One of the most well-known Pokémon GO content creators has been hacked and has lost his Pokémon due to the hacker. And he even filmed the whole thing.
Who is it about? The trainer who was hacked is FleeceKing. He is a well-known “Pokémon GO” content creator and streamer who became the first trainer to reach Level 50 in Pokémon GO. He has also caught more than 2 million Pokémon with his Pokémon GO account.
His valuable collection of Pokémon, which he built up over the years, was deleted by the hacker. And as if that wasn’t enough, the hacker even filmed it. FleeceKing included the video in his post on X.
I am an emotional wreck
What does the trainer say about it? FleeceKing writes on X that he does not know how the hack could happen and notes that Niantic is looking into the situation:
No one has my account data, I don’t know how and why this happened. I am completely speechless and utterly shaken and sad. The Niantic team is working to get it back. But honestly, I don’t know if I will have the motivation to play and continue after this situation.
Furthermore, he states that he does not understand the motivation behind such actions and that he suffers from the hack. He writes: It is sad that there are people who truly take pleasure in destroying the lives of others in any way and celebrating the destruction of others. I am an emotional wreck.
What does the community say about it? Many voices from the community express their sympathy and show lack of understanding for the actions of such people. There is also a speculation about the course of the hack in the comments.
A user speculates on how the hack may have happened:
He used screenshots of your account to claim to Niantic that your account actually belongs to him. It is obvious that when his account was suspended, he turned to Niantic and found that he could claim ownership of any account by showing screenshots that “confirm” this.
Whether this was actually the hacker’s approach remains unknown at this time.
Further comments on the post include:
Omg, this is heartbreaking, I really hope they can get your account back 😕 Let us know if you have any news, Fleece…

It remains to be seen how Niantic will proceed, whether they can help him, and whether FleeceKing will continue to find the motivation to play Pokémon GO.
