Fuecoco is the moment in this event featuring event bonuses, a featured attack, research, and more.
Pokémon GO’s March 2025 Community Day is turning up the heat with the Fire Croc Pokémon, Fuecoco! On March 8, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, Fuecoco will be toddling through the wild more frequently, with lucky Trainers potentially encountering a Shiny Fuecoco. Evolve Crocalor, Fuecoco’s first Evolution, at any point during March Community Day or up to one week afterward to get a Skeledirge that knows the Charged Attack Blast Burn. And the excitement continues for Skeledirge—starting with this event, the Singer Pokémon will be able to learn the Charged Attack Torch Song.

March Community Day research opportunities burn bright with Field Research, Community Day Special Research, and Fuecoco Community Day Special Background Timed Research. Tickets for the Fuecoco Community Day–exclusive Special Research are available for US$2.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency). Trainers who complete the research will earn a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL, and three encounters with Fuecoco that have a Seasonal Special Background. As always, event–themed Field Research opportunities are free. Complete tasks focused on catching Fuecoco to earn rewards including Stardust, Great Balls, and more.
And the fun continues even after the event ends, with Fuecoco Community Day Special Background Timed Research. Trainers who log in during the event will receive access to this research for one week following the event. The tasks associated with this Timed Research must be completed and their rewards must be claimed before Saturday, March 15, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. local time.
