Team Rocket, the Pokemon series' iconic villains, are a big part of Pokemon Go too. You need to battle their leaders to get rewards that help you improve your squad, with beating Sierra being a key test.
Table of Contents
Sierra is one of the leaders you'll have to face and she can be quite tough. To help, we've got a low down on what you'll need to do to counter her and come away with the rewards.
Sierra's Pokemon Lineup
Sierra has a selection of Pokemon she tends to use, but she always starts fights with Carvanha. To beat Sierra, you'll want to use Pokemon that are good against it.
After you knock Carvanha out, you'll then have to face one of Hippowdon, Porygon-Z or Mismagius, and then one of Flygon, Houndoom or Walrein in the final fight.

- Conkeldurr
- Lucario
- Machamp
- Kyogre
Walrein
Finally, Walrein is weak to Fighting, Grass, Electric, and Rock types, since it's pure water type. You can use:

How to Beat Sierra
Looking over the best counters for Sierra's Pokemon, there are a few Pokemon that will be good against a few of your opponents. The likes of Machamp, Lucario, Electivire, Tyranitar, and Kyogre will be good against a few foes.
Therefore, focus on using Pokemon that'll be useful against multiple, since you don't necessarily know who Sierra will use. Hopefully that help you come out on top.
