There will be many ways to find and catch Shiny Rainy Form Castform during Weather Week in Pokémon GO, so let’s break them all down.

• Find one in the wild
• Encounter from Field Research
• Encounter from Timed Research

We have guides for some of these and will link them as soon as they are availble, so be sure to reference those if you need assistance. As far as tips, the wild encounters are likely your best bet, as Rainy Form Castform will be spawning frequently in the wild during Weather Week. Note: according to early reports Rainy Form Castform is only appearing in rainy weather, so you may want to focus on the Timed Research which offers 5 encounters with shiny chances.

You can raise your chances by using Incense, which should up the amount of event Pokémon you see. Otherwise the Timed Research offers a number of encounters, all with a good chance of being shiny, so be sure to check out our guide and complete it to get all of the rewards. Otherwise you’re stuck waiting for a Poké Stop to give you an event Field Research task, which you then have to complete to see if you’re lucky enough to get a Shiny Castform (Rainy Form).
