[0.35.2] Wild Ditto's moves change after capturing

[Goldn]

Hey, not sure if this has been posted yet, but couldn't find anything after a quick search so sorry if this is a duplicate.

I was battling a wild Ditto earlier, and it used "Tackle" against me in the battle (couldn't successfully use "Transform" since I was using a Ghost Pokemon type). I eventually caught that same Ditto and when I went to it's moves, "Tackle" was not listed. I know "Tackle" is supposed to be a place-holder move, but I didn't think Ditto was supposed to know any moves besides "Transform", which it already does. I forgot to get a screen shot of this.

One of the times, the Ditto actually had the "Tackle" move given 3 times. Screenshot below.

That's probably because it couldn't transform but it got a hold of the move you first used against it and used it as the place holders for where all your other moves would have been. i gotta admit, this is kinda strange

1. There may be a problem with the ditto script in data,
2. This may be a result as the ditto didnt have any other move available and struggle may not be in the game yet
3. Yes ditto cant learn any other move but transform

All I can say is: Let's hope the new battle system fixes it, although this isn't anywhere near game breaking. ^^

I know for sure Struggle is in the game, used it myself. And yeah, I guess new battle system should hopefully fix it haha.
