The [[weather]] in the Wild Area varies between areas, and each area changes weather when the date changes. The weather determines which [[wild Pokémon]] can appear, and may cause certain weather conditions and [[terrain]] to appear in battle.
The [[weather]] in the Wild Area determines which [[wild Pokémon]] can appear and, in some cases, which weather conditions and [[terrain]] appear in battle. The weather varies between subareas, and while neighboring subeareas can share the same weather, the weather in each is independently determined. However, since [[symbol encounter]]s and [[wanderer]]s spawn based on the weather currently experienced by {{player}}s, it is possible for the weather of one subarea to affect these spawns in another subarea if players are near the border between them. The weather across the entire Wild Area changes each day at midnight, based on the console's clock.  


Thunderstorms, blizzards, sandstorms, and fog are rarer than other weather conditions. If these weather conditions are occurring anywhere in the Wild Area, this fact will be advertised on the X menu.
Common weather conditions include Clear, Cloudy, and Rain. If any subareas on a given day have one of the rarer weather conditions (such as Thunderstorm, Blizzard, Sandstorm, or Fog), the X menu will announce that these conditions are present. On certain special dates, the whole Wild Area will have the same weather. These dates are typically the first of a month.


Sandstorms, blizzards, and fog will not appear until the player has reached certain points in the games. If they would appear in the Wild Area, they instead appear as intense sun, snow, or clear (respectively). Once the player unlocks the weather, any instances of it that would have appeared immediately become that weather (even without changing the date). The restrictions for foggy weather are not present in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]].

Since [[symbol encounter]]s and [[wanderer]]s are spawned based on the weather the player is currently experiencing, it is possible for the weather of one zone to affect these types of spawns in another zone near a border.

===Prerequisites===
Some weather conditions will only begin to appear in the Wild Area after {{player}}s have reached certain milestones in the game. Before players have unlocked these weather conditions, subareas that would have had them instead have a specific replacement weather condition. These replacement conditions are changed to the original condition immediately after players reach the appropriate milestone, even if the weather would not yet have reset otherwise.
* Sandstorm: Unlocks after visiting [[Hammerlocke]] and is replaced by Harsh sunlight
* Blizzard: Unlocks after visiting Hammerlocke and is replaced by Snow
* Fog: Unlocks after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} and is replaced by Clear
The restrictions for Fog are not present in the [[Isle of Armor]] or the [[Crown Tundra]].
