What type of bug are you reporting? Teambuilder/Validator

What is the bug?
Not sure if this classifies as a bug or more of an exploit but under ordinary circumstances you are unable to nickname a Pokemon as another Pokemon. But by adding invisible characters like the one from this website: https://emptycharacter.com to the name you're able to effectively bypass this.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
