Beating Cliff in Pokémon GO during April 2023 is a matter of organizing a solid team to face his own creatures. The notably strong Team GO Rocket Leader may ironically be the weakest among his colleagues, Arlo and Sierra. Nonetheless, he can bring along a deceiving team lineup which could mess up a player’s plans on countering him. Like the other Team GO Rocket Leaders in Pokémon GO, his first Shadow Pokémon is a fixed one. However, his second creature can be one out of three – this also applies to his third Pokémon.
In total, and disregarding his first one, Team GO Rocket Leader Cliff will bring two of the six possible options to the field. As such, preparing a team with counters in Pokémon GO to cover as many of those possibilities is the optimal strategy. Luckily, his team variety can mostly be covered without any spaces for Pokémon going without countering.
Pokémon GO: Cliff’s Team In April 2023 & Counters
Cliff’s team in Pokémon GO during April 2023 is an easy one to counter. His first Pokémon is a Magnemite, which is very weak. The Team GO Rocket Leader’s second creature, however, can be Venusaur, Pinsir, or Omastar. His third and final Pokémon can be Tyranitar, Sharpedo, or Camerupt. Thanks to this possible lineup, if players choose strong Pokémon of three different Pokémon GO types, they should have themselves covered against all the Pokémon he can throw out. Below, players can check the best possible counters for each of his creatures.

The best tip to beat Cliff in Pokémon GO with his lineup in April 2023 is to build a team with the following three types: Fire-, Fighting-, and Ground-type Pokémon. A Fire-type should grant an advantage against his first Pokémon and two of his second ones. A Fighting-type can also counter his first Magnemite, while also countering one of his second Pokémon and two of his third Pokémon.
Lastly, a Ground-type can counter Magnemite, Omastar, Tyranitar, and Camerupt. As such, a team lineup of Reshiram, Machamp (or Shadow Machamp), and Primal Groudon should be more than enough to both cover his weaknesses, but also guarantee an easy victory in Pokémon GO.
