Battles against Team Rocket Leaders have changed in July 2024 for , including the team lineup for Arlo, one of the executives you can beat for great rewards. Arlo's new team forces you to learn new counters against the three waves of strong Shadow Pokémon the Leader might use. Although there are some consistencies, you'll have to form an adaptable strategy to have the best chance at victory.
To even fight Arlo, you need to defeat at least six Team Rocket Grunts, such as the Ke Ke Ke Ke team in . Doing this should help you collect enough Mysterious Parts to build a Rocket Radar, an item that helps you find a Leader of the criminal team. Arlo can be one of the leaders detected by this device for you to target and challenge in battle.
Pokémon GO is about to see an influx of players as Niantic announces an overhaul of the Snapshot feature that will take even better photographs.
With no events related to Team Rocket updating some of the Leader fights, the Pokémon on Arlo's team remain the same this month. Those who remember Arlo's lineup in June 2024 will remember how each of the waves is divided and which Pokémon can be used. This should give you a good idea about which counters will still work, but some changes may cause certain Pokémon to be more effective than others.
