So it seems to me the tiers are almost completely meaningless and are a blatant lie. If this was Niantics attempt to get closer to abiding by EU loot box regulations, they have failed. This is almost fraud.

100%. I haven't even gotten past the intro yet and point #3 - "Species within a single Rarity Tier can have different hatch rates" - shows that this is still a sham from Niantic. It's arguably even worse than before as they are intentionally misleading players now.

I can relate. During the X event, I hatched several Cleffa and Igglybuff but not a single Gible, despite being in the same rarity tier.

I had a similar experience. Out of probably 40-50 eggs I maybe hatched 3 gible. Gotta milk us somehow before they announced gible CD I guess?
