Team GO Rocket Leader Cliff is back in Pokemon GO, and we are ready to defeat him and his new Shadow Pokemon lineup. We have to say, Team GO Rocket Leaders are a bit difficult to defeat, but fear not, this is where we come to your rescue.
One of Team Go Rocket Leaders is Cliff, and defeating him is not easy at all. Cliff and the other Team Go Rocket Leaders Sierra and Arlo are now back in the game, using different Shadow Pokemon and ready to take over the Pokemon Go world. But, one thing they don’t know is that we, the Trainers, are ready for them and will not give them an easy battle.
Cliff uses three different sets of Shadow Pokemon, each Shadow Pokemon stronger than the next one. To beat Cliff, you will need to use the best counters and the right moves.
