Tauros are extinct in the wild, I'm afraid. They were mostly wiped out by the Great Natu Scourge of Winter, 2017, though some stragglers were reported (unconfirmed, alas) as being seen in the Wild as late as August of 2017. Since August 2017, however, even fleeting sightings of the formerly ubiquitous Tauros have dried up, and they are officially extinct in the wild.
Let's have a moment of silence for those three tailed bulls.
(have the other Regionals gone extinct in the Wild too, or is that just something with the Tauros? Seriously, I used to see so many I ignored them before Gen 2 came out. I caught about 140 in the first 3 months, and if I've caught 5 in ALL of 2017 I'd be amazed it's that high. I haven't even seen one on my radar since the Legendary Raids began.)
Kangaskhan is dropping in numbers but can still be found.
When Gen2 came out, his catch/flee rate seemed to changed and he became much easier to hit with a Pokeball. Prior to that he was hard to hit (like DNite used to be) and would get out regularly - basically he wasa ball hog.
Once Gen2 dropped he became significantly easier to catch, and the chance of spotting one didn't change.
Over time he has become less prevalent but he is still around.
I suspect he was kept fairly common as he had been so painful to catch prior to the changes, but is now falling in line with other reports of regionals for 'rarity'
229 caught, seen 242.
I have a grand total of 0 legendaries.
Still missing Venusaur (will evolve an Ivysaur if I get a Wonder one with 15 attack at least).
Primeape (waiting for Mankey nest).
Farfetch'd, Heracross, Corsola, Kangaskhan & Tauros (because I'm in Europe and Romania wasn't on the list when regionals were out in it)
Dodrio (waiting for Doduo nest)
Snorlax (so many 10km eggs hatched but no snoozy yet)
Togetic (not enough Togepi candy).
Belossom (waiting for Oddish nest)
Sunflora (waiting for Sunkern nest)
Espeon (need a good Eevee)
Unown (none caught, seen a few in gyms)
Delibird (hopefully will be out by Christmas)
Smeargle (no idea when)
The rest of gen 3 (hopefully this December).
I caught unown with the help of a scanner. Other than the unreleased and regionals(other than Corsola) I have caught em all without the use of a scanner.
I walked a lot of 'useless' mons for entries and I don't regret it at all. I was very happy to evolve my second Ampharos (moderately junk stats) just to have male and female registered in the dex. Plenny of candy on standby if I choose to power up and evolve my 95% Me feel. Low priority with a maxed Raikou, Zapdos, and Volteon.
