Twitch streamer Pokemon Challenges to host competitive event amid VGC hacking controversy

Twitch streamer and popular Pokétuber Pokemon Challenges, aka Jan, let the competitive community know that he would be hosting a VGC-style tournament for all the players that were disqualified or forced into sudden death matches earlier this weekend at the 2023 Pokémon World Championships.

Pokémon Worlds 2023 took place over the past weekend, Aug. 11 to 13, in Yokohama, Japan and was riddled with mishaps and controversy. A lot of players were disqualified midway through their Worlds run due to hack checks finding out their Pokémon were genned—a process that means players don’t have to spend hours breeding ‘mons with perfect IVs and can instead focus on match strategies.
