Fuecoco Shines as March's Featured Pokémon in Community Day

Pokémon GO's March 2025 Community Day Lineup and Beloved Buddies Event Details

March's Pokémon GO Community Day extravaganza kicks off with Fuecoco, the fiery croc Pokémon! This article covers the event specifics, upcoming Community Day dates, and the rewards awaiting trainers in the Beloved Buddies event.

Fuecoco Ignites March's Community Day

Pokémon GO has revealed Fuecoco as the star of the first March Community Day, scheduled for 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 a 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 odds. This Timed Research runs until 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.

Upcoming Community Day Events

Pokémon GO has unveiled Community Day dates through May:

• Saturday, March 8, 2025
• Saturday, March 22, 2025 (Community Day Classic)
• Sunday, April 27, 2025
• Sunday, May 11, 2025

Beloved Buddies Event: Candela or Arlo?

The Beloved Buddies event, featuring Dhelmise, includes a Timed Research with two branching paths: one focusing on bonding with your Buddy Pokémon alongside Candela (Team Valor), and the other involving catching Pokémon and battling Arlo (Team GO Rocket).

Initial tasks reward Ultra Balls, Remoraid, and Mantine encounters. Choosing a path unlocks different rewards:

Candela Path: Poffins, Stardust, Ultra Balls, and encounters with Luvdisc, Shellder, and Rapidash.

Arlo Path: Poffins, Stardust, Ultra Balls, a Pocket Radar, and encounters with Cubone, Slowpoke, and Scizor.

Choose your path wisely based on your preferences and desired Pokémon! Learn more about the Beloved Buddies event in a separate article.
