Game logic is weird logic

Yesterday I took a screenshot from my house of the outline of Jigglypuff, taunting me. (Rare Pokemon appear periodically but I can never actually find them because tracking sucks.) Then as soon as I was done, Jigglypuff appeared and I caught him.

Later I decided to walk to hatch some eggs and my 10k egg hatched and I got an Eevee, which would be great except Eevees are not *that* uncommon here and it was not even a high level Eevee and come ON 10k egg.

Also, I was chasing another alleged Jigglypuff nearby and I even had incense on as I walked. Did I find a Jigglypuff? No, apparently I should have just stayed at my house for that.

Useful info I did find: the wooded path behind my house has zero Pokemon, even with incense. Which is good to know because I haven't wanted to walk there when it's dark but have been sad I couldn't find out (it's kinda pretty?) and also the nearby side road has a LOT of Pokemon sadly after the slight hill.

Has anyone else caught a high level/rare Pokemon out of the blue? Also, have people had good luck with eggs? Asking for a friend.

Yes! Just now, on the BART parking lot, I literally ran into a 1400 CP Rhydon! Immediately captured the gym at the station with it. Whoa.
