“I mean, is this the team's choice? Is there something related to Level 5 trainers? Help me find an answer, and I'll give you a berry too!”

But the players quickly realized this “It's sad to think that when this Drattak is kicked out of the arena, he'll basically be wiped out.” Many players praised the Pokémon being virtually eliminated by the game under the circumstances.
“Let's pretend he's just been released into the wild to fly with his Dratac comrades,” One player answered, while another suggested: “It's okay, he'll go back into the wild to be caught by anyone close to the guy who deleted his account. I'm sure he doesn't just disappear.”

It is still unknown whether the Drattak was released into the wild to increase the reproductive rate at this location. Niantic has not confirmed the cause of the Arena training error, but it was reasonably common and is widely believed to be the result of an account that no longer exists.
