The «Ke Ke Ke Ke» Team Rocket Grunt is back in this February 2025, bringing a fresh lineup of Pocket Monsters for you to battle and counter with an assembled team targeting their weaknesses. You'll find this Grunt exclusively by interacting with PokeStops where they randomly spawn on the live map, challenging you to face off against their latest Pokémon team. Known for their signature laugh, “", they're easy to spot compared to other Rocket members. While grunts rotate their team regularly, those like «Ke Ke Ke Ke» always stick to a specific theme of typed Pokémon.
Each time you face this Grunt, their team will consist of any of nine particular Pokémon from a single type, with three randomly selected to make up the team you'll battle. Given the variety of possible combinations from their roster of nine, it's crucial to prepare a broad range of counters to ensure you come out on top. Defeating the «Ke Ke Ke Ke» Grunt, much like taking down the Rocket Leaders like Sierra, will deliver some valuable rewards —perfect for any Trainer on their adventure.
To defeat the «Ke Ke Ke Ke» Rocket Grunt in this February, you'll need to prepare for their team of Ghost types, including Pokémon like Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. The best counters are Dark-type Pokémon such as Spiritomb, Darkrai, and Houndoom. While Ghost types can also hold their own if you're low on Dark types, it's better to stick with Dark, as Ghost Pokémon are weak against the same Ghost-type moves that Ke Ke Ke Ke’s team uses. If you manage to find and evolve a Zorua, Zoroark will make a fantastic, easy counter.
