Best Pokémon Go Sierra counters May 2024: How to defeat the Team Go Rocket leader

radiotimes.com:

Pokémon Go has gone from strength to strength since its launch and initial craze back in 2016.

It now has a dedicated community, regular events, and it's still changing its aesthetic.

If you're new to the game, you might find a few surprising challenges on your journey to becoming a Pokémon master. Team Go Rocket leaders, for example, are tough opponents. But they're worth defeating for the loot.

So, how do we beat them? Specifically, how do we beat the infamous leader, Sierra?

First, you'll need to beat the lower-level grunts, then activate a Rocket Radar once you assemble all the pieces. Of course, you'll need to be prepared for the fight, too, with decent Pokémon.

The Pokémon the boss uses tends to change on a monthly basis, so bear that in mind too! Let's take a look at how to prepare for the bosses, including Sierra, this month!

So, we know who Sierra will start with as it never changes, but rounds two and three have multiple options for which Pokémon she will pit yours up against, and so we need to look at them all to work out the best way to win the fight.

You need to prepared for each of the Pokémon that Sierra could send out and make sure you've got a decent counter in your back pocket for each of them. At a glance, then, this is what Sierra has in store for you:

First round:

Second round:

Third round:

This is a bit of a tricky one, as there are a few different varieties of Pokémon that Sierra could throw at you.

We recommend a strong Ice-type Pokémon, because four of your potential opponents will be vulnerable to Ice.

It is worth noting that you can re-pick your team after losing to Sierra once, by opting for a rematch at the same location, which should mean that Sierra makes the same picks again. But this time, you'll know who you're up against, so you can make your own picks more wisely.
