How often do rare sunrise/sunsets occur?

[Pokemanz]

I believe I've seen the orange sunset at least once, and it was beautiful!

I might've seen the sunrise one too, can't remember.
But why do they have to be "rare"?!

I used to save my dream town during a sunset all the time. I did that I think around 5 times now. I love it and I'm waiting for another one although my town saved with cherry blossoms is also nice. I've only seen the sunrise once before during the summer of last year since I don't often stay up that late.

My friend saved hers on early morning with the red sky, which is a different type of sky that's also rare. So far i think it's only happened about 2-3 times for her since the game launched. It usually meant that sometime during the rest of the day a storm would be coming. The whole river would turn a nice reddish purple hue.

whoa, I cant remember ever seeing either of those! Theyre really pretty, I wanna save my dream address with the purple sunrise on o:

It happened last night while I sat on the bench with one of the villagers. Kept getting invites to sit down and enjoy it.

I've only ever seen orange/red and good lord does it hurt my eyes. I'd love to see a purple-ish one!

 

[orchidflesh]

How beautiful!
i sadly don’t think i’ve ever seen one though, which bums me out

But from now on, i’ll definitely be paying more attention to the subrises and sunsets in the game! if i have ever seen one, I guess I just figured it was normal!

I never knew about these and I assume I missed them if they actually happened while I was playing.

Here's a few more.I'm not sure how often these sunsets/sunrises occur.I think they appear randomly.

Dang, those are stunning! Thinking of how sunsets and sunrises indicate upcoming weather and are sometime caused by other phenomenon in nature, is it possible that the developers added these to help players know what future weather is like (or could it be more complicated than that)? Here's a interesting article I found about sunsets and sunrises: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-11/how-to-predict-good-sunrise-and-sunset/9737446

@cavity yeah, I was planning to have my final dream address at 6am in the first place for the music...I'd love to catch the purple sunrise, it's perfect for my purple/white/yellow theme!! <3
I find it incredible I'm still finding out new things about this game.

I didn't realize that rare sunrise/sets were a thing...

Bumping this thread. No need to make a new one.

I kind of need the rare sunset for my town, but at the same time, I don't want it before it's done.

Oh whoa, I did not even know this existed! I never play around sunrise though, so that might be hard to come by..

 

[carackobama]

I’ve never seen these before! They look so pretty, I hope I can catch one in my town one day <3

 

[Snowesque]

I use to see the sunsets all the time when I would play regularly in the evening.
I have seen the purple sunrise maybe a handful of times however. It makes the water look lovely.

 

[Lucas4080]

I never knew these existed!
Now I have more of a purpose to wake up early to see the sunrise and play later for the sunset!

 

[moonbyu]

HOLY MOLY! The rare sunset looks absolutely stunning! I haven't gotten any of these yet but, I would really love to have one!

 

[auroral]

Oh, these are super pretty! I didnt even know this was a thing that could happen, though I feel like I must've seen the rare sunset before... Still, that sunrise is so a e s t h e t i c, now I have motivation to play early in the morning so I can maybe snap some cute pics of it!
