In Pokémon GO, weather is a major factor to consider. It is possible to observe rain, snow, sun, wind, or even mist — and these weather conditions will influence the Pokémon available in the game.
What effect does the weather have on the Pokémon you encounter?
- Pokémon boosted by the weather found in the wild will have better IVs and be of a higher level,
- Weather-boosted Pokémon found in Raids will be of a much higher level,
- Pokémon attacks such as Ember, for example, will benefit from 20% increased damage depending on the weather,
- Stardust is increased when you capture a weather-boosted Pokémon.
