3. Gallade

Sierra’s Gardevoir is complemented by Cliff’s Gallade, which is an equally oppressive choice for his second Pokémon slot. Similar to Aerodactyl, this Fighting/Psychic-type Pokémon in Pokémon Go has fairly balanced stats that enable it to both deals a respectable amount of damage to most opponents as well as absorb some of the damage that is dealt to it.

Gallade’s Flying-type weakness can be exploited by battling it with Flying-type Pokémon like Staraptor, Pidgeot, Lugia, and Charizard. Due to their resistance to many of Gallade’s attacks, bringing in Fairy-types like Azumarill, Gardevoir, Togekiss, Tapu Lele, and Sylveon can help players deal extremely effective damage while also taking less damage themselves.

2. Cradily

Cliff may be able to face off against opponents by using Cradily as his second Pokémon, continuing the theme of ancient Pokémon that have been revived from fossils. Cradily is a dual-type Pokémon, meaning it can use moves from both the Rock and the Grass types to attack and defend against attacks from many other types.

Fortunately for players, Cradily fills the role of a tank, and as such, its attack stat is inferior to that of the other Pokémon in Cliff’s party. As a result, players can bring Steel-type Pokémon like Metagross, Lucario, Excadrill, Scizor, and Empoleon to counteract Cradily’s bulk without risk, though they should be cautious of Bulldoze. Machamp, Hariyama, Breloom, Mienshao, Hitmontop, and Sirfetch are examples of Fighting-type Pokémon that can deal extremely effective damage to Cradily while fending off its Rock-type attacks.

1. Aerodactyl

Cliff proves that he is not going to concede without a fight by using the Shadow Pokémon Aerodactyl to confront trainers at the outset of the conflict in this Go Rocket takeover.

To avoid losing any of their team members—possibly not being able to afford any knockouts at all due to the powerhouses Cliff has not yet sent out—players must be vigilant. This ancient Rock/Flying-type Pokémon has a sky-high attack stat as well as above-average HP and defense stats. Aerodactyl may initially seem to be best countered by Electric-type Pokémon, but players must be aware that Earth Power could be used as its Charge Attack. As a result, strong Water-type attackers like Swampert, Blastoise, Suicune, and Tapu Fini are much better choices in this scenario.

In exchange for defeating Cliff’s team of Shadow Pokémon, players will receive several items and the opportunity to capture Cliff’s Shadow Aerodactyl. Though it is not very likely, this Shadow Pokémon might also be Shiny when it is encountered.
