Pokémon GO’s Season of World of Wonders’ Weather Week event guide

As we’re nearing the spring equinox (for the Northern Hemisphere) and the autumnal equinox (for the Southern Hemisphere), we’ll see the weather change. (Or hoping that it doesn’t snow again this spring.) That subtle shift of seasons has inspired Pokémon GO’s next event – Weather Week. This will be the perfect opportunity to find Castform’s weather forms and select Pokémon that are being spotlighted. (For more details about the Season of World of Wonder, you can check out our overall Season of World of Wonder guide hub.)

Now, check out what’s happening during the Weather Week event with our guide below:
