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 on March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time) featuring Fuecoco, the Fire Croc Pokémon. 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, regardless of the event timeframe.
A special Timed Research event runs concurrently, offering a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further boosting Shiny odds. Complete the tasks by March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 PM (local time).

For $2.00, a special Community Day Research ticket provides three Fuecoco encounters (with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. Gift this ticket to friends with Great Friends or higher friendship levels.
