I'd like to request at least a re-examining on the rarity of lapras.

1. Reason given for the rarity was because of shulker shells.
2. Shuckles are common as heck and drop them
3. Shulkers are common as heck and come with treasure in the surrounding area
4. Gotta go fast boots and low gravity make moving around US a non-issue, even without being able to fly
5. Making them ultra rare is fine, but also making them dusk/dawn only and also being an aquatic pokemon combined makes actually finding them a living hell
6. In the amount of time that I've been searching for just one lapras (10+ hours now), I could have had plenty of shulker shells by farming shuckles and shulkers
7. As it is now, players that actually want a lapras probably will never see them without server admin intervention

Thanks!

Addition: Friend on the private server we play on said when /checkspawns is performed at dawn/dusk Lapras doesn't show up.

Thanks for the report. I was able to confirm them being this rare, and have passed it along to internal. We'll get this ticket updated when we know more.

(unable to reproduce the issue where they don't show up on /checkspawns, though -- 0.05% at dawn and 0.03% at dusk in my test ocean)

Closing, as this was fixed a while back!
