What is going on? Dratini candies...
What is going on in this game? After grinding Dratini candies for months and bare luck today I got 90 (!) candies and on top a Dragonite. First 1 Dratini hatched from an egg I got from a pokestop. Then I saw a Dragonite spawning right behind the graveyard. Cought it with 2400 CP. After that I did a walk beside the local river and cought 5 (!) Dratini within 2 hours, each with pinupberry. And to top that I hatched another egg with a Dratini. Then I cought a mareep. Just luck or did they increase Dratini spawns and eggs?

Could be luck. Although I have experienced an increase in rare Pokemon in the wild, last 2 days I caught a wild Lapras, Rhydon, Electabuzz and a Bulbasaur and I'm not really an active player, plus these Pokemon basically never spawn in my usual biome. I just had the app open as I was walking.
It's not much evidence to go on, we could both just be lucky.
Congratz, the only dragon I've found so far, a month ago, was a Dratini but it's not really maxed in any stat. Just keeping it there until I find a better one.
I never tried soloing Electa, but I've lost a Quilava after 11 premier balls, and that was before the nerf. But I've heard they only lowered capture rate for the eevee trio and Lapras, Snorlax and one other L4 mon.
At least there are nests in most parks around here. There's an island that spawns 4 Bulbasaurs per hour. And then there's a Houndour nest in a park next to my house. I report these park nests from my house since I can see them as they change during the migration.
