Pokémon Go players can get their hands on an ultra-rare shiny ‘mon during Weather Week

POKÉMON Go Weather Week has started and people are excited to win some rewards.

There are some rare Pokémon up for grabs and extra rewards for weather-related Pokémon.

From Thursday March 14, 2024, and ending with Monday March 18, 2024, there are still a few days left to collect your in-game rewards.

As the name suggests, Weather Week changes what’s available in Pokémon Go based on the real-world weather.

Paras, Drifloon, Helioptile, Amaura and Lickitung will be more common than normal, regardless of the weather.

Other types of weather make different Pokémon more common, like sunny weather makes more Cacnea more common.

Cloudy weather produces Spritzee, partly cloudy produces Roggenrola, wind produces Swablu, fog produces Gastly, rain produces Lotad and snow produces Snover.

Various Pokémon will also appear in raids, from one-star to five-star raids.

Poliwhirl, Gastly, Hippopotas, and Amaura will appear in one-star raids, while Charizard, Lickitung, and Drampa will appear in three-star raids.

Regice is the boss of five-star raids at the highest level, while Mega Tyranitar will appear in mega raids.

There will also be field research tasks available throughout the week, giving you the chance to encounter Paras, Drifloon, Helioptile, Amaura and every Castform type.

There are also several collection challenges available, as well as new Pokéstop Showcases.

If you catch Pokémon with a Weather Boost, you’ll earn extra Stardust all week long and get twice the Stardust for catching Pokémon.

There is also an increased chance of encountering a Shiny Castform.
