I just evolved 6 flareons in a row?

Before I evolve another one did something change ? I really wanted a vaporeon on one of those. Was it reallly be rng that I just experienced?

Did you evolve any Fire Spin / Overheat bad boys? Apparently that's one of the best straight up DPS pokemon now, although I haven't personally evolved one yet so I don't know

It's random... about 3 weeks ago, I evolved I think... 8, out of those, all but one became jolteons... the other one, became a flareon, last sunday I evolved 2, the first became a vaporeon... the one I didn't want to be a vaporeon because it was like lvl 10, the other one became another jolteon.... sigh...

The odds of getting 6 Flareons in a row is 0.032%. Being 20% to the power of five (not six).

I once got 3 Alakazams (by evolution) with the exact same moves, 3 in a row. The odds of that happening is supposed to be extremely extremely low.

I, too, sometimes question the "R" of RNG.

Shouldn't Flareon probability be 33% still? And could you elaborate on why the power isn't 6?
AFAIK you need to walk the eevees in order to get them umbreons and espeons.

Yeah, 33% is correct. And the reason for the power of 5 is because he/she is calculating the odds of the successive evolutions being repeats of the first one, so the first one isn't counted in that.

My mistake, I didn't know that about Espeon and Umbreon.

Hence, the odds should be 33% to the power of 5.

Over the entirety of the player base, evolutions are equally distributed & thus appear random.
But you do have to wonder if something in the coding of individual accounts could influence evolutions, causing them to be weighted to something more specific.

I personally believe that eeveelutions are not random. Ive seen hundreds of reports like this, with people getting the same eeveelution over an over.

I got three Steel Wing/ Hyperbeams in a row for 'nite so yeaaaaahhhhh... I think if there was a way to see the coding on my particular account, something in there would say "cursed."

With that being said, as another reply stated, I heard FS/ OH was a bastard of a move set...

would anyone be opposed to bringing in evolution stones? evolving would be harder...suppose they can always leave the random aspect of it...

Yep that happens, once got like 8-9 flareons in a row, and like 12 out of 15. I got pretty mad at Niantic.

Keep evolving them tho. After that wave of flareons I got a few vaps in a row, they're now well over 2900CP.
