    Rocket Leader Cliff’s Pokemon Lineup and Best Counters (September 2024)

    Take down Cliff’s team

    As usual, Rocket Leader Cliff’s line-up for September 2024 includes three different Shadow Pokemon that increase in stat. To make the biggest impact on his team, we recommend using style-type Pokemon, like Metagross in Pokémon GO. This is because many of his Pokémon are Rock-type, which gives Metagross an advantage. Combined with a fast-charging fast move, Bullet Punch, Metagross can tear through Cliff’s shields in the first seconds of the battle.

    If you find yourself fighting Cliff’s Marowak, make sure to switch to a Grass- or Water-type Pokemon. This is because Metagross is weak to Marowak’s ground-type moves.
