A Pokémon Go trainer was mocked by the community after questioning the wisdom of braving the cold to try to capture a rare monster.
As an ongoing service game, Pokémon Go constantly receives updates and new content throughout the year. This means that whether it’s sunny or freezing temperatures, wild Pokémon are still roaming around.
Because Pokémon Go requires players to go out and explore their surroundings, trainers must be mindful of the weather outside when going out to play.

However, when a rare Pokémon is in play, some fans will do almost anything to get it. This was the case when a trainer asked the community if it was worth pursuing a Charizard despite the freezing winter temperatures.
A Pokémon Go fan braves the cold to capture a rare monster
The Pokémon Go community had a fun encounter with a fan who posted to the game’s subreddit and said: “It’s 5 degrees outside. Is it worth it?” The trainer included a screenshot of a nearby Charizard.
Many trainers teased the worried Pokémon Go player that 5 degrees wasn’t that cold and that the Drattak was worth the effort.

“Not common, but 5 degrees isn’t so bad come on!” said one fan, while another joked: “I would go out in shorts and sandals, yes it’s worth it.”
Some have even noted the irony of the Dragon-type Drattak hiding in freezing temperatures, due to its weakness to the Ice-type. “How can a Dragon-type Pokémon, which is weak to Ice, be in such a cold environment?!”
According to comments left by the author, he actually ended up braving the cold temperatures to capture the Drattak. And while they succeeded, the Dragon-type Pokémon apparently wasn’t that impressive.

The trainer noted that Drattak was a 2-star Pokémon with “environ 1350 PC.” While the Pokémon may not have been exceptional, it certainly got a fun story to tell.
