Only Trapinch in 10K eggs
Trapinch has hatched from my last 7 10K eggs in a row. Is this a glitch or is Trapinch seriously that common? Has this happened to anyone else? There seems like no statistical way that this should happen. Such a lack of payoff to go 10K and only get another stupid Trapinch.

Nope. I have the same problem. It's just RNG. There's gotta be some bad mons in 10km or else Niantic won't make as much from it as they would have.
It really get's me thinking on the possibility of Trapinch dropping from 10km pool once more Gen 4 Pokes get released. The issue is though, Vibrava/Flygon are Dragon types, and they clearly don't want us getting easy access to dragon types even if they may be terrible.
Yep. "R"NG. That's all this is. And while I haven't had the "R"NG this bad, I've almost always gotten cluster eggs in the past year or 18 months. Just this week I hatched 5 5km eggs - 3 of them were Torchic.
It's great when I'm hatching 3 Dratini's (prior to Dratini CD) or 3 Larvitars (even now) in a group. It SUCKS when it's Trapich or Sudowoodo. (I hatched 4 Sudowoodo out of 9 10km eggs the first time I tried to hatch 9 eggs at a time. And every one was under 80% IV!)
I really wish that Niantic would adjust their "R"NG to be more "R" than it currently is.
