The Fuecoco Community Day in Pokemon GO is scheduled for Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. During these three hours, Fuecoco will appear more frequently in the wild, according to the Pokemon GO event blog. Based on previous Community Days, Fuecoco will likely dominate around 80-90% of spawns, making it an excellent time to gather Candies for evolving and powering up its complete evolution line to enhance your competitive team.

Yes, you can encounter a Shiny Fuecoco in Pokemon GO. During Community Day events, the odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon increase dramatically to 1 in 25, compared to the usual 1 in 512. While it's not guaranteed every time, with enough attempts, you're highly likely to encounter a Shiny Fuecoco within the event's three-hour window.

Fuecoco evolves into Crocalor and then Skeledirge in Pokemon GO, requiring 25 and 100 Fuecoco Candies, respectively. The Community Day event offers a special opportunity: evolve Fuecoco into Crocalor and then Skeledirge within a week of the event start, and Skeledirge will learn the exclusive Charged Attack, Blast Burn, which is not typically part of its moveset.
Evolving Fuecoco into Crocalor during the Community Day or within a week afterward allows your Skeledirge to learn Blast Burn, a powerful Charged Attack.
Additionally, Skeledirge will have access to Torch Song, another Charged Attack that not only inflicts damage but also boosts its Attack stat by one stage in Pokemon GO battles.
During the Fuecoco Community Day and until 10:00 PM on March 8, enjoy these bonuses:

To maximize your gains during the Fuecoco Community Day, stock up on Pinap Berries. Each catch with a Pinap Berry will yield double the usual Fuecoco Candy, and with the event bonuses, you'll get 12 Candies per catch. If you're planning to play the full duration, bring Lure Modules and Incense to increase Fuecoco spawns, boosting your chances of finding a Shiny.
