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.

This reminds me of that meme where a guy said his name is Nasser. A game put asterisks in place of censored words and it censored his name to, well, put asterisks in place of the bad word in his name lol
He said "It's trying to censor a bad word but it's making it worse" 🤣

I guess I'm not the only person to call Scolipede "Scoli". That's what my Scolipede in Y is called.

Also you posted that at 5:45 AM which is a coincidence—

It's because their censoring system is all over the place. They have extremely strict filters on deck names (for example, you outright can't name a deck "purugly" because "ugly"), while on the other hand players can use all sorts of racist and unspeakable usernames.
On top of this, deck names are not visible to other players, but usernames are.
I'm honestly at a loss here. I really don't understand the usefulness of censoring deck names while leaving complete freedom on usernames. Maybe it's me.
