Evolution Items drop rate below %1
Does anyone else think Niantic needs to increase the drop rate of evolution items? From what I've read, it's currently below %1!!! That's ridiculous!! I mean, they should at least change it to the % rate of 10k eggs right?? I play everyday and spin at least 100 stops daily. I have received one "upgrade" item. That's it...Just like other trainers I racked up a ton of Oddi, Horsea, Onix, Slowpoke and Poli candy to evolve them into Gen 2 and I can't, super frustrating. I get the rarity factor, but they should at least be ubtainable! Lol..
Any Trainers having better luck then me?

I've got a bit more than some of you here, but I think it's fine. They are meant to be rare and none of the evolutions you get from them are very important anyways. I think it's a fun new way to collect in the game.
In the 2-3 weeks since gen2 I got 7 items (2 scales, 2 metals, 2 King's rocks, 1 sun stone). This is the same as the total number of Dragonite + Chansey + Snorlax + Lapras (2+3+2+0) I've got/evolved In the ~7 months since the game started. So for urban players, I don't really think they can be called "rare", more uncommon. For rural players, yes...
