week afterward, and your resulting Skeledirge will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is not normally part of its moveset.
Torch Song Update
Additionally, Skeledirge can learn Torch Song, another Charged Attack available during and after the Community Day. This move not only deals damage but also boosts Skeledirge's Attack stat by one stage, enhancing its performance in battles.
