Eevee showed up as Magikarp?

Just now, a CP 50-something Magikarp appeared. After catching it, though, it said I caught Eevee, and it is now in my storage as an Eevee. Unfortunately of before catching the Eevee (I wasn't​ expecting it to be one to begin with), but I do have an image of the Eevee In question. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Yes, I have experienced something similar once before. I think it was when Gen 2 came out and I caught three Swinub (I think it was Swinub anyway) and one turned out to be something else (can't remember what exactly).

Never heard about it happening to anyone else though, so it must be some very rare bug.

I had such a glitch too a few days ago. Don't remember what it was, but caught some mon and suddenly had some other. A bug.

YES! Just today, I caught a 600-something CP Pikachu, but after the "Gotcha" screen, it was an Ekans... Not sure how that happened!

I think it was because of a new migration. So probably you were in a nest when the migration happened :)

I've also heard that happening with nest pokemon at the time of migration.

I actually had the exact same thing happen last night. I had an eevee on my map and ignored it. Checked my phone maybe 5 minutes later and now had a magikarp on my map in the same spot. It was a magikarp on the catch screen, but as soon as I caught it, it awarded eevee candy and became an eevee.

This was not in a nest, but was in my home where I get very few spawns.

Mine wasn't in a nest, either. I was in my house where I can usually get a decent number of spawns, but I've never seen or heard of something like this, so I was very confused

Now that I think of it, when I originally went to catch it, it was acting as if the Magikarp wasn't there at all. All it did Wass press the area on the map underneath the Magikarp...
