March Community Day: Fuecoco Takes the Stage

Pokémon GO March 2025 Community Day: Fuecoco and Beyond

Get ready for the March 2025 Pokémon GO Community Day extravaganza, starting with the fiery Fuecoco! This comprehensive guide covers the event details, upcoming Community Day dates, and the exciting rewards of the Beloved Buddies event.

Fuecoco Ignites March's Community Day

Pokémon GO's February 11th, 2025 announcement confirmed Fuecoco as the star of the first March Community Day, taking place 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) unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn, but only within one week of the event. Skeledirge can also learn Torch Song without time constraints.

A special Timed Research event offers a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further boosts Shiny encounter chances! Complete the tasks by March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 pm (local time).

For $2.00, trainers can access an exclusive Community Day Special Research featuring three Fuecoco encounters (all with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. This ticket is giftable to Great Friends and above.
