Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
The coming Dragon King Qualifier Battle Competition for Japan has been cancelled. This is due to a glitch that has been found where players could register Miraidon or Koraidon into their Battle Party but then use unintended means to change their Batte Team to include other Pokémon not eligible for the battle. As such, while an investigation into how this can be resolved is under way and news on if the competition will be repeated will come in the future
