anyone got statistics on rarity?

[MKS]

most starters are "rare" which I assume to be 5%
I just can't figure out how rare "very rare" mons are lol
has anyone collected such data?

Hello! We don't have any info about if any player collected the rate by looking for themselves. What I can tell you is, that numbers are not public.

also I just had a weird experience.
my lead lopunny had 151 speed and I was at 7 island looking for larvitars but it failed to run away from a lv 52 persian
pretty sure there is no way a lv 52 persian can outspeed my lopunny which indicates that flee rate is different from the original games.

A very rare encounter feels like 1% at least for me and other player's I spoke with

You're just underestimating Persian's base speed. A wild level 52 Persian can have between 111-154 speed.

Persian is fast, and I think someone has verified that if your speed is about 1.75x than the wild encounter, you can alwasy safely run away.

There's a great tool called Gilan's encounter counter which counts pokemon per species so you can go to a route and see how many encounters it takes you to get those very rare pokemon and how many of them you got overall to find out encounter %
