Summary

  • Pokemon GO's Weather Week event offers boosted encounter rates and bonuses for players to enjoy from March 14 to March 18.
  • Players can team up during raids to battle select Pokemon, earn extra rewards, and possibly capture a Shiny Pokemon.
  • Players can take advantage of increased encounter rates for featured Pokemon based on different weather conditions during Weather Week in Pokemon GO.

Pokemon GO is launching its new Weather Week event on March 14 with boosted encounter rates and other rewarding event bonuses to take advantage of. Similar to Raid Day events, Pokemon GO players will also be able to team up and battle select Pokemon to earn more rewards and potentially capture a Shiny Pokemon.

Niantic, the developer of Pokemon GO, hosts several events for the popular mobile game every month. Pokemon GO's Community Day and Raid Day events are especially rewarding for trainers, since encounter rates and XP gains are greatly increased. The Weather Week event combines elements of Community Day and Raid Day with a variety of featured Pokemon that represent different weather conditions.

The new Pokemon GO Weather Week event begins on Thursday, March 14, 2024, at 10:00 am local time and lasts until Monday, March 18, 2024, at 8:00 pm. During the event, Pokemon GO players may encounter select Pokemon more frequently in the wild in certain weather conditions. For example, the chances of encountering Roggenrola in Pokemon GO are greater than normal when the weather is partly cloudy. Some Pokemon, including Paras and Drifloon, will appear more frequently, regardless of the weather conditions that are active. Players can also earn extra Stardust from catching Pokemon and potentially capture a Shiny Castform, thanks to its boosted overall encounter rate.

Additional rewards, such as Stardust and Incense, may be earned by completing Collection Challenges during Weather Week.
