Pokémon GO Weather week is set to begin at the conclusion of the Forces of Nature Pokémon havoc. Weather Week will begin on Wednesday, March 24 at 10 a.m local time, and will run until March 29 at 8 p.m local time.
Weather Week will also be split into two parts, each dedicated to Pokémon who favor windy or rainy weather conditions.

Pokémon GO Weather Week: Shiny Castform
Castform is a normal-type Pokémon, but what makes this Pokémon special is that it changes its shape and type based on the weather. Whether it's sunny, rainy, or windy, Castform adapts to any weather conditions.
Now trainers can catch this swiss-army knife style Pokémon in the wild more often during weather-week. You can spot a Rainy Castform around other Pokémon who enjoy the rain or wind. A shiny Castform will also be lurking in the wild for you to find and add to your Pokédex. These kind of abilities are unique and can be very valuable to a trainer, so keep your eyes peeled in the wild for this shiny!
