Pokémon GO's March 2025 Community Day Lineup and Beloved Buddies Event Details
Fuecoco Ignites March's Community Day
Get ready for fiery fun! Pokémon GO's March Community Day kicks off with Fuecoco, the Fire Croc Pokémon, 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) within one week of the event unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn. Skeledirge can also learn Torch Song anytime.
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 increased Shiny odds.
For $2.00, a Community Day Special Research ticket grants three Fuecoco encounters (with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. Gift this ticket to friends with Great Friend status or higher.
