A new season has arrived Pokémon GOBut it’s the same old Team GO Rocket that returned in September 2024, including tough Rocket leader Arlo. He will choose three Pokemon from a possible seven in each battle. While regular Rocket Grunts can be easily taken down by a wide range of teams, it’s vital to use Pokemon that are super-effective against the Rocket Leaders.
To face any of the three Team GO Rocket Leaders this month – Arlo, Sierra or Cliff – You need to have first hit at least six of the various rocket grantsEach one provides a part of a rocket radar. Once you’ve done this, you can find Arlo by looking for PokéStops that have been taken over, or by tapping on rocket balloons in the sky. As in previous months, all of Arlo’s Pokemon will be stronger shadow versions.

While there are many changes Pokémon GO As part of the new Max Out season, Arlo’s team remains the same as in August 2024. Every time you face him, he will lead with the rock/bug type Anorith. His next two selections will be one of three Pokemon each time.
All of Arlo’s possible second Pokemon will provide a tough test, whether it’s the Water/Flying type GyaradosThe poison/flying-type Crobator the style/ground-type Styles. The last Pokemon you will have to defeat Arlo will be the Psychic/Fairy type GardevoirThe normal type SnorlaxOr the dangerous bug/style-type scissor.

The best counters for Arlo in Pokémon GO (September 2024)
Magnesone is the key to victory
Arlo is hard to counter, but I can comfortably defeat him with a specific lineup. As he will always start with Anorith, it’s best to start with a rock, steel or water-type Pokemon that will quickly be able to defeat it. A style-type such as Magnesone is a great option, as it will also have an advantage if Gardevoir is selected as Arlo’s final Pokemon. As Magnezone is a dual Steel/Electric-type creature, it can be set up with one attack of both types, making it super-effective against Crobat and Gyarados.
I also always include a Fire-type Pokemon, vi Cursor, Taking down two of Arlo’s strongest options, Steelix and Scizor, with Fire is the ultimate weakness.
For the final slot on your team, selecting a strong Fighting-type Pokemon, such as Lucario or Machamp, can help in case Arlo selects the Normal-type Snorlax, which can take a lot of damage from any Fighting-type attacks.
Once you’ve defeated Arlo alongside the other two Rocket Leaders, you’ll earn the chance to face Team GO Rocket Boss Giovanni. Arlo has a strong team again in September 2024, but by using the right types of Pokemon to counter them, such as Magnezone, you can easily defeat him in Pokémon GO.
