Pokemon GO Weather Week: Castform encounters, event bonuses, raid bosses, and more

Pokemon GO Weather Week brings weather-dependent encounters, Castform spawns, event bonuses, and more for trainers to enjoy. The event also includes themed Collection Challenges, PokeStop Showcases, and Field Research task encounters.

Real-life weather conditions are replicated within Pokemon GO, affecting various in-game mechanics like spawns and move powers. The Weather Week event utilizes this to offer trainers specific wild encounters.
