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?

Haha, I wish! I only have 2 Porygon and their not worth evolving.. Hopefully soon though..you think they'll let us trade from the "Items" list as well, or only Mon?

So far I've gotten two sun stones, two king's rocks, and two metal coats. Sounds like I've been pretty lucky. I still need to find an upgrade and dragon's scale to complete one of each.

At this point, I've gotten one of each. They still feel very rare. I suppose that if I got them all the time after I've evolved everything I've prepared, I'd get tired of getting them.

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...

I don't know the real rarity percentage but I'm pretty sure it's not below 1%... In my experienced I already got 5 pcs in below 500 pokestop visited. Last Saturday I got Sun Stone and and Yesterday I got Metal Coat... From Saturday to Monday I'm sure I only Spin Below 100 Stops...

You seem to be lucky. The rate is generally quoted around 0.5% with large sample sizes.

No they should not, keep the rarity, we already have enough spoofers getting all the rare pokemons.

I don't mind the normal rarity; but they should guarantee one for each 7-day streak (both capture and.pokestop). That would alleviate the frustration, while rewarding consistent play.

I have trouble obtaining 10km eggs, but not these dumb items. Lol I only wanted Steelix, Scizzor, and Kingdra. After obtaining all the item evolutions I have extra items in my bag. I guess I can evolve more as prestigers??

The percentage is fine. They are supposed to be rare. Even being so rare I got already a few of each except the dragon scale.
I don't see the problem. Do you want to complete your pokedex in a month and have nothing to do but complaining about how boring the game is?
