How did my Scolipede get Speed Boost?

Question

My Scolipede is not hacked or from the Dream World or from an egg. I transferred it from Unova a while ago (like a year ago), and somehow, it has Speed Boost. How is this possible.

Comments

Do you remember what ability it had before you transferred it?

It had to have had quick feet

@sumwun, No.

Answer 1

In Generation V, Venipede, Whirlipede, and Scolipede have Quick Feet instead of Speed Boost as their Hidden Ability.

The scollopide you had, had a hidden ability. In gen 5 Scollopides hidden ability is quick feet. In gen 6 however Scollopides hidden ability became Speed Boost. When you sent your gen 5 scollopide to a gen 6/7 game the game updated the scollopide to match the game. That is how the scollopides ability became speed boost
