Pokemon GO has a new event in store that will affect which Pokemon you're likely to find and hatch: weather week.
The first Pokemon GO weather week runs from March 24 at 10 a.m. local time through March 29 at 8 p.m. local time.
During the weather week event, Pokemon who normally appear only in certain weather types have a boosted chance of appearing.
The first weather week focuses on rainy and windy weather, so expect to see plenty of Water-type Pokemon, including Castform (Rainy), and one very stormy Legendary during five-star Raids.
Weather weeks won’t stop on March 29.
However, while Niantic hasn’t yet said what the next weather week will focus on, we’re hoping it’s snow related.
Nothing beats catching Ice Pokemon without us having to freeze our toes off in the process.
