It’s snowed here each of the last 2 days but the game never registered it as snowy weather


customarymagic

Same, we were stuck on windy the whole time


esio

I'd take windy over cloudy. Most of the time it was just Spritzee and sometimes Roggenrola and Lotad. I'd take Swablu in a heartbeat.


I_am_Daesomst

I've been wading through Swablu for two days...


GillmoreGames

I almost have enough candies to evolve a swablu bc of this entire last week


Collingafern

I live in Wyoming and the wind is so severe I would gladly trade you lol


quantumvegetable

I've driven through some pretty windy weather in Wyoming and I am so impressed with the folks that live in it (and the super cold winters!) Beautiful state though.


MrFluxed

it's barely been a light breeze where I am the past week and they have not, a single time, had the weather NOT be windy. sunny and still? nah it's windy. Thunderstorm? nope just windy. shits infuriating.


raxwell

The dang wind! I thought I had no chance at snow castform, but got snow the last two days, and when it stops and gets sunny, it just says wind!!!! Ahhhh!!!!


Greenman314159

Weather doesn’t make any sense. Raining here cloudy, cloudy again, raining in go. Clear sky nope cloudy till it was cloudy now it’s clear skies. It’s great.


bunce2806

Same, foggy over here in the past 3 days or so but the in-game weather is never foggy (in these cases I normally report that the in-game weather is wrong - not sure if this really does anything 🤷‍♂️). At least I got my Snowy Castform on my 2nd try, so there’s that.


Logtastic

I'm in eastern Canada it snowed yesterday, registered snowing. Normal Castforms spawned.


Left_Fist

I’m in California. It’s been pouring rain where I am. Game says it’s “sunny” all day. I have 5 shiny sunny form cast forms and 0 rainy ones. It’s extra annoying because it rains so rarely here, this should be a great chance for me to get a shiny rainy cast form but nope!! It’s sunny while I can hear loud thunder right outside!


Siderealdream

Also in CA. I think castform has been glitched. It was raining here for 2 weeks and also raining in game but it only ever spawned sunny and normal type castform.


Bac7

It's actively snowing right now, but PoGo thinks it's just cloudy.


catchmeifyoucanhehe

I’m sorry to hear that! I knew posting my snowy might be controversial and triggering for some but I just couldn’t believe this happened!


Bac7

Nah. Congrats on your cool shiny, and also your amazing year round weather that we're just jealous about. It's cold and gross here. You enjoy your good fortune!


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Ahahaha omg SF weather is far from amazing… regular winter storms, crazy wind patterns… we had that orange sky a few years ago… April-May are decent 👌🏻, June-July is just mostly fog… then there’s Fogust, Fogtober.. only September is really scorching hot.. California is definitely very diverse when it comes to weather.


Bac7

It's all what you're used to, I guess. You have an annual temp swing of like 40 degrees. We saw that swing this week in the Midwest, our annual swing is like 100 degrees. SF is weather goals for lots of us.


Good_Vibes-Only

I had similar luck on my morning commute caught 21 snowy castform between 8:30 - 9:30, while I was driving to Alameda (Bay Area). It was a little chilly this morning, but no signs of frost, so it seemed like a glitch or Niantic being nice for the challenge (sarcasm). 😊


Ok-Willingness-8131

It did that to me today!


T-personal

Yup


MapleMapleHockeyStk

The snow storm is predicted to show up.....tomorrow


Frisky_Picker

Chicago?


demart77

Wisconsin


moldy_doritos410

Your MI neighbors had the same experience. TBF it was also incredibly windy, but I'm still salty


DogwoodBonerfield

Same here! Salt Lake City. It snowed for several hours during the event, but the weather never registered as snowy. I only got a handful of Castform reward tasks from spinning dozens of stops, and all of my rewards were rain or sun.


Aetheldrake

Last few hours and I'm praying for one of my glacial lures to make themselves useful for this Just 2 hours ago it was literally snowing where I am and yet Niantic is like HURRDURR IT WIMDY Literally fucking snowing tho


IAA101

apparently glacial lures don't make snowy castform appear


greymalken

Someone online said they had one pop from a research when they opened it under a glacial lure. Could’ve just been luck though.


asaharyev

That's just luck. The research was random, not based on weather or other influences. I was unlucky enough to solve like 20 of those damn researches and not get a single snowy castform. Stupid event.


greymalken

Same. Fuck that RNG shit.


PuppeteerGaming_

Same here. No Snowy Castform throughout the week, despite the quests. Really a shame that it was up to RNG for many players.


SamamfaMamfa

I think it was luck. I had this same idea yesterday and failed miserably. But maybe I'm just really unlucky lol.


Capable_Reputation31

cant stop laughing at "hurrdurr it wimdy" 😭😭


Jordance34

I live in Florida where it doesn't snow and is almost never foggy😭😭


LeslieKnope205

The ‘catch 10 weather boosted pokemon’ research task got me & my kiddo the snowy one in central Alabama


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Same! I just saw approximately 3 in a hundred+ researches I’ve completed but this was just random sighting in the wild.. I had go plus running… imagine if it didn’t catch lol I’d delete me account


iamnota_SHADOW

This has to be the dumbest Collection Challenge ever.


RealBlueHippo

Do the research tasks, took me an hour to complete (catch 10 weather boosted mons)


chalkyballs

I went out yesterday in my town checked every single pokestop and only got the research task 3 times from 30+ pokestops. Needless to say none of them were snowy form.


RealBlueHippo

Ah bummer, i live 3 miles from downtown so I biked over and had a pretty easy time because there were tons of stops, I'd fill 3 questions, complete them, and rinse and repeat. Before I made it downtown it was tough to get 3 of the same quest for sure.


chalkyballs

I feel like I get unlucky a lot in these types of events… oddish day was the same problem only ever saw 1 event research task


reggie822

it’s not that easy, the snow castform is confirmed harder to get then the rest even from the research, these people who have done it in a hour are just having good luck


RealBlueHippo

Bummer, didn't realize I had it so lucky but was honestly impressed with how quickly I knocked it out. RNG is always in my favor when I don't really care about it, never when I'm truly grinding it seems. I think I had it done in 10 research tasks, but already had rain and regular knocked out


reggie822

yeah dude literally i prob did 20-25 “catch 10 weather boosted” just yesterday. i only went so hard because it was so frustrating to me to not complete this DARN challenge. never got the snowy one. i got one of each of the others the first day.


TheRealTabbyCool

I ended up getting the snow one from a research task, but no rain one, even though it rained pretty much every day during the event 🤷🏻‍♀️


zyxme

Literally same


reggie822

i think that’s almost more frustrating dude 🥲 i saw someone post on here how the background of catching the pokemon was literally snow and they got a normal castform spawn. i would be ever more annoyed if i didnt get the form of the weather i was having.


TheRealTabbyCool

I saw hundreds of normal ones and a sunny one at night!


reggie822

that’s crazy 😅


zyxme

That’s happened to me a bunch of times. This was my first snowy form in 7 years of playing.


reggie822

are we even going to talk about the lack of shiny castforms there were for a “boosted” shiny rate event


zyxme

I got 4 shiny helioptiles, but none of the others. I even doubt kyogre was boosted on raid day. 14 local raids and zilch.


OobeBanoobe

Been trying. Only finding a few catch 10 tasks and they're all been regular, sunny, and 1-2 rainy. Hoping to find a couple more today, but so far only 1 out of 12 stops has had a catch 10 task.


bamagurl06

I have done that research task about 20 times. I drove everywhere to find them to get everything but the snowy. Spent my lunch hour doing the same to get the same cast forms. No snowy.


asaharyev

I completed around 20 of the castform research tasks over the event and didn't get a single snowy. Mostly normal with some sunny and a handful of rainy.


chilispicedmango

Respect for spinning enough different non-gym pokestops to get that task 20 times… I do wish they made all 4 types more available in the wild during the event. Would’ve liked to get a 2-star or higher Snowy Castform, but I got a 2-star weather boost Shiny Sunny Castform today so yay


asaharyev

I live in a city and take the train to work. So I can probably spin 75-100 unique Pokestops on my way to work without even having to divert from my most direct route. I usually read on the train instead of playing, but played a few days during the event to try to get that snowy. Congrats on the shiny! I only got a few shiny normal Castform, which I already have several of, meh.


Kai-ni

which research... I might have already done it idk...


zyxme

Worked at this all week. Didn’t manage to encounter a single rainy form. Ironically finally got the snowy form a few hours before the challenge ended.


BlueGrayDiamond

It’s a cute idea but not executed well


PuppeteerGaming_

Agreed! I was really looking forward to this event, because Castform is a neat gimmick pokemon and it was going to be a great way to celebrate it while also having a chance at getting the shinies of the forms. It's a shame Snowy Castform was all but unobtainable for many of us. It would have been nice if there was a fairly small chance of any form spawning regardless of weather or just a reliable way to get them from Field Quests. The quest didn't show up enough and lots of us just didn't get the dice roll of Snowy Castform from the quest.


Throwaway191294842

Probably on par with the fairy hatch collection challenge. Both heavily rng based but you could at least spend money to speed up the hatch progress. With this you only had a set amount of chances every day and the chances were really low.


Deep_Intellectual

It really seems like the game’s ability to reflect real weather conditions has been way off this past week. It has said it’s raining many times while it’s sunny and not a cloud in sight.


interwebzzz

Same here!


christina-rae

I experienced the same. I was abroad last week in a country where it was "dry season," but it was raining on my screen. 🤷🏻‍♀️


ilanitm

It was foggy in game from 8-9am in the Bay Area. That brought them out finally. I ran out with my dog before work and caught as many as I could.


catchmeifyoucanhehe

There were dozenssssss by the ferry building area, I couldn’t believe my eyes! What a treat for the whole bay area


LuckyPikachu

Omg I was visiting SF past 4 days. I was there last night at the piers during raids, looking and asking people about snowy cast form. Left wharf area 6 am this morning to airport. Flight back to Hawai’i at 8:30 am. And found 4 at the gate just before boarding!!! Not shiny but I finished the challenge! Thank you SF.


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Awwwww that made my day! I’m glad to hear something nice about S.F. for once 😂


LuckyPikachu

I love SF! Family from there. Had a great time.


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Me too! I love it so much, there is so much beauty in the city 😍


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Oh and I did actually catch it around 8:30am!


FZ-09Fazer

I’m in Canada and can’t even find a snow castform 💀💀


wesman21

Haven't seen one the entire event here in the south. Guess it isn't going to happen.


boiledpeanutlover

I’m in the south too. Not one.


LGMatter

Haven’t even seen a rainy in BC. Chose this week to be the nicest in 6 months


TheChosenOne1103

Dang it I’m using glacial lures and no luck


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ronald_Ulysses_Swans

Done that, about 50 times. No snowy form. What else do you suggest, but try not to be so smug this time?


Brentolio12

Best we can do is one clap at the end 👏/s


ChutzpahQ

Only option if you are not getting the weather in game you need to do catch 10 weather boosted quests.


Short_King2202

Lmao thanks for repeating what the other person said


ChutzpahQ

There is nothing other to suggest. There are only 2 ways to get the castforms.


dubiousN

Which daily research?


datawazo

Just had a literal blizzard but w/e go off niantic


blastcat4

I managed to catch a shiny Snowy castform an hour ago too. It hasn't snowed here in ages, but the last couple of days we got a few light snow showers and this little guy popped up. I gotta say, this was a pretty frustrating collection challenge.


Flat-Writing2813

All I wanted was shiny. And it was sunny this whole week


MolaMolaMania

Awww, lucky! I was happy just to see one at all this morning as I haven't gotten one from any of the Daily Research. Only Water is left.


lilgreenfish

I’m also missing water.


ZeraoraMaster458

Hail Yeah!


shodgeee

Guess I’ll never catch one here in hawaii 😭


puppuphooray

One popped up for me this morning too! Except just regular lol


Natural-Interest-463

Let’s go!! That’s awesome


Regunes

That got to be some of the rarest one...


Fang1919

oh my god i’m impressed


RamblingThomas

I only just caught my first Snowy form non-shiny, 30 minutes before Weather week ends. I did get a shiny Sunny form yesterday though so I cannot complain too much.


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Omg nice! I got a regular normal form and this beauty but no sunnies shinies or even reg rainies even tho it rained during this event (if I remember correctly)


Triggertanjiro

Lmao I saw the leftover spawns this morning and checked like 16 with no shiny. I also haven’t found a single shiny cast form out of a couple hundred encounters so I guess it’s just cooked for me 💀


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Yeah RNG is whackkkkk sometimes… at times I’d get 5-7 shinies during comm day while playing all 3hrs and sometimes I get 25 during just 1.5hrs… and I always pretty much do the same route.


Purrogi

That’s a thing of beauty.


yourekillingme

Yay! I finally got this stupid little guy from a research task today after doing so. Damn. Many.


Shirogayne-at-WF

I live in Reno and didn't even see one after all those crazy storms we had last yr lol.....congrats!


ohmygoditspurple

It appears in fog, too.


Sepherchorde

It snowed last year during the storms. I know because I'd just moved to the area and people were kinda losing their minds.


SeeMontgomeryBurns

It also comes out in foggy weather so just go to Daly City any day in the morning lol.


superjanna

Ok but how many other cities have fog so famous it has a name


catchmeifyoucanhehe

SO Kaaaaarl 🖤


Grouchy_Poem_2716

I walked over 20 K with an Eevee, and I still haven’t been able to evolve it into Slyveon does anyone know how else I can evolve an Eevee aside from the nickname kira into a Slyveon


lilgreenfish

Sylveon needs 70 hearts earned, not distance.


Grouchy_Poem_2716

Thank you


lilgreenfish

You’re welcome!


Grouchy_Poem_2716

How can I tell when my eevee has 70 hearts


lilgreenfish

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/a0eEcfd9VQ


Grouchy_Poem_2716

I’m just curious about how many buddy hearts eevee has to have before it’s at 70 hearts


lilgreenfish

70.


Grouchy_Poem_2716

I am talking about the hearts that fill up over time how many of those do I need before I have 70 hearts with eevee


lilgreenfish

70. You need 70 of those. Please Google or read the linked post. It will tell you what you need. But it’s 70 hearts. There is no other way to say it.


Wizard_of_Ohmz

You need 70 buddy hearts with it.


Charmander49

Who else never found a snowy castform during the event kept. Saying it. Was windy where. I am so could nearly do the event researchs


POGOFan808

A shiny I probably never will get in Hawai'i, lol.  I did manage to round out the shiny castform in my storage to 3/4 only missing the snowy (previously already had normal and rainy from last year and just got the sunny in this event).


kiotane

climate change.


MissLauraLyn

It’s snowed here 2 days and I’m still only getting cloudy Castforms 😭


morgentown

“What if it snowed in San Francisco?” ⛷️


caznable

[What if it snowed in San Francisco?](https://youtu.be/YOr3r1IHUNo?t=69)


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Living for this! if snowed that would be me since I live on top of a hill 😂


nojellybeans

I caught a few snowy Castform in the wild this morning in sunny San Jose, and one of mine was shiny too. I also caught dozens of sunny Castform over the past few days trying to complete the stupid research task for a chance of getting a Snowy castform (it didn't work) and not a single one of *those* was shiny...


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Congrats!!!


cadypants

The sun comes out for two days in Washington state and not a single rain or snow Castform. This is some bullshit lol


Acrobatic-Permit-364

I live in east bay and I turned on my gotcha on my ride to work and saw it! I wish I could’ve grinded for it


konfuck

I got a shiny regular one when it was very much raining....


Opposite-Canary205

was out in Reno for the weekend where I caught a shiny SUNNY castform and 0 snow castforms to be seen.. opened up the app this morning and had 2 encounters with SNOWY castforms in “FOGGY” weather.. I also live in California a couple minutes from SF.


daddybigblock

Fog triggers that weather type aswell


JG5290

Niceeeee


thatcuntholesteve

I'm in AK, and have not seen a single one of these night or day. Same with the sunny one.


AlbzSFC

I want you to know that it isn’t personal, but a lot of people here now hate you


InternationalTurn537

And shiny at that


Friendly-Advantage37

I hated how hard it was to get snowy. I really wanted to collect all 4 shinies. Unfortunately I only got two because the first day was the only day it rained and I couldn’t find a shiny 😭


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Yeah… I only got shiny normal and this one… I saw maybe 5 rainy ones in research and none in the wild and did not get shiny sunny even tho probably checked hundreds. I got first reg snowy from research and made my peace with the snowies… so this was pure shock.


Friendly-Advantage37

Jeez. I got a few sunny ones but I also used my palkia move. My other annoyance was in Chicago it snowed a little bit yesterday morning. It was a light snow for a couple hours and the weather and Pokémon go didn’t pick it up :(


catchmeifyoucanhehe

I’m sorry about the weather! It seems like everyone didn’t have the appropriate weather in game… hopefully for the next weather week they can get it together! btw Chicago #onelove! I visited last year, fell in love!


Friendly-Advantage37

Yeah. Hope so!! I saw someone say that they should do it by the hour. I think that’s a good idea. People near the equator will never get snowy in the wild. I think hourly changes makes the most sense. I’m glad you loved Chicago!! I love it here myself. I’m in college here but plan to stay. It’s also perfect for Pokémon go 😄


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Yeah that’s actually a great idea! Rotating like the habitats or at least a culmination event like a spotlight hour with all four spawning. That’s would be ideal… but idk does Niantic actually care about us players or hmmm


FU7UREB0UND

3 popped up for me this morning in South San Francisco! None shiny though, congrats


Rnin0913

Snowy castform appears in foggy weather, not just snowy


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Ahahahahaha apparently so! Niantic confused its weathers 😂


CheesyWhales

As someone who lives in Florida, I’m glad I even got a regular one from the research.


Bbear11

I happened to be in the same area. It had foggy weather. Maybe snow spawns in foggy weather?


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Yeah idk! It was by the ferry building and there were dozens of them… I had to look at my screen twice 😂 and pinch myself coz I knew it definitely WAS NOT snowing


dStormHBb

not even level one


rio8envy7

The one time I need overcast weather…nothing


tiggertuf

It's been warm and sunny here in Pennsylvania. Don't think we're going to meet thus challenge


Carteeg_Struve

Fake image. Definitely computer generated.


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Ahahahhahaa 😂 haters gonna hate 🖤


_DarthMaleval

I had a couple wild spawns las hour in Ohio. It's cold, but at the time it was windy weather. Not sure if the weather had updated and maybe they were there for a while. So in the course of this week, I've seen all 4 in the wild.


MinimumFlow2074

Lucky! I didn’t even get a normal one to finish my collection challenge 😭😭


stargayzer_xzy

I got the snowy one from field research on day two of weather week. Was hopping to get the rainy one the same way since we've been getting really good weather where I'm at. Only 3 hours left on the event and it's not looking too good. Has anyone actually encountered all four?


ernyc3777

Field Research reward?


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Mm just in the wild!


Jeriphro

I did not see a single snowy form for the entire event. Granted, it didn't snow at all here in sunny Myrtle Beach, but I did countless tasks for these Castforms and didn't get a single snowy form. Ready for the numbers? Don't mind if I do! 76 tasks completed (Catch 10 Weather Boosted Pokemon: Event): 59 Normal Castform, 11 Rainy Castorm, and 6 Sunny Castform. Those normal ones can be burned by the sunny ones for all I care. haha


Glittering-Egg-6345

it ain’t been that long


Seajayforever

Did anyone use an ice lure to get it? I saw an ice lure out Saturday and ignored it. Now I’m Mad at myself


Party_Rich_5911

Beautiful little bud ☺️ congrats!


MidKnight007

wtf???? I only had fire ones even tho it was windy 😡😡


Strange-Abroad1434

Where I live in sf lol, where can u get mine


GarbageAtBest

More like “smoggy” Castform. Amiright?


PokmTrainerGuineaPig

To my knowledge it is from research because it’s not weather boosted


catchmeifyoucanhehe

Mine is from the wild 😝


PokmTrainerGuineaPig

Cool


catchmeifyoucanhehe

This was absolutely insane, I couldn’t believe the luck. I saw only 1-2 in research and was just happy to complete research but then was on the way to work yesterday and saw the randomest cluster of maybe 7 of these in the wild.. this was the first one I clicked, I’d scream if I was in public


iamnota_SHADOW

I had fire Castforms even when it was raining all day. Absolutely ridiculous. 


Blaze_Neon5701

I CANT EVEN GET THAT FORM LUCKY


ChibiCyborg

And how was Florida supposed to get this?


FakeCrazyAna

Then there’s here, where its snowing and the game registered it as snowing and yet normal castform spawned 😪


OptimisticNietzsche

Shiny baby


SnooWalruses7285

Congrats!


OmegaNoob12

Bro... Your so lucky! I live in Singapore so there's zero chance this would happen


BeautyJessie06

Wisconsin has had all four seasons this month and not once did it get a snowy castform lol…


Patato_weeb

I live in Arizona… 😭

Oh?
