Pokémon GO: How To Beat Sierra (July Lineup & Counters)

offers great rewards when you beat the Leaders of Team Rocket, including Sierra, one of the organization's executives whose lineup in July 2024 has distinct counters you can exploit. Analyzing type match-ups for Sierra's possible team members will help you plan for anyone on her roster. Those who learn to defeat Sierra fast can claim valuable items and even some of her Shadow Pokémon.

Similar to how you would summon Cliff or Arlo in , Sierra can only be found when you use the Rocket Radar item. This device must be made from rare Mysterious Components collected from defeated Rocket Grunts found in various places. You must have six Components to make a Radar before you have a chance to detect and challenge Sierra among the Team Rocket Leaders.

Sierra, like all the Team Rocket Leaders not named Giovanni, is most likely to spawn at PokeStops or Balloons when you use the Rocket Radar to try and find her.

Cliff is one of the hardest battles to win in June 2024 and it is vital you select Pokémon that are super-effective against his in Pokémon GO.

Those who remember Sierra's June 2024 lineup of Pokémon will be happy to know that Sierra's team has not changed in July 2024. Each of the three waves of Pokémon Sierra uses have stayed the same without any deviations, even as you reach the more challenging second and third team members. If you faced Sierra before, you can use many of your counters from back then to have a solid lineup of your own.

Once again, Sierra uses a team full of Shadow Pokémon, much stronger and darker variants of the pocket monsters you are familiar with. Although this does not change the weaknesses of any individual Pokémon in battle, it does increase their overall power to be far higher than regular iterations of the same creature. You'll have to bring strong creatures from your collection to rival many of Sierra's loyal companions.

Some strong options to use against Sierra are rival Shadow Pokémon, Legendary Pokémon, or Pokémon on your roster who
