Each Team Go Rocket Leader has their own traits and difficulty level. Cliff, who is one of three Team Go Rocket Leaders is one of the hardest to beat, but by using the best counters and moves, you can beat it in no time.
Team Go Rocket Leader Cliff has a scary appearance, but fear not, he is not like that. Easier than Sierra, but more difficult than Arlo, Team Go Rocket Leader Cliff manages to bring with him not one, not two, but three different sets of Shadow Pokemon. Each set has different Shadow Pokemon, and this time Cliff uses Shadow Machop, Shadow Crobat, Shadow Pinsir, Shadow Amoonguss, Shadow Aerodactyl, Shadow Tyranitar, and Shadow Camerupt.
However, what Cliff does not know is that we are smarter and stronger than him, and we will always come out of a battle victorious.
Because we always want to help the Pokemon Go community, we have decided to post a list of Cliff’s Shadow Pokemon sets, which Pokemon you should use, and which moveset is guaranteed to bring you victory.
Here is the list.
