In the clip we see the Trainer squaring off against an another human opponent, when they decides to trigger their Gyarados’ Dynamax ability. However, instead of throwing the massive Pokeball with their arms, it hovers and floats in the air around their head before being thrown out.

Other players found the glitch hilarious, such as user ‘President-x’ who said, “It’s just your character practicing his telekinesis.” Another trainer ‘Sigzy05’ agreed, stating, “Alakazam confirmed.” Redditor ‘7Pkmn-v’ asked, “Please tell me your opponent saw that too” which the topic creator replied “I hope they did.”
