Pokemon GO: How to beat Cliff, Sierra and Arlo (February 2023) – Best counters

Pokemon GO the new one has started February month of 2023 bringing many novelties to the title and, as we usually do, in this news we are going to review pokemon teams that the Team GO Rocket Leaders currently have, who coincidentally have received a major renovation on the occasion of the new Takeover event.

Here we show you the Pokemon teams of Cliff, Sierra and Arlo and we recommend what are the best counters that you can use in combat to easily defeat them during this month.

How to find and defeat the leaders Cliff, Sierra and Arlo? – Better counters

As many of you already know, the leaders of Team GO Rocket; Cliff, Sierra and Arlo can be found by means of the Radar Rocket that are built with 6 mysterious components (which are obtained by defeating Team GO Rocket recruits in PokStops and flying balloons if we already have Trainer level 8). In our dedicated guide We will tell you step by step how to achieve these goals in case you have any further questions.

The point is that every time you get collect 6 mystery components you can create a Rocket Radar to go in search of one of the leaders (and then you will be given the opportunity to fight him). This process is repeated with each one of them, so that as you can see, you have to fight a lot to be able to face off against all three.

Currently in February 2023 these are the Pokemon teams used by the three leaders of Team GO Rocket and the best counters to defeat them.
