Screen Rant

To beat Sierra in September 2022, Pokémon GO Trainers must have a general understanding of the potential lineup the Team Rocket Leader might use.

Now that Pokémon GO Trainers have entered the month of September 2022, it is important to know the lineup of Pokémon Sierra might dispatch during an encounter with the Team Rocket Leader. To confront this foe, players must collect six Mysterious Components, after which they will be able to craft the Rocket Radar. This device pinpoints the AR location of a random Team Rocket GO Leader in Pokémon GO. Mysterious Components are gathered from defeating Team Rocket Grunts, who will frequently appear at PokéStops or in hot air balloons.

Sierra can be a challenging opponent to take down due to the elemental diversity in her team comp in Pokémon GO. In one round, she might dispatch a Water-type pocket monster, after which she will suddenly send out a Dark-type Pokémon to take its place. Furthermore, the randomness of the combatants she picks is also a factor that might result in one's failure to defeat her.

Fortunately, Dexerto has provided the Pokémon GO community with the potential team comps that Sierra can use in combat. While each of her waves is still dependent on RNG, knowing which opponents players might face is essential for beating this Team Rocket GO Leader in September 2022.

Here is an index of Pokémon that Sierra will use during September 2022 in Pokémon GO. Additional information regarding their type, weaknesses, and possible counters has also been provided, thanks to research by Pokebattler.

Wave	Pokémon	Type	Elemental Weakness	Top 5 Counters
1	Squirtle	Water	Grass Electric	Electivire Tangrowth Chesnaught Simisage Magnezone
2	Blaziken	Fighting & Fire	Flying Ground Water Psychic	Espeon Alakazam Garchomp Swampert Samurott
	Lapras	Water & Ice	Fighting Rock Grass Electric	Lucario Conkeldurr Rampardos Machamp Electivire
	Blastoise	Water	Grass Electric	Magnezone Electivire Luxray Venusaur Tangrowth

	Drapion	Poison & Dark	Ground	Excadrill Garchomp Rhyperior Krookodile Mamoswine
	Nidoqueen	Poison & Ground	Ground Water Psychic Ice	Alakazam Espeon Galarian Darmanitan Mamoswine Kingler

A balanced team that should have no trouble beating Pokémon GO's Sierra in September 2022 would be Electivire, Alakazam, and Rhyperior. These three picks provide counters against four common elemental weaknesses in her lineup, which include Fighting, Electric, Psychic, and Ground. Ultimately, which Pokémon are taken into battle against Sierra will depend on the player's available roster. Still, it is safe to assume that they have a strong chance of winning if they use Movesets that offer these four elements in Pokémon GO.
