The best counters to defeat Sierra
After finding Sierra, you can start the fight. But which Pokémon should you use against this Rocket Boss? With the help of the Pokebattler overview, we have summarized the best counters for you below (via pokebattler.com).
Defeating Zobiris – Best counters against the 1st Pokemon
As a first Pokemon, Sierra is guaranteed to use Zobiris. The 3rd generation Pokémon is of the Dark and Ghost types, which is why it has a weakness to fairy attacks. The following Pokémon are effective:
Alternatively, you can also rely on the following mega developments:
Defeat Libelldra and Kramshef – Best counters against the 2nd Pokemon
In the second turn, Sierra places one of the following Pokémon: Libelldra, Kramshef, or an as yet unknown Pokémon. What you get is random.
How to defeat Libelldra: One of the monsters that Sierra can put second is the Ground and Dragon-type Pokémon Libelldra. You should mainly rely on ice attacks, because it is particularly weak against them. But it also has its problems with the dragon and fairy types.
The following Mega Pokémon are also helpful against Libelldra:
How to defeat Kramshef: You may also encounter the Dark and Flying Pokémon Kramshef in battle. Due to its type, it is weak against Rock, Electric, Ice, and Fairy-type attacks.
Your mega developments are also useful against Kramshef, which is why you should use the following:
Defeat Snorlax, Houndoom, and Wielie – The best counters against the 3rd Pokemon
As the third and final Pokemon, Sierra will fall back on Snorlax, Houndoom, or Wielie. Again, it is random which of the monsters you will get.
How to defeat Relaxo: Lastly, you might encounter the Normal Pokémon Snorlax. In this case, you should best rely on combat attacks:
If you want to use a mega development against Relaxo, then the following are suitable:
How to defeat Houndoom: The Fire and Dark Pokémon are Hounduster’s evolutions. In combat, you should definitely rely on attackers of the fighting, rock, water or ground types.
If you want to use a Mega Pokémon against Houndemon, then it is best to use the following counters:
How to defeat Wielie: Wielie is a third-generation rock and grass Pokémon that can evolve from Lilliep. It is particularly weak against Fighting, Steel, Ice, and Bug-type attacks.
The use of Mega Pokémon is also suitable for Wielie:
This is how you can find Sierra
In order to face off against Sierra, you must first find her. The Rocket Radar will help you with this. This is made up of the 6 Mysterious Pieces obtained by defeating the Team GO Rocket Grunts.
Once you have collected all the parts, you assemble it into a rocket radar and can activate it. A symbol with an R will then appear on the right-hand side of the game. If you click on this, a map will open with your surroundings, on which you can see all the Rocket bosses currently available. Here you can go in search of Sierra.
Alternatively, like Sierra, the Rocket bosses also spawn in a black Team GO Rocket balloon when the Rocket Radar is activated. So you can find them in it up to 4 times a day, similar to the louts.
You can see how you can find Sierra and the other bosses in the following video:
Pokémon GO: Find Rocket Bosses – Here’s how to collect the Rocket Radar and track them down
Can you specifically find Sierra? When searching for Sierra at the PokéStops, there is no way to see where Sierra is in advance. You can only see who is waiting for you at the respective stop when you are there. Once you have found Sierra, she will remain at this stop for the whole day. Which boss is in the balloon also remains coincidental.
Is fighting Sierra worth it?
Why should you fight Sierra? In order to be able to fight against the big Team GO Rocket boss Giovanni, you will receive special research at regular intervals. You have to solve these to get a black Super Rocket Radar.
For this you have to fight against the Rocket bosses Sierra, Arlo and Cliff, among others. Once you have defeated them, you will receive the special Rocket Radar and can track Giovanni. But even without these tasks, you have the opportunity to compete against the Rocket bosses Sierra, Arlo and Cliff with every complete Rocket Radar. It’s mostly worth it for the rewards. Unfortunately, you can’t use it to fight Giovanni.
These are the rewards after beating Sierra
Which Shadow Pokémon does Sierra have? Crypto Zobiris is the current Pokemon that you get as a reward after winning the battle with Sierra. With a bit of luck, you might even come across a dazzling specimen.
More rewards: You will also receive a few items as a reward. However, one thing is different from the regular bullies. If you have an empty Egg Storage slot in your Pokémon Bag, you’ll also receive a 12km Egg.
Interesting monsters often hide behind these eggs, which makes them worth collecting and hatching. We have summarized for you which Pokémon are currently in the 12 km eggs.
