Pokémon GO March 2025 Community Day Details Revealed
Fuecoco Ignites March's First Community Day
Mark your calendars! Fuecoco takes center stage on March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time). Expect increased Fuecoco spawns and boosted Shiny rates—your chance to snag a shiny Fire Croc!
Evolving your Fuecoco into Skeledirge (via Crocalor) unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn, but only within one week of the event. Skeledirge can also learn Torch Song, a Charged Attack with no time limit.
A special Timed Research featuring a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background is available. Completing the research further boosts your Shiny Fuecoco encounter chances! This Timed Research runs until March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 PM (local time).
For an extra boost, a $2.00 Community Day Special Research ticket offers three Fuecoco encounters (all with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. This ticket is giftable to Great Friends and above.
