Hello darkness my old friend
NYC is typically great for Pokemon Go, but there's a serious Larvitar shortage. I still haven't seen one in the wild (even on the nearby list), but I was lucky enough to hatch one with 15/13/14 atk/def/hp. I walked 475 km with him, and just evolved him to get... B/FB. Bad attacking moveset, worst defending moveset, no real reason to ever use it. It would have high CP (3515 at lvl 37.5), but I can't in good conscience (walk another 910 km and) power him up knowing he's useless. Here's hoping they introduce TMs.
Anyone else have heartbreaking RNG stories?

Sure:) back when arcanine was relevant I evolved 6 bulldoze in a row. Almost statistically impossible, but it most certainly happened. The worst part is growlithes are semi rare and were mostly obtained through hatching.
I finally got a non bulldoze, by then it didn't matter after the rebalances. Also, after many attempts I never evolved a perfect set alakazam while they were sought after either. I feel ya.
Dealing with Espeon now. Hopefully will get a good one before a rebalance. Good luck with tyranitar.
Hatched 804 eggs... hatched one snorlax 75%IV, zero lapras. Only seen/caught one snorlax 62% IV in wild. Never seen lapras. Hatched first dratini 90+% evolved with sw/hp last week. only one other D nite 70% IV. Evoloved 7 gyarados 4 had twister, only one with hydropump... only two machamps BP/SE and BP/HS.. only scisor BP/NS... You're gonna be okay man I feel like I've had subpar luck in this game after all that work...
Disturb version of sound of silence keeps playing in my head since I first seen your post title :)
Appears I'm quite lucky with my important evolves. Only Rhydon play tricks on me and gives me rock smash, so no lvl 35 Rhydon from me in gyms for now.
A, and only Eq and HS on Snorlax, more lick than ZH, but at least I can talk about multiple Snorlax between 2800-3000 :).
