Pokemon GOhas been throwing tons of updates and events at trainers this month and it’s understandable if players feel a little overwhelmed by all the changes. Somewhere betweenthe improved Buddy System updateand this week’s Regice Raid Day, Niantic also updated the Team GO Rocket Leader lineups. That means there are some new Shadow Pokemon to take down.
Players have likely alreadyfaced off against Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra; but now is a perfect time for a rematch since all three bosses have new rosters of Pokemon.Pokemon GOtrainers should definitely take a bit of time before the match to study the new opponents and form the perfect team for the fight.
When facing off against Cliff, players have a pretty interesting mix of Pokemon to battle. Here’s a list of all the possible Pokemon that Cliff might throw out during the fight:
Second Pokemon: Marowak / Onyx / Electawire
Third Pokemon: Tyranitar / Swampert / Torterra
There are lots of options for counters against Cliff, but this is our recommendation for the perfect roster…
Torterra - Razor Leaf/Sand Tomb
Lucario - Counter/Power Up Punch
Although that is the ideal roster that should be able to handle whichever team Cliff tosses out during the big fight, there are obviously lots of other substitutes that can do the trick. Other Pokemon worth considering include Lugia, Leafeon, and Heatran.
For now, players may want to keep hunting downthe best Unova Pokemon in the gameif improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for morePokemon GOstrategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
