Pokemon Go’s current season, “Dual Destiny,”is grappling with a serious problem: an exploit that allows players to win Battle League matches effortlessly. While the game’s battling mechanics are simpler compared to the main series, mastering them can be quite challenging, particularly due to the emphasis on timing and strategic use of Moves and Protect Shields.
Recent reports from users on The Silph Road Reddit highlight a player named JukkaBukka, who has leveraged this exploit to climb the ranks of the Battle League with unprecedented speed. This exploit, it seems, leads to instant crashes of the game, thereby securing wins for those who utilize it.

The Exploit: A New Challenge in Pokemon Go
Within a remarkably short period, JukkaBukka achieved the prestigious Legend rank in the Dual Destiny season’s Battle League, all thanks to this single exploit that guarantees an instant win in every encounter. As reported by Pokemon Go Hub, JukkaBukka expressed during a stream hosted by 2023 Pokemon Go World Champion ItsAXN that they had previously reported the issue to Niantic, but felt ignored, prompting them to exploit the situation for attention.
The specific mechanisms of this cheat remain somewhat ambiguous, with speculation suggesting it may involve unique combinations of player names or specific Avatar item selections. Observations indicate that JukkaBukka’s Avatar fails to load in certain battles, further supporting theories that the Avatar might be contributing to the glitch.
Notably, there have been previous concerns involving Allister’s Mask, which reportedly causes similar glitches that the developers have yet to address. Players had once theorized that such issues could be exploited to create invincible Gyms, raising the possibility that this exploit is simply a more aggressive form of that concept, tailored for winning battles rapidly.
It is imperative that Niantic takes immediate action to rectify this exploit. If the details become widely known, it could lead to a significant influx of players exploiting the Battle League, undermining the competitive integrity of the game.
