Potential Headbutt Spawn Glitch

[Nightjay]

Hi,

 

I'd like to report a potential headbutt bug. About a month ago I caught a Murkrow from headbutting a tree; a few days later, my friend posted a Murkrow in chat with the exact same IVs, nature, ability, gender and even level. When I asked him where he had caught it, he said that he'd found it via headbutt on a route that ended up being the same route I'd caught my OT Murkrow on, potentially even from the same tree (though neither of us remembered which tree it was). Around that time, I also saw a Fletchling in Trade Chat that looked uncannily similar to my friend's Talonflame that they'd caught via headbutt a few weeks ago. Here are some screenshots of the two Murkrows and Talonflame/Fletchling.

 

This is my OT Murkrow compared to my friend's Murkrow that he posted in All Chat a few days after I'd caught mine.

 

This is my friend's OT Talonflame compared to the Fletchling I saw in Trade Chat. I saw the Fletchling after my friend had already trained and evolved their Talonflame, so it couldn't have been the same bird.

 

I do not believe anyone involved was duping, as all parties involved (save for the Fletchling trader, whom I didn't PM) were extremely surprised and confused when I brought it up to them. However, I feel this is a strange headbutt glitch that may need to be looked into, considering the chances of catching two Pokemon with the exact same IVs are already extremely low - and then you have to factor in the additional factors of having the same nature, ability, gender, and level.

 

I apologize for not reporting this sooner. This happened around exams for me so unfortunately it ended up slipping my mind until today. I hope this information helps, though!
