In Pokémon Go, you’ll need to take down the Team Go Rocket leaders Cliff, Siera, and Arlo. Here’s their teams for this month and the best counters.
Pokémon Go has its own version of the notorious Team Rocket, called Team Go Rocket. In this Pokémon Go guide, we’ll break down how to find leaders Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo and take them down.
Below, we list their parties and strategies as it stands in June 2023, with the most recent changes following the the Team Go Rocket Takeover event that activated as part of the “Solstice Horizons” event and “A Shadowy Disturbance” quest in late June.How to find Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo in Pokémon Go
Team Go Rocket members can be found in hot air balloons flying above you or from glitchy, black PokéStops. Each time you defeat one, you’ll get a Mysterious Component. After you get 6 Mysterious Components, they’ll combine into a Rocket Radar, which allows you to find a random leader. The three leaders are Sierra, Arlo, and Cliff.
Some Timed Research and Team Go Rocket Special Research tasks require you to beat all three leaders. Completing the Team Go Rocket Special Research will reward you with a Super Rocket Radar, allowing you to find the boss, Giovanni. Beating Giovanni will net you a Legendary Shadow Pokémon.Team Go Rocket leader Sierra counters
Sierra’s team can be the following:
Geodude (rock/ground)
Gardevoir (psychic/fairy)
Steelix (steel/ground)
Sableye (dark/ghost)
Houndoom (dark/fire)
Gyarados (water/flying)
Victreebel (grass/poison)
Though coming in to scope out her team first is recommended, if you come equipped with water- and fighting-types, that will help a ton. Her party is pretty diverse, so you may also want to sprinkle in electric-, steel-, and ice-type moves as well, depending on what she’s running.
