Did.. this wild Pokemon just change gender???

Oct. 7, 2020

I…. I encountered a zorua to train sp evs, and potentially shiny hunt…

And I remember thing “oh wow! This one is a girl!!!”

And now it’s a dude.

My Drapion is level 100 and my false swipe Pokemon. I started maybe 3 minutes ago, and have not killed the starting Pokemon yet.

I’m so confused. Did I imagine it?

I’m so sorry if this is dumb but I’m having a stroke now and i’m so confused like yes logically this can’t happen but i-

EDIT ITS A GIRL AGAIN IM GOING TO CRY WHAT IS HAPPENING

It’s because of Illusion. When the new Zorua appeared, it’s treated as the last Pokemon in the opponent’s “party,” so the first Zorua disguised itself as the other Zorua, including its gender. False Swiping it will remove the illusion and show what its actual gender is.
