Pokemon Go is still holding on to its status as the craze of the summer and lots of sports teams are hitching their wagon to the popular app, which is driving millions to hit the streets in search of the pocket monsters.

While some stadiums have opened themselves up on off days to those hunting Pokemon, the Phillie Phanatic attempted to catch a Pikachu in between innings as Philadelphia hosted the Marlins.

Unfortunately, the bumbling Phanatic was too busy staring at his iPad to notice the Pikachu right in front of his face, instead bowling into an official in the outfield and falling over.

The Phillies were equally unlucky during the game as the team lost 2–1 to its division rivals.
