Level 25 currently...

In my first 100 hatched eggs I only received 3 10k eggs. Since that time I have hatched 50ish more and 4 or 5 of which were 10k eggs (sadly mostly useless duplicates). Even though I've have hatched 8 or so 10k eggs only a couple (two snorlaxes) are actually used during battles. Three percent for the first hundred eggs sucks, but after reading many of the replies in this thread that seems to be what people are seeing.

What about Pinsirs and Scythers? I've seen some people here being ecstatic they finally found a Pinsir. Meanwhile I'm sitting on nearly 200 Pinsir candies because they're like vermin where I live.

It's hard to imagine a place where Eevees are rare given the fact Eevee evolutions have dominated gyms all over the place it seems, but I have no doubt there are a few places out there where they're rare and some other poke is common for them. Four Lapras at level 12? I'm at 25 and don't have a single one yet.

I've noticed that in the last level or two Pinsirs have suddenly started turning up with frequency as well (a few Scythers in the last level or two too).

That's not a good excuse for them being in 10km eggs, with 5km eggs they'd hatch faster because they'd have more eggs to hatch of them...

wetakekills August 19th, 2016 10:29 PM

it is extremely rare. my peers dont even have it haha

Phoenixstarz August 20th, 2016 12:42 AM

I have over 100 eevee candy but i feel that i dont have enough, the rumour is the later gens evolutions of eevees willl be random (by the end you will have a 1 in 8 chance of getting the one you want) just imagine how frustrating that will be to try to get a perfect IV best moveset and correct evolution.
What frustrates me is that i find it more likely to get pokemon from eggs that i already have. I found a Jynx locally and then got 3 Jynx's out of 4 10k eggs.
Then i found a wild Magmar then got 2 magmars in succession from 10k eggs
Again same thing with Pinsirs
After ages of getting the same pokemon from 10k's i finally got an electabuzz then suddenly i get another 2 very quickly
But there are still loads of pokemon from 10k's that i havent got yet

They haven't even added gen 2 eeveelutions yet so it's going to be a very long time until there's all 8, plus you could just trade for the ones you want with moveset/ivs. As for the 10k eggs certain pokemon seem a lot more common (eevee, magmar, electabuzz, jynx, pinsir) than the others (chansey, snorlax, lapras)

Phoenixstarz August 20th, 2016 2:55 AM

Is true that I probably will have enough by that time but I'm happy to have more than I need than be stuggleing to get enough eevee candy.
I had 6 empty egg spaces earlier, picked up 2 5ks then got 2 eggs from the next stop and one of those was a 10k. Again still not enough proof that my theory is right as correlation does not imply causation however until I read anything definatively saying it doesn't I'm inclined to believe that it might increase my chances of getting a 10k (even if it's only a small increase of random chance I will take it)

Edit:Picked up 2 more eggs to fill my egg slots and got another 10k

CoalCraft August 22nd, 2016 1:30 AM

Eevees are moderately rare here - level 20 and have only managed to evolve one once. An eevee is one of the things I'm most hopeful for in a 10K, but no luck yet.

High on Drugs August 22nd, 2016 5:35 AM

Just cleared 2 slots hoping for a 10km egg and then got a 2 and 5km egg ugh

Have faith as 10k egg drops are MUCH better since that update a week or two ago now. I hatched two yesterday (Scyther + Pinser :() and then picked up two more eggs yesterday. I don't think a day has gone by this week where I haven't had a 10k egg (I always incubate and usually hatch at least 9 a day) so they're dropping roughly 15% of the time for me. I really hope the next round gives me something new :)

jjc927 August 23rd, 2016 7:41 AM

I've found quite a few Eevees in my town and the town where I work in. I have 2 of the 3 Eeveelutions and I can do the 3rd one with 5 more Eevees.

As for 10K eggs, I've gotten 3 so far. One I hatched was an Eevee.

Maserati777 August 23rd, 2016 10:21 AM

I just recently got a 3rd 10km egg and I had 8 eggs in my party at the time.

KJ August 24th, 2016 3:53 AM

I just got my 2nd 10k egg since i started playing at the begining of the month. As far as eevee's go. being home on vacation they seem to be pretty common around here. I caught 4 alone inside my grandma's house yesterday

pk2016 September 14th, 2016 4:08 AM

I've only got an egg for up to 5 km.

tjumper78 September 14th, 2016 4:35 AM

i often get 3 or 4 10 km eggs in a single day but it means crap when im getting eevees 4 out of 5 times.

stormivy September 14th, 2016 11:12 PM

I have only gotten 2 10km eggs.
I got Omanyte and Pinsir. After that, Omanyte started to pop up near my house alot. :---D

I wish I got more 10 km eggs, it would be awsome to get Dragonair and Lapras.

Pokemon86 September 15th, 2016 3:40 AM

Level 27 here. I hatched over 400 eggs. I would say I got about 30% 2k, 50% 5k, 20% 10k. Only I haven't got from 10km is Lapras, Aerodactyl, Mr.mime, and Scyther, and 5k is f'fartech (sp?) and Tanegla, completed 2k eggs.

bedak September 29th, 2016 6:52 PM

My level is 26 and I just had two 10 km eggs. :(

whazup September 30th, 2016 3:13 AM

I have found personally that getting a 10k egg has been getting easier. I am currently level 24 and have current have 7 10k eggs ready to be incubated ( waiting till I get the incubators for leveling to 25).

They have all been acquired in around 2 weeks. I got these 10k eggs all from same couple of pokestops and usually get 10k eggs once I have spun 10 pokestops in a row around the same area. I don't know if that really is a factor but for me It was.

UltimateUmbreon September 30th, 2016 6:02 AM

I'm at level 27 and have gone two weeks since I hatched my last 10k egg and I've been trying to get one since with absolutely no luck. Not a single 10k egg since.

ichiDad September 30th, 2016 8:45 AM

I'd say <10% chance an egg from a pokestop is 10 Km. I'm level 26 and I've probably hatched 15 total 10 km eggs. Still no Lapras or Snorlax. I've got 4 Pinsers!

Also I've spent exactly zero dollars on this game! All my pokecoins have come from defending gyms. A lot of the time I've just had one incubator. :-(

IndigoBlue September 30th, 2016 7:00 PM

I haven't gotten one in a while. I have mostly 5km eggs atm. I actually have enough coins right now to buy another incubator. Probably gonna save it for a 10km.

Kotone October 1st, 2016 10:07 AM

all i have right now are 5km. so i feel they are really rare to get now.

TheDeathryder October 2nd, 2016 2:01 PM

It's random, I stock up until I have 9 10k then buy incubators and hatch all 9 at once. I usually get 1 or 2 10k sets per week.

This seems inplausible without cheating. This looks like a troll.

Getting nine 10km eggs is nearly impossible to do, as it gets harder to replace the rest when you have more 10km eggs in storage. 1 or 2 sets of nine 10k eggs means you are cheating, or you are trolling this thread because you are 14 years old.
