Only Trapinch in 10K eggs

Trapinch has hatched from my last 7 10K eggs in a row. Is this a glitch or is Trapinch seriously that common? Has this happened to anyone else? There seems like no statistical way that this should happen. Such a lack of payoff to go 10K and only get another stupid Trapinch.

Is not a glitch, is the sad and frustrating reality.

Nope. I have the same problem. It's just RNG. There's gotta be some bad mons in 10km or else Niantic won't make as much from it as they would have.

It really get's me thinking on the possibility of Trapinch dropping from 10km pool once more Gen 4 Pokes get released. The issue is though, Vibrava/Flygon are Dragon types, and they clearly don't want us getting easy access to dragon types even if they may be terrible.

In a large enough sample size, any pattern will emerge somewhere.

Trapinch seriously is that common. It's a large reason why 10k eggs have become less and less exciting for me in the past few months.

Wow that s@cks!! I hope your luck regresses to the mean and you soon get rewarded with heaps of the best 10Ks. Were any of these the 10K fitness rewards (ie from Monday)? if those are all turning up Trapinch then your luck is really depressing.

I've had a similar run. Out of my last 7, 5 have been trapinch with the others being feebas. The sad thing is, none of these even had high enough IV to keep around.

Yep. "R"NG. That's all this is. And while I haven't had the "R"NG this bad, I've almost always gotten cluster eggs in the past year or 18 months. Just this week I hatched 5 5km eggs - 3 of them were Torchic.

It's great when I'm hatching 3 Dratini's (prior to Dratini CD) or 3 Larvitars (even now) in a group. It SUCKS when it's Trapich or Sudowoodo. (I hatched 4 Sudowoodo out of 9 10km eggs the first time I tried to hatch 9 eggs at a time. And every one was under 80% IV!)

I really wish that Niantic would adjust their "R"NG to be more "R" than it currently is.

Egg Pokémons has different rarities. Trapinch is a common one. Common pokemons hatch rate is higher. Distance doesn't matter at all.

It's a trap!inch

Sorry, Admiral came out. I did get a worthless Snorlax and Lapras so it's not just trapinch pain in the 10k's right now.
