After offering a glimpse of Paldea with the introduction of Gimmighoul and Gholdengo earlier this year, Pokemon GO is all set to welcome more creatures from that region in September 2023. "A Paldean Adventure" is a brand-new event that will add the Generation IX starters and Lechonk to the roster of the title. This event goes live on September 5, 2023, at 10 AM local time and will end on Sunday, September 10, 2023.

Feucoco, which is the fire-type starter of the Paldea region of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, will be one of the highlights of this event. Alongside the bipedal crocodilian starter, you will also be able to add its subsequent evolutions, Crocalor and Skeledirge, to your team during the "A Paldean Adventure" event. This article will tell you how to get all of these fire-type Pokemon in Niantic's mobile game.


How to get Fuecoco in Pokemon GO

You can get Fuecoco in four ways. They are as follows:

  • Adventure Abound Special Research
  • Wild Encounters
  • Eggs
  • Field Research Encounters

Adventure Abound Special Research

All players who log into the game between September 5, 2023, and December 1, 2023, will get a Special Research with three branches. If you choose the one focusing on Fuecoco, you will get this Fire-type starter as a reward for completing it.


Wild Encounters

Fuecoco will be available as a wild encounter starting from September 5, 2023. During the A Paldean Adventure event, it will have a boosted spawn rate. Using an Incense and walking around will boost the chance of you running into this creature.

It's worth noting the other Paldean starters will also be spawning in the wild from September 5. During the aforementioned event, you can even find critters from Poco Path in Pokemon Scarlet Violet — such as Hoppip, Fletchling, and Lechonk — abundantly available.


Eggs

Hatching 7km Eggs received after the commencement of A Paldean Adventure will also give you a chance to receive a Fuecoco and other Paldean starters. Keep in mind that you can only get those items in Pokemon GO by opening gifts from in-game friends.


Field Research encounter

The entity will also be available as a Field Research reward encounter. Fire Croc Pokemon encountered this way will have a higher IV floor of 10/10/10. This means you have a better chance of getting your hands on a perfect IV Fuecoco using this method.


How to get Crocalor in Pokemon GO

When Crocalor is released, the only to get it Crocalor in Pokemon GO will be by evolving Fuecoco. Like other starters and most other two-stage evolutions, it will take 25 Candy to transform Fuecoco into Crocalor.


How to get Skeledirge in Pokemon GO

Like Crocalor, the only way to get Skeledirge in Niantic's mobile game is through evolution. To get this Singer Pokemon, you need to feed Crocalor 100 Fuecoco Candy.


Can Fuecoco, Crocalor, and Skeledirge be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Shiny Fuecoco, Crocalor, and Skeledirge will not be available when they are released into the game. Going by the release dates previous generations' starters got that exclusive form, Fuecoco will only receive its shiny form in Pokemon GO when it gets its Community Day. This usually takes a starter around two years.
