Pokémon World Championship is buckling down on hacked ‘mons and it’s causing problems for pros
The 2023 Pokémon World Championship is officially underway in Yokohama, Japan, and some VGC players are being disqualified in the middle of the tournament for using hacked Pokémon.
On day one of Worlds, fans might’ve been keeping tabs on Brady Smith who was personally called out by World Champion Wolfe Glick just one week ago. The day started out great with Smith going 2-0 in the first two rounds of Swiss before finding out he had been disqualified from the tournament.
