Rocket Leader Cliff is back in Pokémon GO For October 2024, and trainers will need to know the weaknesses of his team and the best counters to win. One of the three Rocket Leaders working under Giovanni, this tricky boss has a three-party team of powerful Shadow Pokemon you can defeat for useful rewards. The challenge facing Cliff comes in the fact that, along with his lineup changing constantly, his second and third Pokemon are randomly set to be one of three options every time you meet him.
For example, when you are ready to hit Sierra in Pokémon GOYou can only find Cliff after defeating six Rocket Grants. Defeating one grant rewards a mysterious component, six of which you put together to form a rocket radar. He makes for a tough opponent as you can expect from a boss like this, but using counters to exploit his weaknesses will make this battle much easier.
