All Sierra weaknesses and best Pokémon counters in Pokémon Go for January 2022

Sierra and the other Team Rocket Leaders in Pokémon Go have returned to cause more trouble for January 2022. While the three bosses have returned, Giovanni is nowhere in sight. But he might not be far behind. This guide covers all of Sierra’s weaknesses and the best Pokémon counters in Pokémon Go for January 2022.

If you’re looking for Sierra or the other two Team Rocket leaders, you’ll need a Rocket Radar, which you can receive after defeating six Team Rocket grunts. These grunts drop the mysterious components that automatically combine into the radar. As a result, you’ll be able to narrow down the location of the Team Rocket leader’s hideout and battle them.

The first Pokémon Sierra will use against you is Poliwag, a Water-type Pokémon. You’ll want to use an Electric or Grass-type Pokémon to take it down. We recommend using a Grass-type Pokémon to properly resist any of Poliwag’s Water-type attacks during the encounter.

Next, Sierra will use an Exeggutor, a Grass and Psychic-type Pokémon. Exeggutor will be weak against Bug, Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Ice, or Poison-type attacks. You have several choices given the variety of weaknesses you use against Exeggutor. We recommend sticking with Bug, Fire, Flying, or Ghost-type moves to eliminate it.

The final Pokémon Sierra will use against you is Houndoom, a Dark and Fire-type Pokémon. Houndoom is weak against Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water-type moves. Unfortunately, none of these weaknesses line up against the previous Pokémon, Exeggutor, so we recommend selecting a Pokémon that can endure Houndoom’s potential Dark and Fire-type attacks and using any of those four weaknesses to eliminate it.
