How To Beat Arlo In Pokémon GO (April 2024)
Team GO Rocket returns to in April 2024, including leader Arlo, who provides one of the toughest tests for Trainers in the game. Arlo will once again enter the battle with seven possible Pokémon that he can use, always selecting three, which will change for each showdown. He provides a much harder fight than regular Rocket grunts, so it is vital to use the correct team to counter him.
To take on Arlo in this month, you will first need to defeat six grunts. You can find him by spinning Pokéstops or by finding Rocket balloons. If you want to face Team GO Rocket boss Giovanni, you must overcome Arlo, along with fellow leaders Sierra and Cliff.
Along with his fellow leaders, Arlo has made one change since March 2024 to his team for April 2024. The Leader has swapped his starting Pokémon this month from Dragon-type Bagon to Grass-typeCacnea, which makes this battle easier for you.
The remainder of Arlo's team has stayed the same for the last few months. His second Pokémon is one of three: a flying and Fire-type Charizard, a Psychic-type Hypno, or a Ghost and Ground-typeGorluck. Arlo's final Pokémon will also be selected at random: either a Dragon and Flying-type Dragonite, a bug and Steel-type Scizor, or a Dragon and Flying-type Salamence.

Despite the change to a new starter, Cacnea, an Ice-type such as Mamoswine is still advisable to start the battle with. Mamoswine is also super-effective against Gorluck, Dragonite, and Salmence. However, Cacnea has a host of other weaknesses,
