Has anyone been seeing an increase in gen III starter spawns lately? Just yesterday I caught 6 Torchic and Mudkip all over my city, not in a nest. It was cloudy too.

I've also caught plenty of treecko, and not in nests (that I know of) either. Torchic was on sightings but I haven’t seen anything of Mudkip so far, though. But it may be attributed to the fact that water types are rare in my area and starters are rare too.

Yep. Yesterday got 2 random Mudkip and 3 random Torchic and more today. Prior, only Mudkip was from a hatch and Torchic was from tracking it down using pokehuntr. Also seeing more Electrike and Meditite(caught 1st yesterday) which were rare for me previously
