Trainers, the Pokemon Go Battle Weekend event has started and the Team Go Rocket Leader Sierra, as well as the other two Leaders Cliff and Arlo, are spawning more often. Sierra’s Shadow Pokemon lineup has changed and she is now using different Shadow Pokemon.
The Team Go Rocket Leaders and the Team Go Rocket Boss are back, but this time they are stronger than ever. Their mission is to take over the Pokemon Go world using new Shadow Pokemon lineups. They’ve failed many times, so let’s make sure they fail one last time.
The Team Go Rocket Leader Sierra is one of the three Team Go Rocket Leaders, and it seems like she is the hardest to beat. She uses Shadow Squirtle as her first Pokemon in July 2022. Shadow Squirtle can be shiny.
