:::The Dome/Helix is actually more striking, yeah. In fact, AFAIK your Dome Fossil luck was way high (at ~35%); it should've been more like just 13 found. And Helix should even have been about even, if not higher (at such a relatively small sample, the difference is negligible). | :::The Dome/Helix is actually more striking, yeah.

:::Anywho, luck is always a huge factor. 100 samples can still easily skew (if you just have 4-5 less than "ideal" for something—which can easily be 1-2 more than ideal of this, 1-2 more of that—that looks pretty different); only by going even higher can you halfway hope to smooth out the effects of luck in your averages.

::::This just means you've had terrible luck. Do remember that even if something has a 50% chance, it's possible to not get the result you want in a hundred tries. Highly unlikely, but still a possibility. And as anybody who's played any sort of Pokémon game can tell you, and you probably know yourself, when most of the game's mechanics rely on RNG you're bound to run into stuff like this of varying degree. It seems unusual, but again, when everything relies on RNG it's actually only a handful of times you'll get gypped like this, and you're most likely to notice getting screwed over when actively trying to accomplish something.
