With a total of seven different Shadow Pokémon at their disposal, defeating Team GO Rocket Leader Arlo in in October 2023 will be a challenge. If Trainers are to succeed, they'll need a trio of Pokémon that can exploit any of Leader Arlo's Pokémon's weaknesses.
The relieving news is that Leader Arlo's Pokémon are the same as last month. As a result, trainers will be familiar with how to beat Arlo in October, making the battle a little easier. As is the case with beating Sierra & Cliff in . Nonetheless, defeating Arlo puts you closer to facing Team GO Rocket Boss Giovanni.
Defeating any of the Team GO Rocket Leaders (Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff) will reward Trainers with 1,000 Stardust, a chance to catch one of the Leader's Shadow Pokémon, and any two bundle items.
