The most interesting thing happened in a wild pet battle

[Cdeveau]

I've been running my toons through Darkmoon Island trying to upgrade my uncommon Darkmoon Glowfly while I do the profession quests. Anyway, I pulled up a wile pet battle with a glowfly and for just a moment, (side note, every wild pet battle I enter the boxes for the wild pets to display rarity may be one color but will switch to another as the battle loads all the way) the 2nd glowfly's rarity box had it as a purple/epic before turning into a disappointing common.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah, it means your last pet battle was against the Darkmoon Faire pet dude (or another pet guy).

Yes, it's a known bug / latency issue / something else, don't pay attention to it.

Yeah as everyone said that is the issue, I did a Legendary Trainer battle and then battled wild pets and saw 3 legendaries appear, (which got me excited) and then they went to their original box and disappointment settled in.

I always wondered why that happened... thanks for letting me know why too...
