Latest hatch of a batch of 10km eggs

Just hatched seven 10km eggs simultaneously. Have worked my ass off for this and burned through an endless amount of incubators. The results:

3x Pineco
2x Mantine
1x Gligar
1x Larvitar

So basically ONE useful Pokemon and SIX pieces of utter garbage.

Seriously Niantic? Get your act together. This madness has got to stop. I wouldn't be surprised if numerous people have already ragequit the game after sessions like this.

I feel so bad I have been blessed with great luck and half of my past 7 or so have been dratini one with 97% ivs. So i guess Good Luck.

Yeah, but the reason why I had all of these 10km eggs was because I had burned through a ton of paid for incubators to get rid of the 5km and 2km eggs.

I've been burning through them too. Haven't had any luck with 10ks.

Well, that definitely sucks! Hope you get better luck in the future!

One strong reason to not do batches:); one at a time is not so hard; with larvitar in 3 or 4 position will be suportable; then after 2-3 fails another from the 4 good ones.

I still need a Foretress so I wouldn't be devastated. Gligar and Mantine can GTFO though. Let me guess, Larvitar was only impressive too?

I'm swimming in Forretresses, so Pinecos are useless to me. The Larvitar was a 84%, so that's not terrible. Still a very long way from getting my second Tyranitar. The first one I didn't power up due to it getting the worst possible moveset. Terrible on both offense and defense.

You already have a Tyranitar so you're complaining that you don't have a second yet? Dude, it's May 2nd, 2017 get your a$$ into gear you should have like 30 Tyranitars by now. You must be a tot@l n00B.

No but seriously most people probably don't have a single Tyranitar yet (myself included).

Oh and for the 1 millionth time, the pokemon comes before the egg. So while 6/7 of your 10K eggs may have been commons, it probably didn't take you that long to acquire them. It should take longer to acquire rare pokemon. That's the game.

I've only had 2 X 10K eggs since the event ended, and both were Gligar..... I feel your pain. Especially since I see 3 or 4 Gligar in the wild every day....
21 eggs,
2 X 10K
17 X 5K
2 X 2K

I know that no one agrees with me, but I swear that the egg groupings migrate when the nests do. Right now, I'm in a 5K egg zone, and I hate it. I can't wait until the next nest migration.

This was what my usual Sunday 10K batch hatch looked like when I hatched them yesterday.

I feel your pain. But by the end of the day yesterday I already had 5 more 10k eggs ready for the next Sunday batch hatch

Same experience here.

I'd be ok with 1 out of 9 if it's at least gym usable (high IVs) as I need gym defenders...

Looking at my old 10km hatches, those are sorta the numbers already (1 out of 10 usable)...

Most 10k are terrible. Few good Pokémon, lots of terrible ones. We only still like them because once in a while we get a great hatch, and that's like 1 out of 5 or worse.

You guys might remember me from a few weeks ago… I hatched five or six Pineco in a row. Well, my luck indeed changed, so now I am content. Granted, this was also through the recent event, but I picked up a Mareep and a Snorlax. Satisfaction enough to let it coast for a little while now. i'm really happy with those two new buddies, and will let you know what the next four over the next 24 hours turns out to reveal…

OK… First hatch since this last post just happened… And it's a Gligar! Note to self: stay calm… Remember the Mareep...

That's funny I hatched 6 pineco in a row after gen 2 release. Followed by 4 larvitar.. then 2 more pineco. Sudiwoodo than chansey!! Last night I hatched my 2nd snorlax . A testament that things can get better. Hang in there

Pineco and Gligar can be annoying but the ones that really bite for me are Mantine and Sudowoodo. Not counting the fact that they are both somewhat common where I live, neither are good enough to use at base value (except as maybe prestigers) and neither improve into anything better, ever. Same can be said of some of the other 10Ks, but they don't appear frequently enough for it to be a bother.

I agree. Pineco and Gligar at least have or will have evolutions. Mantine and Sudowoodoo are easily found and totally useless. I would be disappointed getting them in a 2km egg. Putting them in 10km eggs is just Niantic screwing us over.

Mantine and Sudowoodoo are useless but they are not that bad when compared to back in Gen1 where we were trolled with Scyther and Pinser in 10K eggs AND at the same time they had nests!!!

LOL!

Due to the very definition of randomness, you will get really great 10K hatches like Snorlax, Dratini, Chansey etc soon. In order to get really good ones, you need these to compensate. Maybe next time when you are here, you will gloat instead.
I don't know if you know anything about probability theory but there is something called conditional probability, which means you will have more chance of hatching others when you have already hatched these. Of course, unless there's bug in your random signal generator and you may need to take it to Niantic because their algorithm might break.

Is there new evidence that past eggs influence future eggs? This would surprise me. What you describe isn't randomness at all but would need to be built into Niantic's code - and I think it would shock those who have studied troves of egg hatch data.
