"Ogerpon Hackers Target Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Players with Softlock Attacks"

Hackers are exploiting a bug in the Teal Mask DLC for Pokémon Scarlet And Violet, using modified Ogerpons with "impossible" Tera Types to softlock online battles. When encountering these modified Ogerpons, the game freezes, forcing players to quit the battle and inadvertently raising the cheaters' ranks. Pokémon Co. has yet to announce a fix for this issue.
