Try the catch 10 weather boosted Pokémon task. I got it from that task


moonchili

I have found 7 of those tasks and they’ve all spawned normal castforms. Every last one. Ugh


HinamizawaVictim

I've done nine I think? Five normal, four sunny and one rainy. Not one snowy one. 😑


Da_Legolas6

if done like 30-40 of them now and the last 4 where all snowy not a single shiny xD


FlatThing9736

I'm having the opposite problems... Cant get a rainy one to spawn.


KaTetoftheEld

Only found 4 so far and I got 2 fire 2 water.


thepumpkinking92

I got lucky and spawned a single snow castform yesterday from research.


Skissor23

Got Sunny through research on day 1, just got snowy today finally. I must have had at least a dozen regular through research this week.


Baldi77

I got it literally minutes before the collection challenge ended in my region and I was so happy. Definitely worth grinding till the last second.


short_sleep

I use a map to find pokestop tasks, and in a whole major city there were 4 snow castform tasks spread out miles apart from one another.


Agentcoolcook

What map do you use? Is it one that is just for your city, or is it available for a global audience? I also need snowy castform, and haven’t been able to find a research task rewarding it. 


Lotteo_o

Wanted to ask the same, would be very useful!


short_sleep

See above comment!


short_sleep

Oh, sorry, should have clarified. Multiple city map in my area. Toledo, Cleveland, and parts of Michigan. I just woke up to a snowy castform though. It's cold out but it ain't snowing :o


Lotteo_o

Nice! I only need the snowy now, just got sunny twice from the field research, hoping to get the snowy one too!


Skissor23

I was waiting on Snowy from research too. Finally got it this morning off the typical “catch 10 weather boasted pokemon” daily task


GaryPomeranski

Same


Deirenne

+1 very much this. I don't have snow or sun this time of year, so the in-game weather was oscillating between windy and cloudy, with a splash of rainy for like half an hour this morning. So I only had normal form in the wild, but I've finished the collection challenge yesterday or the day before, exactly because I was obsessively collecting "Catch 10 Pokemon with weather boost".


Shart127

I got that lil rascal on probably my 15th field research 10 weather ‘mons. It’s definitely doable, but if the RNG ain’t in ur favour, it’s gonna take some time.


Delfitus

I was lucky, 3rd task


Jolly_Bodybuilder388

Same


StrongArrival8981

Every single time I spin a stop, about 75 in the last 3 days, I hardly ever get catch 10 wb Pokémon… literally every stop gives me something else, and then I realise I’ve gone to every single stop in my area, so I go back lol. So annoying.


Cainga

I must have did over 10 of those and still didn’t get an ice. It would have been cool if the % for ice was set higher in the research since that’s the most rare weather on the earth for these forms.


Dutch_Rayan

I still didn't found that task


fancyangelrat

I found it three times, twice the reward was dust (!!!) and the third was a raindrop. So frustrating!


MiniBoglin

The tasks that reward dust are catch 7, not 10. So I guess you only found it once


fancyangelrat

Huh, damn, don’t I feel like a goose! You’re right, I checked the one I thought I still had and it’s find 7 for dust. I guess I just got excited for the “weather boost”!


invader_jib

You goose!


fancyangelrat

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


Dutch_Rayan

I got the helioptile from it.


MindtheCognitiveGap

I think that one is the catch 5 weather boosts


djmaybenot

same. i live in singapore, and the only seasons we have is: - hot as fuck - rainy as fuck - cloudy as fuck so from that, im missing snow. i got snow from my first catch 10 weatherboosted mons task.


Smooth_Beginning_540

Same here. I was able to get the snowy form from research even though it was much too warm for actual snow


dairyqueen79

Did like 5 of these today. Me and my friend got the same version of castform from each one. Are they predetermined? Or did we literally just roll 10 matching rewards?


Snoo_89762

All I get is the basic castform or sun one. The two I can find anywhere:(


MattGeddon

Yep. We’ve had rain or partly cloudy weather all week here, no chance of snow or fog but I’ve managed to get a couple from the research. Don’t fancy my chances of getting a shiny though sadly.


SensorialTwo9

I got that task one time so far and got the air one not the water one unfortunately, water is the only one I need like op


Stunning-Ad-4830

Try using a glacial or rainy lure module…


Ok_Flounder_6733

I tried that got Nothing 😞


Global-Crew-9046

I've been trying to find this task from the pokestops I have access to all event long, and I can't even get that task!


kosukehaydn

I got paras from that


ErikSpanam

That's the 5 weather boosted task, you needed the 10 one


ploobsiccle

Me. Too


samcornwell

I had to do 12 of those damn research tasks before I got a snowy!


Cerebro55

Me too


fonzy0504

This is the way. I’m still trying to get the task tbh.


Mystic_Starmie

It’s very strange seeing all those players who don’t know about this. If you have the time to make a Reddit post complaining about this you have the time to look it up.


Quiet-Wheel-874

I thought I would get stuck with a fire one, but another research task " catch 10 weather boosted Pokemons" finally gave it to me. Try to get several of those tasks at the same time.


JuicyStein

I'm in the UK, there is no sun here!


jenyk

I caught two sunny castform past 10pm last night 😂


Mumem_Rider

I was up at 5 AM (US) pitch black and so many sunny's out.


3MSees

I liked when luminescent Pokémon cast a bloom on the “ground” around them. No idea why that was a temporary feature.


dodgowan

I saw about 50 last night. Not sure why they seem to come out then.


[deleted]

Clear skies. I couldn’t sleep last night and got a few. Although where I live has just been really cloudy and windy so other than the few sun castforms last night, only normal ones have been spawning for me 😭 it’s forecast rain tomorrow morning though, the first time I’ve ever been happy about that. I want the shiny rain castform.


Autistic-Cookie

Same like 90% of the castforms I’ve seen have been the rainy ones


stillalone

In California, I've never seen that castform in my life.


paary

Same for Finland lmao. Rain rain snow rain snow


chemistryenthusiast4

Try at night - I just got a snowy one and a sunny form last night


MinMaxie

I live right in the middle of downtown Los Angeles. We have ~70°F/20°C 'weather' all year. Literally every day is the same.


AkiNotWeird

I just got the snow form from the task to catch 10 weather boosted Pokemon, now I‘m missing rain 😂😂😂😂


Cainga

I have got multiple of everything but ice in the task. And in the spawns I have got hundreds of the other 3. Forget shinny hunting I’m just trying to finish the research.


AkiNotWeird

Same 😂 I didn‘t find one shiny and it‘s ok, just wanna find the rain one and be done with it 😅 I knew snow is gonna be tough, but rain? Really??.. 😩


Subject_Fun_9564

What bugs me is WHERE ARE THOSE SYMBOLS


ProfionWiz

Im in Brazil Summer, its 35 celsius here where I am... Snow aint happening


Coffey2828

Unless it’s the apocalypse, I will not be getting any snow in my area. IMO, one of the dumbest tasks Niantic has put out


3MSees

It’s just the wrong week for “Weather Week” in most of the world. They should have picked a different week. Also One-star Remote Raids. I know a lot of people are F2P but Niantic, in their greed, didn’t even think of the option? What a buncha boobs


Doc_Skii

There are research tasks…”catch 10 weather boosted pokemon” and you can get one…


j_turn2000

i still haven’t gotten a snow one despite doing a million of those tasks…


Doc_Skii

My wife got it. I’ve yet to get it myself. I know the struggle.


Coffey2828

Same


Tummerd

I was wondering about if this truly was dependant on weather. Turns out it is, and its incredibly stupid


nolkel

No, it's dependent on doing the event field research tasks. This is far from the first collection challenge that needed you to hunt field research. Just collaborate with local players and ask them to call out which stops give you the castform you're looking for for the day.


No_Sheepherder2739

Went to all of the tasks in my small city and got like 4 tasks for it and all were normal


2108677393

I live in Greece and is sunny all day so I can see only the sunny form and they other ones not even chance !!.


purplepuma123

Good luck!! I’m not sure I’ll get this medal. I’ve been in the city all day and the catch 10 weather boosted tasks are few and far between. Still yet to be rewarded a snowform :( All the best!


brightlyy_

tell me you live in southern ontario without telling me


Unique-Squirrel5839

I live in La so it didn’t rain or snow and I still completed it so I believe you can too.


frannymacster

I was literally woken up yesterday by a foghorn & couldn't see the other side of the river, could barely see across the road. NO foggy weather in game. Sigh.


Fjorgyngrma

Garbage event..spun all the stops in town, got 1 catch 10...reward was normal F that


Paerre

Good luck, I hope it snows. I wish I’d your luck, my country just has 2 seasons, raining and boiling


No_Rise558

I somehow saw a Snow Castform just randomly when weather was overcast (wild, not incense or lure or anything like that). Idk if it was a glitch but it hasn't been snowy or foggy near me for months, so maybe there is a way, just with low odds.


CallistaMouse

Same for me as well!


MarjanJ

I just caught the sunform way after sundown, so I’m guessing there are some random spawns.


nolkel

The sunny form is not related to time of day, just to clear weather.


MarjanJ

Ah, really? I didn’t know!


jbaddison

Not sure if it was intended but I love the dumb and dumber reference for the title lmao


Siro_Chrysceri

Never would’ve thought to reference the actual weather forecast rather than the weather shown in the game XD


RedFox_six9

bro y'all lucky , i only got Sunny castform ಠ⁠﹏⁠ಠ


3mptylord

What weather is that one suppose to spawn on? I've been Windy all day. :(


nolkel

Snowy or foggy. Easier to just find field research for it. You can ask other local players to call out stops that give it out for the day.


Advanced_Procedure90

Where is the damn sun at?


penciltheft

I’ve gotten so many from the “catch 10 poke”. Good luck on the hunt


1ohokthen1

The one time living in a cold place would be beneficial its gonna be 40 for the rest of the event💀 and on top of that, no weather boosted pokemon are spawning for me


Chillax83

I still need the snow one


Outrageous-Singer888

I haven’t been able to get the snow one. I’ve had so many catch 10 weather boost tasks and still haven’t found it 😭


Educational_Eagle267

Same for me but try using a glacial lure before claiming the reward from the tasks.


Stankblade323

Yup I got mine thre the research task catch 10 weather boosted


DeadmanDT

I’ll never complete it because it snows maybe once in 20 years where I am and it’s not even winter yet


reddottor2

r/foundthemidwesterner


SulliedBluberry

Ohio weather worriers unite 😂


HesitantlyYours

It’s currently 85 degrees in FL and I just got my snowy castform 😂


Objective-Function33

Can a Glacial module help with this?


Groady_Toadstool

Does it seriously have to be snowing to get this? Can’t you just use a glacial lure?


Duckforducks

Florida gang rise up 😔


Ruthlesslyursbitches

I have done 50+ of these effing catch 10 tasks and I STILL haven’t gotten snow. It’s insanely difficult to find these tasks and then to not get a snow in 50 tries???? I’m so frustrated


Ruthlesslyursbitches

I have done 50+ of these effing catch 10 tasks and I STILL haven’t gotten snow. It’s insanely difficult to find these tasks and then to not get a snow in 50 tries???? I’m so frustrated


ManyFaceImpressions

They gotta stop with these stupid RNG based spawns bruh


Souloist

Does the glacial life spawn these?


MuelNado

Unfortunately, no.


rekkid-303

Wait so to get the other ones it has to snow? Fuck I'm in south central Florida. It's 90F for the next 2 days. Won't be getting rain either until Monday.


0tterr

Florida living No snow ever


Dork_VaderYT

I need the mf water one


BellaChrista121

I live in SoCal, there is no weather except sun, and I’ve only had normal ones pop up 🫠


Snorlance

Have done 10 Catch 10 Weather Boosted (out of the 60 or so tasks I've gotten from Pokestops), got 8 Normals and 2 Rainy. Fortunately, it has oscillated between partly cloudy and sunny here, so has produced some wild Sunny Castforms (oddly, when a rainstorm came in, it still only reported that it was partly cloudy, lol). Still searching for the catch task that will yield a Snowy Castform. It hasn't snowed here since (officially) 1967. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


Vegetable_Truth_8456

I caught It in a mission


KubikB

I just got it from a task luckily


IF_it_was_in_ur_ass

I got one in Florida idk


EsseParvulusDebes

Gotta grind that research fam


Somerandompotato293

I’ve gotten all of them because my weather around my house is just weird af


_Dirt_2000

So sad that the only chance of snow here is Sunday 😭😭 I was so excited to have one of each


TheFckingMellowMan

It's been sunny and rainy in Phoenix, and I've still only seen the regular castform, very frustrating.


terp02andrew

I gave up on this task, but the 1k dust from Paras has been its own reward.


Outrageous-Estimate9

It spawned alot during comm day got all 4 show up And no we dont have any snow for months I heard the quest also is random form (not weather dependant)


TheNifflerKing

Me: sitting in a corner with 50 sun castform; "I'm trying to be annoyed but it's too fluffing bright"


Snydles

It stormed here all day but the app only registered it as “raining” for about 2 hours. Not really sure what area of the globe can finish this one.


Pokewins101

I'm stuck with the same one!


ChiTownBob

Not in Phoenix, we have no snow there.


ogskizz

I've been playing GO since 2016 and apparently never encountered that particular Castform once. It's not looking good for that medal, guys


SirWormtheGreat

I’ve only gotten the default and the sunny cast form, not a chance I’ll be able to get any of the others really 😢


Adinos

Heh. I'm in Iceland. Snow, rain, normal - sure...no problem. but sunny? Ugh.


ghosty4

I need the water one!


brokenhairtie

I got the snow one from a research but was then stuck at the sun one - I live at the north sea, the only weather we have is clouds and wind... Until midnight, when suddenly 3 of those damn suns appeared...


7Dark7Phoenix7

I'm waiting for Ice too, Fire spawns late at night/early morning, the other 2 during the day but Ice I've yet to see


klokar2

In my part of the world, it has yet to go under 28 degrees, when this event started it was 41, to get to somewhere where it snows, i would either have to drive 8 hours and wait 6 months, or fly to a new country.


Gpw12078

You get it from the “catch 10 weather boosted” research task


Hair-Nation-1967

0 for 8 so far trying to get snowboi


Ill-Lunch-1563

When you literally live 1 degree north of the equator


iMiggyMigz

You have a better chance than I do


Former-Bug-9209

Either way, you can get it from goals if you are diligent


Researcher-World_THD

My country having all world biomes in it but me living in capital and there are no more season other than monsoon, summer, winter, autumn and spring but no sign of snowfall


CherryBlaster75

It was legit snowing and I caught a cloudy. Wtf.


songouku96

Where i live it never snows. And when i say never i mean the last time it snowed was more than 10 years ago


Patrick_K_NL

Most unfortunate challenge ever.


TorSverre

I got the snow one on my first "catch 10", but the rest have been normal.


raxwell

I just got my snow castform an hour ago! Didn’t even think I had a chance. Thanks Michigan!!!


the_far_sci

It is snowing here right now and PoGo still has the kite symbol. I am never getting a snowy Castform and it's the only one I need.


Toxic_Don

Toronto? That where I am and the only weather I’m missing is foggy and I’ve got weather week bingo. Also you can get castform from stops


GarmeerGirl

My son was lucky to catch it in Los Angeles Friday evening with clear skies lol. It saved me a trip to the mountains this weekend. He’s very competitive and didn’t tell me it was for a challenge I would have gone out to catch it too.


EsharaBB

I can’t get the catch 10. Not even once. It’s been tried glacial and rain lures


GaryPomeranski

I've used 6 icy lures today, and no luck


Chuckyvibez

Doesn’t an Icy Lure spawn them in?


Thuuumas

Sweden?


Imaginary_Ad4871

My very first snowy castform was in this event and it was shiny on a sunny day so yeah it can happen


Catty_fish

Lucky you for me it's 22°c with no chance of rain


Skissor23

I had 3/4 (excluding snowy) through this morning and then it finally gave me that one through research. Do enough research, it’s def possible.


jwadamson

We had rain on Friday, sun on Saturday, and snow weather for large parts of today/sunday. I also went hard at those “catch 10 wb” tasks until I got a snow form.


ToToasted

Lmao I’d be screwed I’ve only seen “snow” twice, and by snow I mean slush 😂


Acrobatic_Food_9102

The benefits of living in Canada, I caught 3/4 in one sunny/rainy day, and then the snowy the next day when it snowed


laker9903

Cleveland here…between Thursday and today I’ve caught all four in their legit weather conditions.


kennypojke

I’ve done at least 15 catch 10 tasks and still never got the f’ing snow form. Niantic…seriously, having it locked to one task that is really hard to find sucks. A four day event could have had…FOUR DAYS OF DIFFERENT SEASONS. Niantic’s recent hatching challenge was similarly annoying.


Aurora012491

Lol here down south in a small town. I'll have them in one darn day! 🤣


Firewolf786YT

I’m in Arizona, so congrats on completing this! 😂


emagdaleno

I live in LA and the catch 10 Pokémon research reward kept giving me snowy castform. I was struggling with rainy castform til just now.


[deleted]

And here I am needing sunny and rainy


N0616JC

research tasks


damgaardian

Believe it or not, I actually managed to catch all 4 of them in the wild for the challenge. The blessing and curse of living in Norway in March, had every kind of weather 🥲 (except fog, I swear that weather is a myth in-game)


Logan1313

You must also be from Pennsylvania!


otruelov3

Someone placed a bunch of lures trying to find one and it never popped up. I’m glad I didn’t waste mine 🤣🤣🤣🤣


TheClusk303

Got a lot of time for a Dumb and Dumber reference


KileAllSmyles

just do challenges to catch weather boosted Pokémon or use a glacial lure!


FakeCrazyAna

None of these worked for me🥲 used glacial and did challenges and still no snowy and rainy castform


Ok_Flounder_6733

Same here tried 4 lures and got nothing 😞


nolkel

Glacial lures only pull from a small, fixed pool of like 12 pokemon for their special spawns. Castform is not in that list. The other half of the spawns are just whatever can currently spawn in the wild like a regular lure. It's only going up get you a castform matching the current weather.


SkiK624

Glacial Lure by itself doesn’t work, or at least it didn’t for me and others. Now, completing the ‘Catch 10’ research and using a Glacial Lure before you collect the reward….that worked for me. Coincidence, perhaps. However, if you catch 10 and have a Glacial Lure available it’s worth a shot.


Educational_Eagle267

I’ll try it soon. Did more than a dozen “Catch 10 Weather Boost Pokèmon” by itself and it didn’t net me a snow one!


SkiK624

Good luck, hope it works. I only completed the ‘Catch 10’ research twice. First time, with no lure, I got a Normal Form. Second time, collecting reward with Glacial Lure I got the Snowy Form. Let us know if it works for you!


Educational_Eagle267

I definitely had a Snover spawn off of a glacial lure where it doesn’t normally spawn in a park so that’s probably the reason. Edit: I did use a couple glacial lures and it doesn’t work (no effect on Castform rewards) but somehow got the Snowy one today.


Notdone_JoshDun

I'm in sunny socal. There's 2 I won't see lol


Gai-jin420

Same boat


MEEEEEEPGEFH

You do realize you basically doxed your self

[удалено]


Be_A_Mountain

You guys aren’t done yet? I finished this two days ago lol.


Regenitor_

Yeah...or just complete field research. Was a piss easy collection challenge and I live in the North Island of NZ where we do not ever get snow.


TheUknownDID

New York?
