The storm “Sabine” is raging over Germany and causing fear and terror. For players in Pokémon GO, the hunt for dragon Pokémon begins in such weather. However, something seems to be stuck at the moment.
This is the storm: The cyclone Sabine has swept across Germany since Sunday afternoon. The storm has caused chaos in air and rail traffic, and there have already been several injuries in Germany.
However, such weather is always special for fans of Pokémon GO. Then the weather in Pokémon GO turns windy. According to the game, rare dragon Pokémon come out in such weather. They make the hunt interesting.
Players are desperately searching for dragon Pokémon
This is how the weather works in the game: Niantic uses real-world weather data in Pokémon GO. So if it rains, it also rains in the game – at least in most cases.
The same applies to the wind. When the storm Sabine is raging, it is also windy in Pokémon GO.
These benefits come from the weather: Depending on the weather condition, different types of Pokémon appear. In windy weather, there are 3 types that should appear more:
- Dragon
- Flying
- and Psychic.
Especially the dragon Pokémon are interesting, as they are rarely found in Pokémon GO and are often quite good. Dratini, Shlength, or Kaumalat are hardly found in the game, and their evolutions are incredibly useful.
Pokémon GO asks trainers: Are you safe?
Windy weather attracts players: While the storm keeps many people indoors, the rare dragon Pokémon lure trainers outside.
However, one should not take a cyclone lightly. After all, Pokémon GO issues a weather warning. Before one can play, they must confirm that they are safe.
Where are all the dragon Pokémon? Many trainers are disappointed with the windy weather in the game. Although the dragon Pokémon are supposed to appear more often, they are not so frequently found.
While flying and psychic Pokémon appear more often in windy weather. Dragon Pokémon remain rare, which is currently being lamented by hundreds of players, for instance on reddit.
Additionally, the Sinnoh event in Pokémon GO is currently taking place. During this event, Pokémon from Generation 4 predominantly appear. The dragon Pokémon, which are already rare, are therefore even rarer.
So is it worth playing in the storm? If you are looking for dragon Pokémon, you won’t really find any even now during the storm. Generally, the windy weather does not spawn dragon Pokémon as often as Pokémon GO promises. Additionally, the current event further reduces these chances.
The storm is not expected to pass until Tuesday. Until then, everyone should decide for themselves whether to actually go on a Pokémon hunt or to wait until the storm is over.
In any case, trainers should take the warning from Pokémon GO seriously and only go out to catch them all if they are truly safe as trainers.
