Pokémon Go is having a Fuecoco Community Day event on Saturday, March 8, from 2-5 p.m. in your local time.
As expected with a Community Day event, Fuecoco will spawn in huge numbers with a high chance for it to appear shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks, which we’ve listed out below.
How do I catch a shiny Fuecoco in Pokémon Go?
As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), Shiny rates on Community Days are about 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour window, you should find quite a few shiny Pokémon.
If you’re short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop an Incense, then quickly tap each Fuecoco to check for shiny ones, running from any that aren’t shiny. Notably, any Fuecoco you’ve already tapped will face where your player is standing, so that should help identify which ones you may have already checked.
What Community Day move does Fuecoco’s evolution learn?
If you evolve Crocalor into Skeledirge starting from 2 p.m. on March 8 until March 15 in your local time, it will learn the charged move Blast Burn.
If you miss out on evolving it during this period, you will likely be able to evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Blast Burn. If you don’t want to wait, you can use an Elite TM to get the move.
How does Skeledirge do in the meta?
Even with the powerful Blast Burn move, Skeledirge isn’t much of a raid Pokémon. There are tons of better options, like Darmanitan, Blaziken, and the recently-available Reshiram — just to name a few.
However, for PvP, Skeledirge is a completely different story, especially in the Ultra League, according to PvPoke. Set it up with Incinerate with Shadow Ball and Disarming Voice to cause a ruckus.
How do I make the most of Fuecoco Community Day?
The following bonuses will be active during Fuecoco Community Day:
- Tripled Stardust for catching Pokémon
- Doubled candy for catching Pokémon
- Doubled chance for level 31+ trainers to get XL candy from catching Pokémon
- Incense lasts three hours
- Lure Modules lasts three hours
- Fuecoco special photobombs when taking snapshots
- One additional special trade
- Stardust cost halved for trading
That said, you should definitely pop a Star Piece and an Incense and try to nab some Fuecoco.
If you can Mega Evolve Charizard, Houndoom, or Blaziken, you’ll score additional Fuecoco Candy per catch. Using Primal Reversion on your Groudon will work as well.
There will also be “Community Day Continued” Timed Research until March 15 that will reward more Fuecoco, including ones with special themed backgrounds.
