Right. In the tournament scene, it's really not that hard to say "No exploits, no glitching" and disqualify people who break the rules. It's usually pretty clear when someone is exploiting on purpose, especially someone playing at that high of a level.

The next step is the corrupted Pokemon seeking retribution for their lost Trainer and corrupting all of your game data.
