No, not really. If they were rare enough, they wouldn't outcompete normal Rathian into extinction, but what would make them rare? To clutch wildly at straws, perhaps they're more susceptible to diseases or something. Although saying they're rare might be a bit untrue... the fact they turn up in about 10 areas suggests they're pretty common. Damn you for not making it make sense, Capcom.
