Conquering Team GO Rocket Leaders in Pokémon GO: A January 2025 Guide
Taking down Pokémon GO's Team GO Rocket Leaders – Sierra, Arlo, and Cliff – is crucial for research tasks and acquiring powerful Shadow Pokémon. Their constantly evolving teams make preparation essential. This guide provides the information you need to defeat them, including optimal counter Pokémon for January 2025.
Finding Team GO Rocket Leaders
Unlike Grunts, encountering Leaders requires strategy. First, defeat six Rocket Grunts to obtain six Mysterious Components. Combine these to craft a Rocket Radar. Grunts appear randomly at PokéStops, and a hot air balloon containing a Grunt spawns every six hours, following you for 20 minutes. Once you have a Rocket Radar, Leaders will replace Grunts at darkened PokéStops and in balloons.
