"Pokemon Go" brings in exciting new rewards for the Weather Week Event this March 24-29. Certain Pokemons will appear more often in the wild, eggs, raids, and research amid the rain and windy weather conditions.
The Weather Week is the first of its kind, and there are a few things you need to keep in mind to make the most out of it.
