Pokémon GO March 2025 Community Days Details Revealed
Fuecoco Ignites March's First Community Day

Pokémon GO has announced Fuecoco as the star of the first March Community Day event, taking place on March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time). Prepare for increased Fuecoco spawns and boosted Shiny rates!
Evolving your Fuecoco to 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 Research Timed Research event offers a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background. Completing the tasks further boosts your chances of finding a Shiny Fuecoco! 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 provides three Fuecoco encounters (all with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), along with Battle Passes and Rare Candies. This ticket is also giftable to Great Friends or better.
