Uh oh …
If you ’re play online battle in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet , be careful because it appears as though hackers are up to no good with their Ogerpon , and are using the new Legendary Pokemon to flaccid - lock their opponent ’s game . Once easy - locked , the victim has no selection but to close their game down , resulting in a win for the drudge .
The situation was brought to light by Anubis on Twitter on September 19 , who send a video of a hacker in action , captioned , “ mind ! Malicious players can softlock your on-line battles by Terastallizing an Ogerpon into an impossible Tera Type . ”

To cause the softlock , the wrongdoer uses hack tools to add together an unacceptable Tera Type to an Ogerpon . Then , on a homebrewed Nintendo Switch , they enter an on-line engagement with the illegitimate Pokemon . Ogerpon ’s Tera Type can only be Grass , Water , Fire , or Rock as it is tied to which block out it wears . So by generating an Ogerpon with a Tera Type it can not have , the secret plan freeze for the unsuspecting victim , leave them no choice but to shut their game down completely and forfeit the match , leave in a going for them and a win for the drudge .
While softlocking may not seem that big of a peck when equate to hardlocking , which bricks your cabinet , it does execute the possibility of corrupting your save file . So , if you ’re playing on-line battles in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet , be heedful and strain and give-up the ghost out before your plot softlocks if you spot anyoneusing an Ogerpon , just to be on the safe side .
