Things I've never seen in the wild

I was sitting here reading posts about how many people have been catching Larvitar, and I haven't seen a single one yet. That made me think about other Mons that I haven't ever seen in the wild.
I went to the Dex, and it actually surprises me.
I'm not talking about regionals or unreleased mons, I'm talking regular everyday ones.
Venusaur, Charizard, Arbok, neither of the Nido's, Ninetails, Dugtrio, Primeape, Alakazam, Golem, Rapidash, Magneton, Dodrio, Muk, Cloister, Gengar, Electrode, neither of the Hitmon's, Wheezing, Chansey, Tangela, Jolteon, Flareon, Omastar, Kabutops, and Dragonaire are all Gen 1 that I've never seen in the wild. Although I have every one of them either through hatch or evolve.

Gen 2 is another matter. It's too early to make a list, since probably half of them I haven't seen yet. But I will mention that I haven't seen a single Larvitar, Pupitar, or Tyranitar yet.

OBTW, I'm level 34.5 and have over 14,000 catches.

I just caught my first larvitar a few days ago so I feel your pain.

As for never seen in the wild Blastoise, Venasuar, Machamp, Nidoking, Wheezing, Muk, Dragonite, Aerodactyl, Porygon, Omastar, Kabutops.

My main method of adding to the Pokedex has been hatching eggs and occasional rare find

Ooh, cool exercise!

My Gen1 wild no-shows are Raichu, Sandslash, Poliwrath, Machamp, Golem, Magneton, Dewgong, Muk, Cloyster, Electrode, Hitmonlee, Hitmontop, Rhydon, Chansey, Jynx, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Porygon, Omastar, Kabuto, and Aerodactyl. I have them all, but no wild seen/catch.

I'm L35.5 with 15,621 catches.

I'm same level as you and similar catches (14600). Live in a water biome but travel to a desert biome every so often. Have never seen a wild Gyarados, Dragonite, Alakazam, Aerodactyl, Exeggutor and Tangela (not even on sightings). Only saw one Snorlax and 3 Lapras. I have the impression that the gen 2 list is going far better and there are few that I haven't encountered yet (excluding the 3rd evolution of some), but Houndour and Larvitar are unknown to me.

I actually keep a list of Gen 1 mons I have not yet caught in the wild:

Arbok
Sandslash
Clefable
Ninetales
Dugtrio
Primeape
Alakazam
Graveler
Golem
Rapidash
Dodrio
Muk
Electrode
Exeggutor
Weezing
Tangela
Gyarados
Flareon
Dragonite

I've crossed Cloyster and Jolteon off the list in the last few days. I caught all the starter "big boys" (Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise), plus Charmeleon, during the New Year starter event, and Wigglytuff and Chansey during the Valentine event. I also got Hitmonlee, Machamp, and Aerodactyl during the Valentine event while I was spending hours on end hunting Chansey.

I'm level 36, and have been playing since mid-July. I have all of the above pokemon through either hatching or evolving.

I saw a Larvitar as a rare spawn at a Houndour nest a couple weeks back. I imagine he would be a rare spawn at any dark nest if there are any such mons in the game right now with that type.
