There have been many changes to Pokémon GO in Team Rocket! The three chefs Arlo, Cliff and Sierra and their boss Giovanni have completely new teams. And if you want Raikou Obscur, you have to defeat her ! Here is our guide to successfully defeating the terrible Pokémon thieves.
The Arlo team
As with all other GO Rocket team leaders, we will analyze, remember that you can fight again against Arlo, if you lose against him. He does not change the team during the "second leg".
We are now giving you the 3 best markers for each Pokémon of the Arlo team. If you know the Pokémon your opponent, you simply refer to the good lines in this manual in order to overcome them!
The best against Arlo
Mawile
Mysdibule is weak in fire and soil types . To beat it, we recommend:- Lugulabre ( dance flames / overheating);
- Darumacho ( fire teeth / overheating);
- Braségali ( dance flame / burner foot ).
Charizard, gate tank and Steelix
Charizard has a double weakness from Roche that you need to focus on. Tortank has attacks that offer good type coverage , but Pokémon Plant is still doing very well against him. Steelix is more difficult to beat because it has access to electronics, dragon, steel, ground, and dark attacks. Adapt to the Steelix you have in front of you! For further support we give Steelix 5 instead of 3.
- Charizard : Regirock (Lock / Rock Blade); Grolem (Jet-Pierres / Boule Roc); Electhor (Blitz / Alte Kraft).
- Gate tank : Viridium (quick attack / leaf blade); Trioxhydre (Draco-Souffle / Vibrobscur); Phyllali (long-term infestation / leaf blade).
- Steelix : Heatran (flame dance / flame thrower); Minotaupe (Coud'Boue / Tunnelier); Duck (flame dance / flame thrower); Laggron (mud blasting / hydroblast); Rhinastoc (Coud'Boue / Surpuissance).
Cizayox, Dracolosse and Drattak
Cizayox is double weak against fire , so it is easy to counter. Dracolosse has a double weakness in ice, but is also weak against dragon , rock or fairy types who have very powerful Pokémon in their ranks. Drattak has a pretty good typecast thanks to his attacks, but he has the same weaknesses as Dracolosse .
- Cizayox : Brazégali (Flame Dance / Burner Foot); Dracofeu (Flame Dance / Fire Burst); Duck egg (flame dance / flame thrower).
- Dracolosse : Dialga (Draco-Souffle / Draco-Météore); Regice (Castle / Blizzard); Mewtwo (Psycho / Laser Ice Cup).
- Drattak : Tyranocif (Anti-Air / Chewy); Regice (Castle / Blizzard); Giratina (Draco Souffle / Draco Handles)
Cliffs team
- Cliff always starts with his scara rod , you can catch him at the end of the fight.
- The second Pokémon can be Ossatueur , Amonistar or Elekable .
- The third Pokémon can be Tyranocif, Laggron or Torterra .
As with all other Team GO Rocket chefs we analyze here, don't forget that if you lose to Cliff, you can fight again . He does not change the team during the "second leg".
We are now giving you the 3 best blocks for each Pokémon of the Cliff team. If you know your opponent's Pokémon, just read the good lines in this guide and overcome them!
The best against cliff
Scarabrute
Scara rod is weak against fire, escape and rock species. But as so often, fire-type representatives are most effective. We therefore recommend:
- Sulfura ( dance flames / overheating)
- Braségali ( dance flame / burner foot )
- Lugulabre ( dance flames / overheating)
Ossatueur, Amonistar and Elekable
Ossatueur does not have good type coverage, so it is quite easy to counter water, plant or ice attacks . Amonistar has a double weakness factory , so it's pretty easy to counter. In view of Elekable can the sol-type, its only weakness abuse. That being said, you'll see that an overpowering Pokémon that deals neutral damage can be better than a Pokémon that does an extremely effective attack.
- Ossatueur : Kyogre (Cascade / Surf); Leviator (Cascade / Hydrocanon); Torterra (Tranch'Herbe / Végé-Attak).
- Amonistar : Torterra (Tranch'Herbe / Végé-Attak); Florizarre (whip Lianas / Végé-Attak); Blizzaroi (Tranch'Herbe / Éco-Sphère).
- Elekable: Carchacrok (Shot / Tourbi-Sable mud); Giratina Altered Form (Draco-Breath / Ancient Power); Rhinastoc (Coud'Boue / Lame de Roc).
Tyranocif, Laggron and Torterra
Tyranocif has a double weakness in combat , the disadvantages are in advance. Laggron has a double weakness plant , your choice will be quick there too. Torterra requires a little more subtlety, as it also has a double weakness of the ice type , but it offers problematic attacks for attackers of the ice type . In general, we therefore prefer to use fire Pokémon .
- Tyranocif : Lucario (Riposte / Poing Boost); Scarhino ( counter strike / melee); Mackogneur (Riposte / Coup Croix).
- Laggron : Phyllali ( quick attack / leaf blade ); Roserade (Tranch'Herbe / Noeud Grass); Meganium (Lianas / Végé-Attak whip)
- Torterra : Sulfura ( flame dance / pique); Artikodin ( ice chips / glass of ice); Heatran (dance flame / flame thrower).
How to beat Sierra? Conquer Terhal Obscur!
The Sierra team
As with all other Team GO Rocket chefs we analyze here, keep in mind that if you lose, you can fight Sierra again . She does not change the team during the "second leg".
We are now giving you the 3 best markers for each Pokémon of the Sierra team. If you know your opponent's Pokémon, just read the good lines in this guide !
The best against Sierra
Beldum
Terhal is fairly weak, uses only normal attacks, and takes extremely effective damage from fire, dark, spectrum, and ground attacks . To beat it, we recommend:- Braségali ( flame dance / burner foot )
- Darkrai (Barking / Vibrobscur)
- Duck (flame dances / overheating).
Noadkoko, Lokhlass and Sharpedo
Noadkoko has a double insect weakness that you should definitely take advantage of. Lokhlass is a good Pokémon that has nice type coverage. Analyze the Lokhlass you have in front of you! Sharpedo has 5 weaknesses (Insect, Electrik, Fairy, Combat and Plant) and does not have excellent coverage. For him, the disadvantages are easy to choose .
- Noadkoko : Pyrax (Sting / Bumblebee); Cizayox (Taillade / Plaie Croix); Scara rod (bite / cross wound).
- Lokhlass : Dialga (Draco-Souffle / Draco Météore); Lucario (Riposte / Poing Boost); Melmetal (lightning / falling rocks).
- Sharpedo : Lucario (Riposte / Surpuissance); Mackogneur (Riposte / Melee); Raikou (flash change / crazy flash).
Tengalice, Démolosse and Alakazam
Tengalice has a weak double fault , but it is difficult to bet on because you can run into a strong wind specimen. Don't panic, Shiftry take advantage of many other weaknesses (fairy, flies, poison, fighting, ice and fire). Démolosse is easy to counter because it does not have very good type coverage . Your water, fighting and rock types will appreciate it. Alakazam is more complicated because it has access to many charged attacks that are stronger than the others. As with PVP, focus on your resistance to its rapid attacks, always of the Psychic type. In general, we use Dark-type Pokémon to counter Alakazam .
- Tengalice : Togekiss (Ancient Spell / Power); Ho-Oh (Hidden Fire / Raptor Power); Yanmega (sting / bumblebee).
- Demolosse : Laggron (mud shot / hydroblast); Tartard (mud explosion / punch); Mackogneur (Riposte / Coup Croix).
- Alakazam : Darkrai (Barking / Vibrobscur); Trioxhydre (Draco-Souffle / Vibrobscur); Tyranocif (bite / chew).
Giovanni's team
- Giovanni's first Pokémon is still his loyal Persian .
- Only the second Pokémon changes. You can come across Crustabri , Steelix or Hippodocus .
- Throughout February 2020, Raikou is Giovanni 's third Pokémon. So you have a month to catch this legendary dog that is mastered in its obscure version. Take advantage of it before it is replaced in March by Entei or Suicune!
The best against Giovanni
Because Giovanni has access to far fewer Pokémon than his subordinates, it is possible to build a team that is effective in all possible circumstances . For example, we can offer you the following trio:
- Mackogneur (Riposte / Coup Croix)
- Florizarre (Tranch'Herbe / Végé-Attak)
- Rhinastoc (Coud'Boue / earthquake)
That said, let's go into the details, Pokémon by Pokémon.
Persian
Use a battle-type Pokémon in front of the Persian . Giovanni's darling will fall very quickly! Here are the three best cons:
- Mackogneur (Riposte / Coup Croix);
- Bétochef (Risposte / Dynamo-Poing);
- Lucario (Riposte / Aura Sphère).
Crustabri, Steelix and Hippodocus
For Crustabri , too, there is no need to complicate your task, a good kind of fight and voila! We've already talked about the Steelix case in Arlo, which is a Pokémon with very good type coverage . To beat it, you can reuse your fighting style, turn off your Rhinastoc (make sure you don't do an earthquake attack), or pick a good fire Pokémon. You have the choice! Finally Hippodocus remains. Use your plant or water Pokémon in the face of its ground attacks. Assign bottomless attack a Eismarker priority to.
- Crustabri : Mackogneur (Riposte / Coup Croix); Bétochef (Risposte / Dynamo-Poing); Lucario (Riposte / Aura Sphere)
- Steelix : Rhinastoc (mud / earthquake); Dracofeu (Danses-Flammes / Rafale Feu); Mackogneur (Risposte / Coup Croix).
- Hippodocus : Florizarre (Lianas / Végé-Attak whip); Kyogre (waterfall / surf); Mammochon (powder / avalanche).
Raikou
Raikou is an impressive legendary Pokémon when it can unfold all its powers. But if you have a sol guy in front of you, he can't.
- Groudon (mudslide / earthquake)
- Rhinastoc (Coud'Boue / earthquake)
- Carchacrok (mud / earthquake).
