A bug, transforming caught Pokemon into a different one, is observed.
Is the bag caused by the recent update?
Pokemon Go players had a weird experience: wild Pokemon you caught mutate keeping the value of CP. For example, a player captured a wild Weedle but it transforms into a Pidgey.
How to solve the problem?
There is no way to avoid the problem at this point with except of waiting for Niantic's announce.
