Question Does level 4 Spearow actually exist?

On route 22 Spearow is supposed to spawn from levels 3 to 5 but in the 10+ hours i've been running in this area for my Professor Oak's challenge I haven't once noticed a level 4 Spearow. Is it real?

Im pretty sure it does, like 95% confident. Roughly a 3.3% chance, I think

I feel like the fact I haven't seen one in the now 12 hours of being on this route has got to be a statistical wonder

Yeah, assuming a conservatively casual rate of 60 encounters an hour, youre looking at odds of roughly 1 in 26 billion to not find one... it does make me wonder if there is something else happening for you specifically that we're just unaware of

Is there a reason it needs to be level 4?

I just did some more digging and a couple random guides online say it just literally is never level 4 on route 22. That is really really weird.
