For example, the Rock-type Pokemon Roggenrola, which has water as a weakness, is more likely to be found when the weather is partly cloudy as a part of the Weather Week event.
Niantic was kind enough to enlist the Pokemon and the weather in which the likelihood of spotting them is increased. The feature Pokemons are Cacnea, who will be spotted more in Sunny weather; Lotad, who will be spotted more in Rainy weather; Snover in Snow; Roggenrola in partly cloudy, Spritzee in Cloudy; Swablu in Windy, and Gastly in Fog.

On completing Field Research Tasks in-game, regardless of the weather conditions, players can encounter Paras, Castform in Normal, Sunny and Rainy, Drifloon, Helioptile, Amaura, and rarely, a Snowy Castform.
