Do castform change in weather created by other pokemon (Rain Dance, Sunny Day, etc.)?

In a word … yes! Castform’s transformations are dependent on atmospheric conditions, regardless of how they’re generated. Some trainers use this to their advantage by pairing their castform up with a pokémon that can evoke the weather associated with the form of castform they want to use.

Hey! I live in unova and apparently there’s a hurricane coming. My main partner is a castform and he seems to want to be outside all the time I’ve never seen him this eager. I’m afraid he might get hurt with the strong winds any tips on how to make him want to be indoors ?

First and foremost, my sincerest wishes for your safety, anonymous!

With that in mind, keeping a castform indoors is a common problem for castform trainers, but it’s an easy one to solve. Start off by covering up the windows (which you’ll likely do anyway for a hurricane) or moving your castform into a room without any windows to begin with. While castform can sense weather, they’re actually easily convinced to stay inside if they can’t see the weather outside. Reinforced this with distractions—toys, treats, and so forth. Keep your castform as occupied as possible at all times.

If all else fails, use its poké ball. Poké balls are designed for not only the capture and transport of pokémon but also the easy recall of them in dangerous situations. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using your castform’s if he seems agitated or liable to escape, even if you’ve taken measures to keep him inside.

Good luck, anonymous, and stay safe!

Castform

Castform
The Weather Pokémon
Type: Normal
Official Registration #: 351
Entry: Castform are foot-tall pokémon that have the ability to use the power of nature to protect itself. More specifically, its appearance and type changes based on the weather, and as such, it can be used as an effective natural meteorologist. For example, on days when your castform appears to be a fire-type with a hood shaped like a bright, red sun, expect a particularly bright and sunny day. On days when your castform appears to be a water-type with a hood shaped like a water droplet, expect rain. When your castform is an ice-type with a head shaped like a swirling cloud, that indicates snow or hail. And when your castform is blown away from you before you can figure out what type of hood it’s wearing, you are outside during a typhoon, and this is most inadvisable.
