As one of the Team GO Rocket Leaders in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Go, Cliff is a steep challenge for even the most seasoned Pokemon trainer. His lineup of Pokemon might seem unbeatable, but we have all th🎃e best counters and strateg🍰ies right here in our guide.

Cliff is one of the three primary Team GO Rocket Executives in Pokemon Go, but can be just as difficult as the others if your team is unprepared. Like the other leaders you'll challenge, Cliff will have three Pokemon in his team that will be drawn from a pool of possible options. You can determine which Pokemon he uses in the first round, but the second and third can each be one of three, meaning you'll want to have a plan for whatever Pokemon he might call in.

First Round: Bulbasaur

Bulbasaur
Type	Grass Poison
Weak To...	Fire Ice Psychic Flying	Resistant To...	Electric Fairy Fighting Water Grass

Bulbasaur is always the first Pokemon Cliff will send against you. It's a relatively weak Pokemon, so you shouldn't have much trouble with it.

Suggested Counters: Bulbasaur

Pokemon	Type	Recommended Moves
Ho-Oh	Fire Flying	Fast Attack: Incinerate Charged Attack: Sacred Fire
Dragonite	Dragon Flying	Fast Attack: Dragon Breath Charged Attack: Hurricane
Moltres	Fire Flying	Fast Attack: Fire Spin Charged Attack: Overheat

Second Round: Omastar, Venasaur, Crobat

Pokemon - Venasaur, Crobat, and Omastar (from the anime)

Omastar				Venasaur				Crobat
Type	Rock Water			Type	Grass Poison			Type	Poison Flying
Weak To...	Grass Electric Fighting Ground	Resistant To...	Fire Ice Flying Normal Poison	Weak To...	Fire Ice Psychic Flying	Resistant To...	Water Electric Fairy Fighting Grass	Weak To...	Electric Ice Psychic Rock	Resistant To...	Fairy Ground Poison Bug Fighting Grass

Cliff's second Pokemon will either be a Venasaur, Crobat, or Omastar. These are all deadly Pokemon, but not unfamiliar ones; you probably have a strong Pokemon of a countering type already!

We've provided you with lots of potential counters to each of Cliff's possible choices, but having a strong Electric- or Psychic-type Pokemon ready would mean you were prepared for two out of three possible opponents. Legendaries like Mewtwo or Raikou are good examples.

Suggested Counters: Omastar

Pokemon	Type	Recommended Moves
Zarude	Dark Grass	Fast Attack: Vine Whip Charged Attack: Power Whip
Torterra	Grass Ground	Fast Attack: Razor Leaf Charged Attack: Frenzy Plant
Lucario	Fighting Steel	Fast Attack: Counter Charged Attack: Aura Sphere

Third Round: Torterra, Tyranitar, Swampert

Pokemon - Torterra, Swampert, and Tyranitar (from the anime)

Torterra				Tyranitar				Swampert
Type	Grass Ground			Type	Rock Dark			Type	Water Ground
Weak To...	Ice Bug Fire Flying	Resistant To...	Ground Rock Electric	Weak To...	Bug Fairy Fighting Grass Ground Steel Water	Resistant To...	Dark Fire Flying Ghost Normal Poison Psychic	Weak To...	Grass	Resistant To...	Electric Fire Poison Rock Steel

Cliff's third and final Pokemon will either be Swampert, Tyranitar, or Torterra. Even more powerful than the last, these are the real challenge in the fight.

As with the previous round of combat, there's some overlap between which Pokemon are useful. If you're preparing in advance, you'll have time to build up a Pokemon that, odds are, will serve you well in this battle. Since two of Cliff's options are weak to Bug-type Pokemon, the Mythical Genesect is a good choice.

Suggested Counters: Torterra

Pokemon	Type	Recommended Moves
Reshiram	Dragon Fire	Fast Attack: Fire Fang Charged Attack: Overheat
Darmanitan (Galarian)	Ice	Fast Attack: Ice Fang Charged Attack: Avalanche
Genesect	Bug Steel	Fast Attack: Fury Cutter Charged Attack: X-Scissor

Suggested Counters: Tyranitar
