Beating Team Go Rocket Leader Sierra in Pokemon Go will take skill, so we’ve put together the best counters and weakness tips to lead you straight to victory against the likes of Poliwag, Exeggutor, and Houndoom in January 2022.
In Pokemon Go, Trainers can collect Mysterious Components by defeating Team Go Rocket Grunts at invaded Pokestops within the game. Once you have six of them, you’ll be able to form a Rocket Radar, which then leads you straight to the Team Go Rocket Leaders.
Unlike the Grunts, who can be taken down fairly easily, trainers will have a difficult fight ahead of them when it comes to Team Go Rocket’s Leaders. There are four in total: Cliff, Arlo, Giovanni, and Sierra, and all of them have unique ‘mon to battle with.
This guide will focus on taking down Sierra, including her current lineup in January 2022 and the best counters to defeat her in no time at all.
