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 comprehensive guide covers the March Community Day events, future Community Day dates, and the exciting rewards of the Beloved Buddies event.
Fuecoco's Fiery Community Day Debut
Fuecoco takes center stage 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) unlocks the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn, but only within a week of the event. Skeledirge also learns Torch Song, with no time limit.
A special Timed Research event offers a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further boosts Shiny encounter chances! Complete the tasks by March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 pm (local time).
For $2.00, a Community Day Special Research ticket grants three Fuecoco encounters (all with Seasonal Special Backgrounds), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. Gift this ticket to friends with Great Friends level or higher.
