Why can't i name a deck "weezing & scolipede"?

title. i counted the characters and it doesn't exceed the limit even with spaces so i'm not sure why this deck name is blocked? is there a secret slur in it or something????

I also tried flipping it around to "scolipede & weezing" and that didn't work either.

    Because TCG Pocket has word filters to prevent profanities and slurs from being used.

    For instance if an ex Pokemon’s name ends with the letter s, it will hit the filter. This is due to the game ignoring the space between the letter s and the ex. Due to this issue, players can’t name their deck after Gyarados ex or Zapdos ex and so on.

    Scolipede is censured because "Pede" is a french slur for homosexual, and other stuff.

    Weezing is censured because of "wee" for "weed".

    It's an odd censuring system I know, but that’s why several Pokemon names can't be used.

    Poor scolipede. Scolipede is still fighting with roserade for my favorite poison type even though ive said theyre at a tie.
