Catch all four Castform types with Pokémon Go Weather Week.
Since being introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, fans have been fascinated with the weather-dependent Castform. And Pokémon Go is no different!
Based on a teru teru bōzu, a Japanese ghost-like doll that is used to prevent rain, Castform is one of the few Pokémon to not have any evolution. That said, it does transform depending on the type of weather.
While this is certainly unique (and pretty cool), it can make catching all of the different variations a bit of a hassle.
Thankfully, Castform is set to appear more frequently in Pokémon Go Weather Week.
The latest event will also see plenty of incentives for new and returning players, such as the increased chance of catching a shiny Castform.
Even if you miss the event, we’ve got all the details on how to get Castform in Pokémon Go, so you can complete your Pokédex in no time. Read on for all the details.
How to get Castform in Pokémon Go explained
Castform is found in the wild, so by playing Pokémon Go there’s a chance that one will appear.
The only thing you need to take into account is the real-world weather. Castform is a normal-type Pokémon and reflects that on a clear day. It will then transform into a different elemental form, say if it’s raining or sunny.
We’ve outlined the different types and weather needed below:
- Castform (Normal) – Clear, Clouds and Wind
- Castform (Rainy) – Rain
- Castform (Snowy) – Fog and Snow
- Castform (Sunny) – Sun
Pokémon Go Weather Week explained
Castform is the star of Pokémon Go Weather Week, with a heightened chance of catching a shiny happening during the event.
In addition to this, Weather Week-themed Field Research will grant trainers the opportunity to catch all forms of Castform. So it doesn’t matter whether it’s glorious or grim outside – just complete the tasks and all four Castform types can be yours.
Any Pokémon caught during Weather Week will grant trainers double Stardust. The resource will then be increased again for any Pokémon captured with a Weather Boost stat. These can be seen on the map by a light-blue spinning ring circling the Pokémon.
