Pokemon Go Sierra January 2022 Pokemon Lineup and Best Counters
We have some happy news for Team Go Rocket fans, the most famous frenemies are back! Yes, that’s right, the Team Go Rocket leaders Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo are now appearing more frequently at PokeStops and in balloons.
Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo are back, but this time they are more powerful. They are now using different Shadow Pokemon and they are stronger than the last time we saw them in Pokemon Go.
The most complex of these three is Sierra. This Team Go Rocket Leader might be the hardest Leader to beat. Sierra has the most powerful lineup, but with a little bit of luck and stronger Pokemon, you might just win this battle, save the Shadow Pokemon, and get a new shiny Shadow Pokemon in your dex.
Here is the current list of Sierra’s Shadow Pokemon lineup, and a list of which Pokemon (and which moves should they have) you should use.
