How did this it learn this move before me?

Question

I was battleing a trainer in Pearl when they sent out Pachirisu. Somehow the Pachirisu knew Spark at level 12 but my one wich is also level 12 did not.
After that battle I carried on and my Pachirisu grew a level and learnt Spark.

I don't understand.

Answer 1

That's just how it is in the game sometimes. Opponent's Pokemon could know moves that they learn at higher level before they actually reach that level.
Hope I helped!

So it's just another example of Game Freak logic?
