Unexplained Espeon Moveset.

[SUP3RN0VA]

I'm not sure where I should create this thread, however, since I first noticed this only just now on Pokemon Sun, I figured I'd post it here.

At some point (My guess is after Espeon went from Pokemon Bank to Pokemon Sun), my Espeon's current moveset has completely changed. It is supposed to have Psychic, Future Sight, Shadow Ball and Dazzling Gleam (I am 100% certain my Espeon had all these moves, as I have used it for such a long time). Now, since I checked it in Pokemon Sun, it has Swift, Sand Attack, Quick Attack and Bite.

I am certain I never changed Espeon's moves to these, and as far as I know, it isn't possible for Espeon to relearn Bite if it forgot the move before it evolves to Espeon (and if it is possible, I still don't recall ever changing it). This may sound unbelievable, but I am under the impression that at some point, Espeon's moves changed sometime between being moved from Omega Ruby to bank, and Bank to Sun. In the hopes I'm not going insane, I am asking if anyone here may have possibly experienced anything similar?

Not exactly the same thing, with moves, but I have a Pelipper that I bred in OR that I transferred over, and upon transferring it now has Drizzle. Happy for it, but... I was expecting to spend for a capsule.

Weird. Actually, I transferred all my mons a couple days ago but haven't bothered to check any of them yet. I'll update ya at some point.

That does sound like a legit glitch though, no doubt. I believe those four moves are the four earliest level up moves for Espeon.

As Espeon was one of the Pokémon on my main team, I naturally checked my other 5 team Pokémon, and they were all fine. I really cannot explain why Espeon had all it's moves changed.

That's really weird. I'm glad you didn't lose any previous generation tutor moves there, it would have seriously sucked.
