Some guy's Heatran used Eruption on me the other day on PO, was he hacking or what?

Question

So just now I was battlin someone on PO and he sane out a heatran, well this was all perectly fine by me until his Heatran used Eruption, and I know for a fact that Heatran can't learn Eruption. How did his Heatran use Eruption? Did he hack PO? Was it a glitch? I am positive it said Eruption, it wasnt Magma Storm, because it let me switch, and it wasn't Overheat, it was Eruption, I am 100% sure. Is it even possible to hack PO?
