I did complete my EU pokedex yesterday, got hitmonlee while walking in the next town to my home, was lvl1 CP15 but so what. At the evning, well moving from one gym to the next it started rain, first ice then iced water than just water - because I had depleted phone battery earlier I was on the backup. Later at home when the phone was on wall charge, already some 30 minutes later, I did hear the phone to make psssss sound like a snake - It did wonder me a lot as I had my phone fully muted. I checked and yes there was sound/noise coming from the phone! I pulled the microUSB cable out, and did see light inside the connector. For some unexplained reason I did push my thumb onto the connector covering up the light coming from it... and felt smell of burned skin of course. The phone still works, I am amazed. TL;DR Be warned, water and electro do not go together, do not charge your phone when walking in rain.
