All features and exclusive moves coming to Pokémon GO Community Day (March 2025)
Community Day in Pokémon GO is a monthly event that centers on a specific Pokémon, offering in-game bonuses. The 100th Community Day event is happening on March 8 and the featured Pokémon is the adorably derpy Fuecoco. Not only will Fuecoco make an increased number of appearances in the wild during Community Day, but its shiny version and evolutions will also join the fun in Pokémon GO for the first time. With increased spawn rates for the initial evolution of this Gen 9 starter, Community Day is the best chance you’re likely to get if you want a hoard of shiny Skeledirge on your side. Aside from the excitement of shiny Fuecoco, a bunch of other bonuses will be available on the day of event.
