Trainers, All-Hands Rocket Retreat is a new event introduced in Pokemon Go. During the event, the Team Go Rocket Leaders Arlo, Sierra, Cliff, and Team Go Rocket Boss Giovanni will be spawning more often and you must beat the new Shadow Pokemon. Many players want to know what are the new lineups and what are the best counters, so worry not, we got you covered.
Team Go Rocket Leaders Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff are now spawning more often from Rocket balloons. To track down Team Go Rocket Leaders and Giovanni you must use a Rocket Radar or Super Rocket Radar.
To get a regular Rocket Radar you must collect six Mysterious Components. These Mysterious Components can be found after defeating Team Go Rocket Grunts. The Super Rocket Radar is a stronger radar that can find the Team Go Rocket Boss Giovanni and can be earned by completing a specific Special Research quest. The Super Rocket Radar doesn’t immediately lead you to Giovanni; it displays locations of both decoy Grunts disguised as Giovanni and Giovanni’s actual Hideout. You’ll need to approach each PokeStop and investigate yourself to find where Giovanni’s hiding.
Now, let’s get back to the topic and see Arlo’s new Shadow Pokemon lineup and what are the best counters.
