Team Go Rocket Leader Sierra is back, folks. Some like her, some not. We like to beat her in a battle as many times as we can, but it’s not as easy as it may seem. To beat Sierra, you must use the best counters, and moves, and have just a little bit of luck on your side.
Truth be told, Sierra is not the easiest to defeat in a battle. She is the most difficult one, and she has the most powerful Pokemon line-up in Team Go Rocket. You might need stronger Pokemon, but everything is obtainable with the right Pokemon line-up. And yes, Cliff and Arlo will be present too, during the upcoming event named Team Go Rocket Takeover which will take place from November 14th, 2022 until November 17th, 2022.
Team Go Rocket Leader Sierra uses Shadow Sableye, Shadow Honchkrow, Shadow Flygon, Shadow Cacturne, Shadow Houndoom, Shadow Snorlax, and Shadow Cradily.
Each time Sierra pays us a visit in Pokemon Go she brings with her even stronger Pokemon, but with the right Pokemon team and the right movesets, you can beat her in the battles.
For that matter, we decided to post Sierra’s current list of Shadow Pokemon line-ups, the best Pokemon to use against each Shadow Pokemon, and which moveset will bring you victory.
Here is the full list.
