Hello @Envymeister, @Jillastrea
For the Route 229:
After having looked at it, it is indeed an old spawn that will be reviewed at some point (there are many spawns in this kind of case so it will take time before they are all review and done).
For the map Iron Island b2F R:
Adding klink in ms won't change a thing,
What you need to know is that the presence of a Rare MS Pokemon in a area has almost no influence on the spawn of other pokemons in this particular case if you're not MS and we add MS to Klink, you'll simply no longer have a klink, but you'll still see the same number of pawniard as if you were ms because the difference is almost insignificant that's why in this particular case it's good to have a MS because it doesn't penalize the number of pawniard encounters and allows you to see klink at the same time.
This example only works if the MS Pokemon is a Rare pokemon of course.
From what I can see of the spawn, you must have been pretty unlucky if you hadn't seen a sufficient number of pawniard but keep in mind that the klink you saw if you were MS didn't steal any pawniard.
I hope my explanation was clear enough. If it wasn't, don't hesitate to tell me.
About Pinkan Island:
The main problem comes to the number of maps available (Forest, Meadow and Cliff) it's difficult to allocate more pokemon spawns with only 3 maps and a rotation would mean that some species wouldn't be available for a while which I think is not a good solution for pinkan island.
Regarding levels, in view of the new experience system, increasing levels wouldn't solve this problem and could bring other problems (self harming move and hunt difficulty).
With regard to Ilex Forest:
I think you must be mistaken because the foongus spawn is already open all day.
Thanks to both of you for taking the time to make suggestions and give feedback that could improve spawns.
Wishing you a good day and kind regards,
CloseCombat.
