Same pokemon with different moves?

So I know the answer to this should be no, but something odd happened last night. The wife and I were going for a walk in the neighborhood and a Snorlax popped up. When we caught it, I said "nice! a great defensive moveset, it has zen headbutt and heavy slam." Then my wife told me her Snorlax has hyper beam. I looked, and sure enough. I thought movesets for pokemon were the same for different players. Did something change, or is something weird going on?

Edit: Duh, I can't believe this news was even posted on this site and I didn't see it. At least I'm not going crazy. Thanks for the answers.

Niantic updated earlier that made pokemon for different. I think it's level 25 and under the same pokemon will pop up but it can have different height, weight, gender, IVs and moveset for everyone that catches it

It is an anti-tracking measure because trackers user hordes of low level bot accounts to find pokemon. Now trackers can't also label what a pokemon's moves and IVs.

Its a good move just a little too late. There is one spoofer in our city that has multiple 100% Tyranitars, Dragonites, Blisseys, Snorlax etc all sitting in gyms. Each night the spoofer takes over gyms with his three accounts and puts all high level 36-38 maxed out mons in gyms.

Reported this person with three accounts multiple times and nothing.

Sometimes I wonder why I keep playing this game.
