How To Beat Cliff In Pokémon GO (October 2023)

screenrant.com:

After you defeat six Team GO Rocket Grunts in , you'll face a more difficult challenge from the Leaders Sierra, Arlo, and Cliff. Beyond that is the most challenging of all: defeating Team GO Rocket Boss Giovanni. As a result, your Pokémon will need to be in tip-top shape, because there are lots of battles coming your way this October, and Leader Cliff is one you need to watch out for.

Thankfully, Team GO Rocket Leader Cliff has the same lineup from September. In fact, he's had the same lineup for the last four months in a row. Therefore, any trainer who's previously battled Leader Cliff will know what to expect this October and should be able to quickly wipe out the character's three Shadow Pokémon.

Beating team Leader Cliff will net Trainers with 1,000 Star Dust, two bundle items, and the possibility to catch one of the Leader's Shadow Pokémon.

Team GO Rocket Leader Cliff's starting Pokémon is a generation one Rock- and Flying-type Aerodactyl. Following that, Cliff will either bring out Water- and Psychic-type Slowking, Psychic- and Flying-type Gallade, or Rock- and Grass-type Cradily. Finally, in the third wave, Cliff has the possibility to pull out a Rock- and Dark-type Tyranitar, an Ice- and Ground-type Mamoswine, or a Ghost-type Dusknoir, according to PokemonGoHub.
