Pokémon GO March 2025 Community Day Details Revealed
Fuecoco Ignites March's First Community Day
Mark your calendars! Fuecoco, the adorable Fire Croc Pokémon, takes center stage on March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time). Expect increased Fuecoco spawns, and significantly boosted Shiny rates!
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, with no time limit.
A special Timed Research event will grant you a Fuecoco encounter featuring a Seasonal Special Background. Completing these tasks further increases your chances of encountering a Shiny Fuecoco! This Timed Research runs until March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 PM (local time).
For a more premium experience, a $2.00 Community Day Special Research ticket offers three Fuecoco encounters (all with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), alongside Battle Passes and Rare Candies. This ticket is also giftable to Great Friends or better.
