I evolved my fourth arcanine and second gyarados. Twister and bulldoze again. That doesn't sound so out of the realm of possibility,BUT
4 arcanine: bulldoze
2 gyarados:twister
All 6 dragonite: SW
ALL THIRTEEN snorlax with no slam!

Sure SW/DP dragonite is great on defense, but it's an offensive Pokemon. Sure ZH/HB Snorlax is great on offense but it's a defensive Pokemon.

I get perfect movesets on mid tier mons all the time, but never these. Have they changed the odds to increase grinding time?

ZH/HB Snorlax is very great on defense too. Dragonites with SW/DP or SW/DC are very usefull, you will even stay in the middle/top of the gym and his high stats turn him a beast. About ur Arcanines and Gyaradoses really sad, but any Vaporeon can do better than Gyarados so i would be sad just cuz of the dogs.

Oh I know, I think hyper beam is on par with slam. I just wanted to fully upgrade one of each. I've got a TON(over200)of snorlax candy saved up. Just think it's odd I haven't got one yet.

I'm a huge dragonite defender fan. It's just I have so many defenders and no top tier attackers. I keep getting dragonites with the EXACT same moveset. I was jumping for joy for my first sw/dp, then second. But I can't keep more than two upgraded.

I just figured they read the tier lists put out by players and changed the odds. I guess I just have really odd luck getting backwards movesets on attacking/defending mons and just plain shit luck with arcanine and gyarados.

Dude, my condolences. Me and my GF together evolved 6 arcanine together and none had bulldoze. We evolved 8 gyrados together and only one had twister. But...we both evolved 6 dragonite. Only ONE had dragon breath. I really thought certain movesets are more prevalent especially with dragonite, but some have had other experiences.

Feeling lucky now...evolved just one Dragon 91.1% IV and got DB/DP. Its a monster to take down gyms.

It's been proved that the odds are the same for every moveset, sorry for your bad luck.
This is a big problem tho, some moves are just so bad on some pokemons... like, you can have a vaporeon, venusaur or even poliwrath that can roll good moves and not so good moves and that's ok. Then you have moonblast vileplume, bulldoze arcanine, twister gyarados, icy wind seel/cloyster, gem power starmie that are just useless. Idk if it's bad balancing or they just want people to grind more but either way they should really change this.

I read wild Pokemon were random. Are hatched/evolved Pokemon random?

I've got icy wind cloyster and dp lapras(upgraded anyways, screw it not so bad)

Edit: looking at snorlax cps it looks like all hatched had lick earthquake. Caught had a mix of Zen/lick HB/eq. Hard to be 100 percent sure about 1 though

Ok.. I was about to feel bad for your Gyarados because that is such a long term investment, but then I saw you have THIRTEEN Snorlax?! WTF?! HOW?

I have hatched ~80 10-km eggs - ONE of them was a Snorlax, and I found one really crappy one in the wild. So, consider yourself extremely lucky. Also, who gives a damn about its moveset. It's a pain in the ass to defeat no matter what moves it has.

I think I've hatched 4 or 5. Caught the rest. Caught one today on a sidewalk by the lake while looking for dratini, that's what prompted this post.

I've said it many many times on here but it matters where you get eggs. I don't care what anyone else says.

Wild Snorlax are a dream for some of us.

I've got three Bite/Bulldoze Arcanine, and had five Evees in a row evolve to Jolteon. I'm sure someone is pinching my good luck :-)
