Pokémon GO's March 2025 Community Day Lineup and Beloved Buddies Event Details
Fuecoco Ignites March's Community Day
Get ready for fiery fun! Pokémon GO has announced Fuecoco, the Fire Croc Pokémon, as the star of the first March 2025 Community Day, taking place 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) during the event window (or within one week afterward) will grant it the powerful Charged Attack, Blast Burn. Skeledirge can also learn Torch Song, regardless of the timeframe.
A special Timed Research event will offer a Fuecoco encounter with a Seasonal Special Background and further enhance Shiny encounter odds. This Timed Research will run until March 15th, 2025, at 10:00 PM (local time).
For $2.00, trainers can purchase a Community Day Special Research ticket, unlocking three Fuecoco encounters (each with a Seasonal Special Background), Battle Passes, and Rare Candies. This ticket is also giftable to Great Friends or higher.
March Community Day Schedule and Beyond
Pokémon GO has unveiled the Community Day schedule extending through May:
Community Day Classic events revisit past Community Day Pokémon, providing another chance to catch them. While the featured Pokémon for the other dates remain undisclosed, anticipation is high!
Beloved Buddies Event: Choose Your Path!
The Beloved Buddies event, featuring Dhelmise, launched alongside the Community Day announcements. Timed Research offers two branching paths:
Candela's Path: Focuses on Buddy Pokémon interaction, rewarding Poffins, Stardust, Ultra Balls, and encounters with Luvdisc, Shellder, and Rapidash.
Arlo's Path: Centers around catching Pokémon and battling Arlo, providing similar item rewards plus a Pocket Radar and encounters with Cubone, Slowpoke, and Scizor.
