Pokémon GO Community Day Unveils Fuecoco

Pokémon GO's March 2025 Community Day Lineup and Beloved Buddies Event Details

The March 2025 Pokémon GO Community Day extravaganza begins with Fuecoco, the fiery croc Pokémon! This guide covers the event details, upcoming Community Day dates, and rewards from the concurrent Beloved Buddies event.

Fuecoco's Fiery Community Day Debut

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. Evolving your Fuecoco to Skeledirge (via Crocalor) during the event week unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn. Skeledirge can also learn Torch Song, without time restrictions.

A special Timed Research event runs until March 15th, 10:00 PM (local time), offering a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further enhanced shiny odds. A separate, paid Community Day Special Research ($2.00) provides three Fuecoco encounters (also with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Rare Candies, and a Battle Pass. This ticket is giftable to Great Friends and above.
