Throughout this event, you’ll be able to complete the Weather Week research quest and a number of exclusive field research tasks. Both of these will only be available during the event, so, if you want to complete them, make sure you do it before the deadline. Weather Week also sees the release of the shiny form for Rainy Form Castform! On this page: It’s important to remember this is a timed research quest, so it will only be available during the Weather Week event itself. Once the event ends, you’ll no longer be able to access the quest or its rewards. Thank you to Amiibofan101 from reddit for the help with this information! ‘Weather Week’ Step 1 of 4

Thank you to SilphScience from reddit for the help with this information! Unlike previous in-game Pokémon Go events, the Pokémon which will appear more frequently in the wild as part of Weather Week will actually change during the event itself. From Wednesday, 24th March at 10am (local time) to Saturday, 27th March at 10am, you’ll be able to find Pokémon which prefer rainy conditions more frequently in the wild, such as Vaporeon, Lotad and Stunfisk. Past 10am (local time) on Saturday, 27th March till the end of the event on Monday, 29th March at 8pm (local time), Pokémon which enjoy windy weather conditions, like Skarmory, Taillow and Pidove, will then start appearing more frequently instead. A number of Pokémon have also been added to the 5km egg pool as part of the event, which are:
Psyduck Poliwag Swablu Drifloon Mantyke Tympole Ducklett
If you’re able to see the hatch rates for your eggs, you’ll be able to see these Pokémon, along with the chance of you hatching them, added to the 5km egg pool list.
Finally, you’ll be able to find Pokémon which prefer rainy or windy weather conditions in raids too, such as Slowpoke and Tynamo in one-star raids or Swallow and Pelipper in three-star raids.
Don’t forget - thanks to Remote Raid passes, you can invite a friend to a raid even if they’re miles away.
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Both the Weather Week timed research and field research tasks are only available during the event, which runs from Wednesday, 24th March at 10am (local time) to Monday, 29th March at 8pm (local time).
The Weather Week research quest consists of four steps and you’ll be rewarded for each individual challenge and overall step you complete. If you want to earn all of these rewards, you need to ensure you complete the Weather Week research quest before the end of the event itself, because, like all timed research, the questline will evaporate.
Enjoy catching lots of Rainy Form Castforms!
