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

Get ready for a fiery start to March in Pokémon GO! Fuecoco, the Fire Croc Pokémon, ignites the first Community Day event on March 8th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time). This event boasts increased Shiny Fuecoco encounter 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 without time constraints.

A special Timed Research event runs concurrently, offering a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further boosted Shiny rates. 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. This ticket is giftable to Great Friends or higher.
