Anyone else getting silly weather 'mons?
In the past 48 hours, I have caught 6 Eevees in the lv34-35 range and evolved 4 Flareons, 1 Vaporeon, and 1 Jolteon, with plans to use a future catch for an Espeon. Their IVs aren't the best, ranging from 70-85, and most have Flamethrower rather than Overheat, but the opportunity cost on them was virtually 0 as I still have nearly 2000 Eevee candy and didn't even spend 1 stardust getting them up. Heck, worst-case I now have several more 'mons to defend gyms!
Has anyone else been enjoying these downright silly spawn levels? What ridiculous catches have you made?

The best one I've caught so far was a 93% level 35 Gastly that is now my best Gengar, at 2409 CP. (A few hours later, I just caught a 93% level 35 Shroomish too, now a Breloom that's pretty much better than any of the Machamps I've ever gotten.)
And here's something else I just caught that's a different kind of silly.
Past 48 hours have caught 2 Level 34 Geodudes. One is either an 84% or 87% IV that I’m saving for trade bait since it has a 15 Attack and that’s the only “important” stat according to most players. Also caught a Level 34 93% 14/15/13 Geodude and evolved it right away.
Sucks how some of our old Pokémon we’ve invested so many resources are getting easily replaced by these weather buffed ones. It’s now my 2nd highest CP Golem at the cost of only 125 candies.
It’s a win/win now for everyone that never powered anything up past level 30 cause they still have all that stockpile of stardust from not maxing anything out since the cost to level 30 is nothing like the cost of level 35-40.
I expect a nerf soon. I’ve caught some L35 magikarp and Pinsirs in the rain, and L35 machops, Hariyama, and bulbasaurs in the clouds. I even got a 100 IV, L34 Minun!
Candies are plentiful too. I’ve caught about 30 machops with pinaps since the weather feature started. They are more common than pidgeys.
Too bad my weather just alternates between rain and clouds. I need a partly cloudy day before the nerf comes.
