Trivia
When Castform undergoes a weather-based transformation, the graphical interlude is the same as that of a Pokémon using the move Transform.
Origin
It appears to be intended to resemble and act like a living cloud.
Name origin
Castform's name seems to be a combination of forecast, predict the weather, and transform, referring to its ability to change type depending on the weather. The German and French names refer to this also.
