Pokemon GO developers at Niantic have added the Weather Week 2024 event, which offers chances to get different variants of Shiny Castform. One must note that Castform cannot evolve but has different variants: Standard Castform, Sunny Castform, Rainy Castform, and Snowy Castform. There are multiple ways to get these monsters and their Shiny variants.
Pokemon GO events featuring Castform offer all forms of the monster and their Shiny variants in different ways. There is a slightly different way of encountering and capturing each Castform variant. One must look for areas with specific weather conditions that align with each Castform variant. Note that the Castform variants have different typing, moves, and appearances. That said, this guide explores the best way to get all Shiny Castform variants in the game.

How To Get All Shiny Castform Forms In Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO has four different variants of Castform, each with different typing. The Standard variant Castform is a Normal-type Pokemon with a maximum CP of 1845. Apart from the Standard variant, there is a Sunny Castform, Rainy Castform, and Snowy Castform variant. They all share the same maximum CP and stats spread of 139 ATK, 139 DEF, and 172 STA.
These Castform variants can be Shiny, and there is a specific way to find them. Each variant is a wild spawn and likely to spawn in areas with specific weather conditions. Trainers must encounter multiple Castforms to match the monster’s Shiny odds. One can go Shiny hunting for Castform during events that feature and increase the monster’s wild spawn rate. On top of that, players can also use different Pokemon GO items for maximum encounters.
Players can use Pokemon GO Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect to increase the wild spawn rate. Using these in-game elements during events featuring Castform might help players spawn it in volumes. The more Castform is encountered, the faster players might catch up to its Shiny odds, but one must note that even after using these items, the Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed.
- Castform spawns around areas with partly cloudy weather.
- Sunny Castform spawns around areas with sunny weather.
- Rainy Castform spawns around areas with rainy weather.
- Snowy Castform spawns around areas with fog and snowy weather.
Since each Castform variant has a specific Weather Boost, one must first select which variant of Shiny Castform to hunt. Find a PokeStop or Gym within areas of the particular weather condition, attach a Lure Module, activate an Incense, and traverse around that area. Doing so can stack all of their effects and significantly increase the wild spawn rate of the particular Castform variant, which might help match its Shiny odds in Pokemon GO.
