I have Froakies that not has Battle Bond and also cant learn egg-moves

[Benyaa81]

During the last month at the event the battle bond froakies have emerged, which is rare since apparently you need the protean ability and one way to verify if you have battle bond is through daycare, but I captured some froakies of which 5 they could not learn egg-moves and they also have the torrent ability, so it seems strange to me, I think it is probably a bug, but it leaves me doubtful that they can't learn egg-moves.

 

I tried one of them, since according to a moderator it was the most accurate way to verify if I had battle and I did it, but I still cannot learn egg-moves. I would appreciate if someone could help me with this problem.

Hi there @Benyaa81. Apologies for the delay. 

 

There is actually two types of froakie that can be encountered in Necropolis, as you can see looking at the spawns for the map in-game. 

• Froakies that can be torrent or protean when evolving. Basically the normal ones. 
• Froakies that can be torrent or battle bond when evolving. Which are the ones you caught. 

The pokemons you've shown in your screenshots are of the second variant, which is why they cannot learn egg-moves. There is unfortunately nothing that can be done towards it right now, it would require dev intervention and it is considered as pretty low priority. 

 

We apologize once again for the issue, I hope that my answer helped cleared the doubts you had. Let me know if something isn't clear or if you have more questions.
