All Rhyhorns are turd burglars
For some reason any wild Rhyhorns I catch that happen to be a high level (in the 1100-1300 cp range) always turn out to be either "Not likely to make headway" or at best "Above average". Is there a pokemon out there for you where you see a decent amount of high level ones in the wild (or at least during events) but can't find a good one?

Spheal.
I have caught about 400 of them, and being in a place with regular Snow, about 100 of them were Level 31+. Of that 100, only 1 ended up being 82%+, and only 2 had Attack of 15 (which did NOT include the one that was 82%+).
And Rhyhorn. Same boat as you with Rhyhorn; I've caught about 20 in this event so far over 1000cp, and every one of them has been meh. But "R"NG will turn for me, and I'll catch that Perfect Level 35 one of these days! (probably the same day I win an actual lottery... better buy those tickets!)
Not really enough candy, and it's pretty rare. I've seen more anorith than lileep. So if it's that rare might as well wait on evolving it. It may be irrelevant to the meta, but I'm seeking a 15 attack version before evolving. Might be useful later on, or when my main team's down and I'm out of revives.
Abras are probably one of the only Pokemon I’ve actually caught upwards of 2-300 among meta relevant Pokemon. The only other one is Geodudes but I have a handful of 91%+ that don’t get used because of the raid bosses now but Rhyhorn feels worthless at times. I’ve gotten at least 12 that had 1450+ CP that were only decent. I have about 6-7 Rhydons that are good but only one has a good moveset so hopefully Rhyperior will be king
Having the same problem with pretty much any Pokemon I encounter. Oddish, Rhyhorn, Poliwag, Magikarp, Abra, Exeggcute, any of the Kanto starters during the event, Spheal. Two notable exceptions are Machop and the Nidorino-couple.
I guess it makes sense statistically speaking, but it's quite frustrating.
In the few cases I had "wonders", such as my hatched Dratinis, I got terrible movesets at the end of the evolution line and after spending 250 hard-earned Dratini candies.
Yesterday I did catch a 100% Wailmer, but at very low level (stardust cost 400) and knowing my luck the moves I'll be getting post-evolution will suck.
