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 after evolution.

A special Timed Research event runs concurrently, offering a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further boosted Shiny odds. Complete the tasks by March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 pm (local time).

For $2.00, grab the exclusive Community Day Special Research. This provides three Fuecoco encounters (with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. Gift this ticket to friends with Great Friends level or higher.
