How To Beat Arlo In Pokémon GO (December 2023)
Team GO Rocket Leader Arlo returns for Trainers to face off against in in December 2023. Trainers must be prepared for the battle, with a line-up that can counter the wide range of Pokémon that Arlo might select to use.
Defeating Arlo will offer a rare opportunity for players to catch a strong Shadow Pokémon, making it worthwhile to try and beat him. Alongside Cliff and Sierra, Arlo is one of the three leaders that Trainers need to defeat before they can face Team GO Rocket Boss Giovanni.

Arlo made one change in November 2023, but no further changes have been made to his line-up for December, so if you faced off against him last month, there will be no surprises. Arlo's first Pokémon is now Generation 1, Grass- and Poison-type Bellsprout. His second Pokémon will be one of three at random out of Psychic-type Alakazam, Ghost-type Mismagius, or Water- and Dark-type Sharpedo.
Arlo's final Pokémon are all powerful Shadow versions in, which will provide a tough test regardless of which option you face. It will be either Normal-type Snorlax, Bug- and Steel-type Scizor or Electric- and Steel-type Magnezone.
