Is anyone really seeing (more) Larvitar?
I've never seen one... should I just hope to during the event?
I know a place that tends to spawn a bit more rare mons, and always has plenty of magnemite and voltorb (electric, amusement park biome?), should I take a trip there?

I live in a non-water biome and MANY here have still never seen a wild dratini in over 10 months of play. Glad Niantic did an event for gen 2's sudo legendary after only a few months before doing gen 1's! Couldn't stand the thought of everyone else having to wait as long to get tyranitar as we've had to (still) wait to evolve a dragonite I guess. As if it wasn't hard enough that gyarados is the only 400 candy evolve in the game (and nothing is even close to that) and after the water event, we all had enough candy to evolve 1 (maybe 2 of you really grinded) and they could've just done rhyhorn for this event and call that more than fair cuz they're only 50 candies (1/8th a gyarados cost) and they have higher cp than gyarados, they had to throw in larvitar to boot. Thanks for the middle finger Niantic!
Based off the feed I use Larvitar spawns seem to be about 3-5 times more frequent than pre event. The rate of Tyranitar seems to have gone down mayb and with Pupitar I am not too sure at this time. Will know better after the weekend but I imagine they are making server side adjustments today if not throughout the weekend.
Not seen one since Gen 2 released, plus I was on when the event had just started, despite the supposed glitch causing an increase in Larvitar spawns, and still haven't seen one even on the nearby list.
Are spawns maybe related to biomes? The valentines event seemed to be, with certain players seeing tons of Chansey (I didn't see a single one during the event), while others only seeing crap like Lickitung, Clefairy, and so on.
I caught 2 right when the event started, but have yet to see another.
I only need 10 more candies to get my first T-rex (and my final gen2 short of regionals and unown) so I started walking my 100% IV Lapras thinking I would get plenty of larvitar. Since I haven't seen anymore, I switched buddy to larvitar again.
