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:

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 Go has arrived! The Pokémon TCG Crossover event is here, which includes the release of Wimpod and Golisopod. While Go Fest 2022 may be behind us, there are still three special research quests you might be working on - Pokémon Go Fest 2022, Rhi's Arrival and A Radiant World. Meanwhile, the Great League and Great League and Great League Remix are currently running in the Go Battle League Season 11. This season has also seen the lowering of the level requirement for Candy XL and introduced the first Ultra Beast, Nihilego.

Weather Week event dates and times in Pokémon Go

Weather Week is an in-game event for Pokémon Go which is focusing around Pokémon which appear more frequently during rainy or windy weather conditions.

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!
