Battle Spot Hacker(?) and Questions

Hello! Recently on Battle Spot there has been some sort of hacker that gathers free wins from people via some sort of bug/exploitation/hack by causing the game to hang after selecting the Pokemon to bring in Team Preview. Here's a video of a player facing the "hacker":

Here's a couple Twitter posts about the (presumably) same hacker:

The player's name is reportedly なおき and uses multiple teams, though the mono Electric mouse team seems to be popular. Besides public awareness, however, my biggest question is this: what sort of exploit is this person pulling off? What means is the hacker using to accomplish this? Not like I want to replicate what the hacker's doing, but I'm very curious how something of this magnitude has not been discovered before, especially with Generation VI having been out so long.

EDIT: Some other cool info found by OmegaDonut:
