Legit entire Unown collection
Most of us trackers, sure. But how many have ever seen an Unown on a tracker? And from those who have, have you been able to catch it? Has anyone been able to legitimately catch all 26 variations of Unown? I've never seen ONE outside the Yokohama event. Heard talks of some people apparently getting the whole collection, but I call bull. Not with these odds.
Imagine if legendary Pokemon were anywhere near this rare.

I've managed to catch 3 with a ToS breaking scanner. There was another in my area that I missed. Another small handful randomly in the middle of the ocean , although in range of the scanner too.
In my very small playing area there has been maybe 10 spawns since they dropped. I doubt anyone had a complete legitimate collection. Those that do are more likely to have teleported around the world for them, then to have actually gone out and found them. Even using a scanner it would take some amount of luck.
During the first event there was a bug which was exploitable, such that one player could get a random unown letter each time.
The person with this knowledge only decided to share the information after the glitch had been fixed. This was one-way to obtain the entire collection.
I've never seen an unown on a tracker, but that's because I don't use trackers. We have an unown group telegram which helps me big time. Every now and then someone shares a location.
I have a few times. I'm on various chats on both Discord and Facebook messenger, where people will tip off a few hundred people in the local community if they see one. I have never happened to find one myself, but I've been tipped off perhaps five times. Twice I was too late, but three times I caught it.
Also, I've been at two events (with EUROPE and SAFARI). All in all, enough to have an Unown silver medal. Still 15 Unown left to catch though...
I have caught 9 unique unowns in the events in the summer and 3 different other unique unowns outside of events. The probability of catching 26 unowns after 26 wild encounters is very, very low. Its actually (26/26)*(25/26)*(24/26) etc... till *(1/26). Youve caught 25 unique unowns, well, goodluck finding that last unique one.
