Pokemon you've caught exactly one of (gen 1 only)
I only want to consider gen 1 mons for this poll, because they have been available for much longer, and have benefitted from more special events.
Which pokemon have you caught exactly once in the wild? No more, no less than one time, only considering catches in the wild. The results will be more interesting for trainers who have played longer, but anyone is welcome to participate. Please state your level and when you started playing PoGo.
I'm level 36 (almost 37), and started playing July 14, 2016.
Caught exactly once in the wild:
Charizard*
Persian
Arcanine
Machoke
Machamp
Muk
Exeggutor*
Hitmonlee
Hitmonchan
Rhydon
Tangela*
Jolteon
Omastar
Aerodactyl
*indicates the mon was caught during a special event featuring that type of pokemon.
I'm going from memory, but I think my list is fairly accurate. There are 16 gen 1 mons which I have never caught in the wild.

I'm level 33, (2/3 to 34), and technically I started July 16th, but I barely put any time into it before November. It's hard to be sure about some of these, with hatches and evolutions affecting the index count, but here's as accurate as I can be.
Venusaur (Another got away when I ran out of balls.)
Golbat
Vileplume
Diglett (Decent chance this was two, not sure.)
Kadabra
Alakazam
Machop (Also likely it may have been two.)
Slowbro (2nd ran away.)
Dodrio
Grimer
Haunter
Onix (Another ran away.)
Hitmonchan
Chansey (During Valentine's event.)
Starmie
Magmar
Vaporeon
The Diglett, Machop, Onix, and Magmar were all at nests, and then there are dozens I've never seen in the wild at all. Also, I've seen both Rhydon and Jolteon on my radar exactly once, but didn't find them.
I'm Level 30 and started with the Launch but having had a break from 10/16 till 02/17.

There are at least 10 then I haven't seen or caught. Also worth noting that up until yesterday Lapras would be on my list. Caught my 2nd wild one overall (hatched several over the last month) and my first one with double ice moves :D (lv 24 13/13/0 FB / IB)
