@@Mindyourlanguagedear a lot have that problem. i'm level 38,and i have oen tyranotar ,one mewtwo, one big ice-bor.(without ice attcks). that game clearly tends to be fun only for people who can aford to play it 3 hours per day and buy a lot of Raid Passes. And have a somehow organised raiding gang. i don't have that,so 5 star raids are not possible. which means no maxed out anything big. i managed to get machamps, but they fall like wet leaves vs Rockets. like bassicaly all of the monsters. how we are supposed to win a 3v3 when the enemy starts with 10k CP? no idea.
@@TanTan-ir9xh you didnt get the magnezone battle did you. There no way a newish account can do that battle well, as the only decent tanky boi/2 bar dps fire types are old raidbosses or community day mons.
Thank you so much. I fought Cliff 7 times and the first battle after watching this video, I WON!!! (Used Machamp, Mamoswine and Gyrados) Awesome tips, thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Niantic should drop more potions and a LOT of revives. Few hours ago I use to have 180+potions and around 210-220 revives and now I am down to less than 25. 😥
power up the useful stuff and you will use one hyper potion for each grunt and 2 max revives for each ocket boss. by the power of tankiness + a fast move that charges up a lot + a charged move with 3 bars giratina with legs is basically unbeatable. the only things you have to fear are snorlax with lick and tyranitar with bite, but you can bring 2 other pokemons with you, for that.
his gyarados is the one that's giving me problems his dps is completely unreal in my opinion I beat it once and couldn't get passed scizor due to being so weak after the gyarados
Nick's ex Sierra creamed my Pokemon with her Lapras I didn't even get a chance to see her third pokemon. I'm level 40 been playing since the start basically. I defiantly have high level Pokemon. Clearly I need more rare candy and dust to level up some of my Pokemon who I thought where hi powered that clearly where a joke to Sierra I'm not looking forward to Arlo.
Arlo Scyther destroyed my perfect TTar last night.... Here’s what I used to beat! CP2657 Alolan Golem 15/14/10 RockThrow/WildCharge CP3224 Mewtwo 13/13/12 Psychic/PsyStrike CP2977 Machamp 13/12/14 Counter/DPunch Golem up first against Scyther, rock throw to charge and shield their first charge then you get your first charge off. Keep tapping and you can knock Scyther out. Crobat was #2, now use your other charge and now there is no more shields for them to use and you still have 1. Let Crobat knock out golem and now use mewtwo. Psystrike charges quick and one hit will severely damage Crobat or knock it out. The last Pokemon was Scizor. You will get one more charged psystrike off but it’s not very effective. Let Scizor knock out mewtwo. Machamp is the final, charge up dynamic punch and use your last shield to block Scizor. Dynamic punch for the WIN It ain’t much, but it’s honest work lol
@@AcidWaves80 i agree. I just used this strategy literally 4 times and just when I was about to defeat dragonite, he kills me. I'm starting to believe that TR bosses are impossible to defeat, and Niantic are being A-holes
@@ilovebook95 they are assholes. I gave up on these bosses. It's just a cash grab to deplete your resources so you buy more. Only the virgins of the world that spend 24/7 on this game have beaten these bosses
I fought Cliff today, he had Meowth, Flygon & Tyranitar & I woooooon :D What I used in order: - CP 2648 Machamp 5/10/9 with Counter, Dynamic Punch & Close Combat - CP 2977 Mamoswine 14/13/13 with Powder Snow & Bulldoze - CP 2682 Machamp 15/15/4 with Bullet Punch & Dynamic Punch. the fight was easy for me, when I lost Mamoswine his Tyranitar was half HP already. But I think if my second Machamp knew Counter, I would have finished his Tyranitar even sooner than I did. I hope someone finds this useful & thank you Nick for the great content.
@@Windrake101 I run under the general assumption that if you have a rhyperior worth Fielding, you've gone and blasted him with TMs to get him to Smack Down/Stone Edge.
@@timburke2820 that's exactly what mine knows. Mine was able to burn through his scyther, and magnazone before falling to his Dragonite. Unfortunately I had to use my hydrocannon swampart to burm through his shields.
I used a jacked up Magnezone against Scyther which was great. The charge move got rid of both of its shields. I used Groudon against his Magnezone and then a Mewtwo with ice beam against Dragonite. Took me a lot of battles to figure out that this team worked for me!! Good luck!
I faced Cliff for the first time this morning, he was a bit cocky about being a boss and losing lol. He had Meowth, Sandslash and Tyranitar. I beat him with Gengar 98%, Dragonite 84% and Vaporeon 91% first go. I only got 3 premier balls and got the shadow Meowth.

Hi Nick. Love your videos... I just wanted to mention that you screen text "flashes" are usually a bit too fast. If your goal is to make people rewind and pause, that's cool... but on some types of devices that's harder to do than it is on a computer running TH-cam in a browser.
Thank-you so much for this Nick! You and Sierra.....adorable, I love it 😆 Reminds me of the days when I was completely obsessed with Solid Snake....lol...Thanks so much for the Arlo team....Gosh darn it, I hate him so much lol, no matter what I tried he was just killing me! I eventually after half an hour and several attempts I got fed up and went to battle someone - ANYONE - else!! Level 40 player been playing since day 1 but don't really play PvP....Arlo made me feel like a complete noob 😂
WOW MY LUCK! I havnt played go in a while so I came back to check it out after this update. I stored my breakthru box and got shiny kyogre. And I was like watch this be a shiny 😂
I am glad you found Arlo to fight, I had a terrible time last night against his Scyther, Magnezone, and Scizor. I used Go Hub's recommended line up at first, but Tyranitar gets shredded by Scyther's Fury Cutter so it is awful to bring. Melmetal is where it is at for sure. Great video!
Austin Schaefer I beat cliff on like 2nd try. Sierra I didn’t have too many problems. But arlo, I still haven’t beat and since these leaders came out stupid revives have STOPPED it seems. I literally have at least 30 Pokémon unusable until I get revives
love your videos. specially when it involves sierra and your PoGo squad. so far i only fought arlo and cliff and i wanna share that the first time i fought arlo, i defeated him first try with a melmetal and two machamps. but next time i lost 4 times until i tried 2 melmetal and entei as finisher.
There's a rocket leader pokestop right outside my front porch today (I live next to the opening of a public river path lol) so I looked up some tips in preparation and I didn't realize how hard the leaders are lol...I assumed they would be just slightly stronger than the grunts, some of which I have struggled with especially the one with a tough tyranitar. I'm only level 23 and my best pokemon is a level 1800 ish cp milotic. Back to the grind I guess.
My gf and I came across arlo at one of the stops we hit over the weekend. she had a dragonite that completely destroyed my party the first time. On the retry I hit her with some ice pokemon and demolished her party lol
Melmetal is really good for team rocket battles because it can get to it's charged so fast, it can get there almost before team rocket starts attacking again. I have one with 3050cp it's a absolute monster with thunder shock and thunderbolt. and yes I know it can be hard to get your hands on but if you have one use it!
I have played since release and still have yet to get a machamp. I have not found a single one in Florida. The few that I have found were from eggs and one short trip I took out west.
Here’s my set, and it made Arlo the one Rocket Leader I beat first go: Regirock- Lock-On/Stone Edge Melmetal- Thundershock/Rock Slide Magnezone- Spark/Wild Charge & Flash Cannon
Fighting types are rare in my area. Out of 19,673 caught Pokémon, only 38 of them have been in the Machop evolution line. So no, I don’t have a good, powered up Machamp.
2:56 I would strongly advise against using Tyranitar against Arlo. It's weak to bug so Scyther will absolutely melt it with Fury Cutter. Melmetal is better also Swampert with Muddy water to spam and get rid of those shields. Also a dragon breath/dragon claw mon works well too. :) *edit* Saw you recommended Melmetal over Tyranitar later in the video lol.
A tip from me. I took down Cliff with these: Two not maxed out Tyranitars(first one with a fast power up, second a 100% with stone edge) and a Vaporeon 97.5(on infernape).
@@fburnatv4245 finally beaten Arlo with Melmetal (thunder shock/bolt), Ttar (Smack Down/Stone Edge) and Entie (Fire Fang/Fire Blast). Best after 20th time lol.
I think it's kind of useful to start with a Pokemon with a fast charge move to get the shields out of the way quicker. if your starter has two moves that might be even better so you can still have a power move on the back burner.
Today I faced Cliff, and this was the team I used to counter his. It really steamrolled him. Cliff: Meowth, Sandslash, Tyranitar Me: Machamp Co-DP 15/15/15, Glaceon PS-Av 15/15/15, Rhyperior SD-Su 15/15/15 (Yes all maxed out perfects, not sure if it made a huge difference or not) Machamp can kill Meowth with only Counters and store your dynamic punch here, swap to Glaceon when it faints. Fire off 2 Avalanches and shield all its attacks to exhaust Cliff's shields, should kill with Powder Snows alone. Rhyperior was not used in this, the idea was it could be capable vs Infernape and Tyranitar for the 2/3 chance, and always saving Machamp's Dynamic Punches for Tyranitar or Torterra. Either way, I swapped back to Machamp once Glaceon Died to Tyranitar and DP for the win. If there was no Sandslash or Flygon Glaceon would not be worth using. Mammoswine is better to use if you got one, I just wanted to see if the glaceon would work.
A bit budget pokemon for the leader.... Cliff: 1.Medicham 2.Glaceon 3.Rainer. Arlo: 1Golem(evolve from Graveler from Geodude) 2.Arcanine 3 Zebstrika or Stunfisk(better with Galarian forme) Sierra: 1:Medicham 2.Absol(easily hacth from 12km egg) 3:Azumarill. Remember all this pokemon can be hatch from egg and can also be obtain from Battle League 3rd reward for winning.
After facing a couple leaders, knowing the right type of pokemon the leaders have help a lot, but what also help for is having a Pokemon that can waste their shield early. After shields are gone my next 2 pokemon as long it's the right type finish the job
Against Arlo, lead with Charizard with blast burn and dragon claw. You double resist bug moves, and can burn Arlo's shields with dragon claw. T-Tar does not resist scyther and even a maxed one gets almost completely destroyed before it can knock out scyther. Also smack down charges crazy slow so you burn no shields.
I will say that cliff battle was lucky as heck... meowth didnt have scratch, snorlax didnt have lick/outrage, and tyranitar didnt have bite/earthquake that setup is such a pain took multiple tries to get it beat.
haven't got to the leaders yet, but I was wondering with the suggested counters, if you take second moves into account, would others also make the cut. for example, I have a 15/15/14 psystrike/icebeam mewtwo, would he be worth taking into the team against Cliff?
For Arlo with his setup take advantage of the Smack Down Stone Edge Tyranitar, Groudon and a Moltres for his Scyther, Magnezone and Scizor. Scizor has one one weakness(Fire) and Magnezone is double weak to ground.
Starting Swampert with mud shot (high energy per turn) and muddy water (low energy cost) you can easily burn shields (regardless of the leader your battling). Since I started using Swampert in the first position I haven't failed a battle yet. Still gotta use good counters for 2nd and 3rd pokemon and use well-timed switches if needed. Burning shields early has been the best thing for these folks.
I barely won Arlo with a trash team,here are his pokemon 1.Scyther 2.Magnezone 3.Gyrados I used 1.Tyranitar Cp 2313 2.Arcanine. Cp 2071 3.Tyranitar. Cp 2300 It was close but i beat the shit out of him at least,also,you dont need really high cp pokemon as it kinda adjusts the cp of his to yours
TocoCoco123 do the special research. You have to gather six “mysterious components” from fighting the normal team rocket grunts and then it gives you a radar to find them.
Magnezone also does well as a safe lead against Arlo and against most of his team just like Melmetal. It’s a little lesser of a version but sometimes a little easier for people to get.
I was on a walk with my mom and she was challenged against sierra. What was weird is that she had beldum as her first. The other two were normal being hypno and houndoom. Is there something wrong or was there a update
Hey Nick, huge fun here! Keep doing what you do... btw, the new camera works really well. 😉 I used to play pkgo in gen1 then I stopped and now I started again. I need your help though. I need a guide for skill sets any suggestions? Where can I found a good one?
I have a 100iv Tyranitar with Smack Down/Stone Edge. He's the pride of my collection. And Aldo's Scyther shreds him to confetti. It's absurd how OP that bug is. He can use four charged attacks before Tyranitar uses two, and his TWO SHIELDS (not mentioned in the video) nullify your first two charged attacks. This makes Tyranitar ineffective against Scyther in the lead-off spot. I get half through his health and usually fall painfully shy of a third - and finally effective - charged attack. Basically we need a tank, with super-fast charged attacks, to just get through those first two shields. Then Tyranitar might be useful.
Samuel Gauna for Bagon you would probably want an ice type. Charizard, dragonite, Salamence and scizor should be beaten easily by a good rock type. For Blastoise and Steelix another ice type or a frenzy plant venusaur or something should do it.
Hey bro been pumping your channel great content I probably forgot to like some Caz iam just slamming through them all that help me I watch them over and over so I probably will get back to liking them all just wanted to say thanks dude great job loved the Sydney ones Caz iam from there
Cliff: Stantler, Marowak, Tyranitar. Counters are the very ones as recommended in this video for Cliff, even just Tyranitar is present in the matchup.1.Fighting(Machamp) ->Stantler , 2. Ice ->Marowak( used Glaceon @2400CP, since all my Piggies evolve with bad moves) 3. Fighting(Machamp) -> Tyranitar. Had to try twice, and swap last spot Gyrados with yet another Fighting (Machamp) ->Tyranitar. Imo Stantler gave me the most spanking, not sure about his moves in those battles. GL
Just throwing this out there, but Slaking worked very well for me for taking out shields. I know most people don’t like him. But if you have a powered up Community Day Slaking, the Body Slam move is quite spammy and very effective to bait shields.
I always have Swampert with mud shot + hydro cannon on my first slot to lure their shields. It's super fast charging. The minus is that I would only have 2 more slots for counters.
Nick: "I think everyone has a good machamp by now"
Me a level 30 casual without a machamp let alone a good one: "Am I a joke to you?"
P0kemonPr0 youTube and then the rest of the Pokémon are from five star raids. I have no one to battle with so there’s no chance of even having those😩

When I fought Sierra she has always lead with absol 😕
Thanks, Nick. You have always been my go-to guy when I want help. Nice second hundo!
Nick: “Everyone has at least one good Machamp”
Me: *looking around for this Everyone you speak of*
Nah, I feel most players at lvl 30 or higher has one good Machamp
I never could pass up a Machop raid, so I do have some good Machamps
I have a whole team of powered machamps including 2 100%s
I don't even have machamp
Fighting types are rare in my area. Out of 19,673 caught Pokémon, only 38 of them have been in the Machop evolution line. So no, I don’t have a good, powered up Machamp.
I started Pokémon Go recently but I can't play it too much. Got any tips for new players?
Why aren’t you at 1 million subs yet 😫😫😫😫😫😫😭😭😭
I found that a Gyarados' HP bar can easily be zeroed by one Thunderbolt.
I don't even have good pokemon and even when I have the counters always fail I hate these new leaders
While I don’t hate them, I certainly feel the difficulty curve ROCKETS when it comes to these bosses
2:56 I would strongly advise against using Tyranitar against Arlo. It's weak to bug so Scyther will absolutely melt it with Fury Cutter. Melmetal is better also Swampert with Muddy water to spam and get rid of those shields. Also a dragon breath/dragon claw mon works well too. :) *edit* Saw you recommended Melmetal over Tyranitar later in the video lol.
13:48 looks like you have a stalker walking around in a bra

A tip from me. I took down Cliff with these: Two not maxed out Tyranitars(first one with a fast power up, second a 100% with stone edge) and a Vaporeon 97.5(on infernape).
Is this guy unraveling? Looks like hes going through it
Hi Guys
May I know if we could beat all the three-team leaders before going to step 3 then we don't have to fight again at step 4?
Thanks, Arlo kicked my @$$ squarely twice already
Tom Young I went through a few before I finally went with 2 Tyranitar both with Smack Down/Stone Edge and Blaziken(Fire Spin/Blast Burn)
@@fburnatv4245 much appreciated. I guess 10th time is the charm for me. Wish me luck!
Tom Young good luck. Let me know how it goes and what team you went with.
I beat him with 2 Mamoswine and a Typhlosion.
@@fburnatv4245 finally beaten Arlo with Melmetal (thunder shock/bolt), Ttar (Smack Down/Stone Edge) and Entie (Fire Fang/Fire Blast). Best after 20th time lol.
I think it's kind of useful to start with a Pokemon with a fast charge move to get the shields out of the way quicker. if your starter has two moves that might be even better so you can still have a power move on the back burner.
I don't have all of that recommended pokemon
Today I faced Cliff, and this was the team I used to counter his. It really steamrolled him.
Cliff: Meowth, Sandslash, Tyranitar
Me: Machamp Co-DP 15/15/15, Glaceon PS-Av 15/15/15, Rhyperior SD-Su 15/15/15 (Yes all maxed out perfects, not sure if it made a huge difference or not)
Machamp can kill Meowth with only Counters and store your dynamic punch here, swap to Glaceon when it faints. Fire off 2 Avalanches and shield all its attacks to exhaust Cliff's shields, should kill with Powder Snows alone. Rhyperior was not used in this, the idea was it could be capable vs Infernape and Tyranitar for the 2/3 chance, and always saving Machamp's Dynamic Punches for Tyranitar or Torterra. Either way, I swapped back to Machamp once Glaceon Died to Tyranitar and DP for the win. If there was no Sandslash or Flygon Glaceon would not be worth using. Mammoswine is better to use if you got one, I just wanted to see if the glaceon would work.
16:52 lol
A bit budget pokemon for the leader.... Cliff: 1.Medicham 2.Glaceon 3.Rainer. Arlo: 1Golem(evolve from Graveler from Geodude) 2.Arcanine 3 Zebstrika or Stunfisk(better with Galarian forme) Sierra: 1:Medicham 2.Absol(easily hacth from 12km egg) 3:Azumarill. Remember all this pokemon can be hatch from egg and can also be obtain from Battle League 3rd reward for winning.
Damn almost a mill I was here since 200k 😭
Here since 50k 😭
Lol both of you are lying stop fishing for likes
@@enzo_1565 I'm not dude
All I know is I remember his 100th episode and how he “doesn’t celebrate milestones” lol I don’t pay attention to subs
@@enzo_1565 Im not dude
Will there ever be more trainer tips pop sockets to purchase? New fan of yours and pokemon go and I'd love to sport some of your gear!
Terrible that they can use shields, It's like doing a T5 raid with a pidgey
Love this episode! Right to the information!!! I'm a subscriber (again) :)
1000% done with the joke that he is obsessed with Sierra.
1000% not done because this shit is hilarious
Man, that Michelle Branch throwback was a nice touch. I was bursting out laughing because of it. Keep up the good work.
Hey! Leave Nick and Sierra alone. They make a great couple...
of Pokemon trainers 🤨
Nick, is it worth to double move machamp bening that he can lead every battle? By that I mean to take shields down faster.
i was lucky enough to get 2 unova stones from cliff
Thank you for this video, I couldn’t beat one Team GO Rocket Boss but after watching this video I defeated one with two Pokemon still alive :)
Omg are we actually getting tips. Instead of just a blog
Can you make an updated one? because cliff has an aerodactyl in his first slot.
Someone is in love ahhh cute she hot
After facing a couple leaders, knowing the right type of pokemon the leaders have help a lot, but what also help for is having a Pokemon that can waste their shield early. After shields are gone my next 2 pokemon as long it's the right type finish the job
Against Arlo, lead with Charizard with blast burn and dragon claw. You double resist bug moves, and can burn Arlo's shields with dragon claw. T-Tar does not resist scyther and even a maxed one gets almost completely destroyed before it can knock out scyther. Also smack down charges crazy slow so you burn no shields.
I will say that cliff battle was lucky as heck... meowth didnt have scratch, snorlax didnt have lick/outrage, and tyranitar didnt have bite/earthquake that setup is such a pain took multiple tries to get it beat.
Ttar can't have earthquake
Lucario with Power up Punch is a really good lead for Cliff. The PuP allows for really good shield baiting.
haven't got to the leaders yet, but I was wondering with the suggested counters, if you take second moves into account, would others also make the cut. for example, I have a 15/15/14 psystrike/icebeam mewtwo, would he be worth taking into the team against Cliff?
youre doing great nick, really enjoying this :)
For Arlo with his setup take advantage of the Smack Down Stone Edge Tyranitar, Groudon and a Moltres for his Scyther, Magnezone and Scizor. Scizor has one one weakness(Fire) and Magnezone is double weak to ground.
Starting Swampert with mud shot (high energy per turn) and muddy water (low energy cost) you can easily burn shields (regardless of the leader your battling). Since I started using Swampert in the first position I haven't failed a battle yet. Still gotta use good counters for 2nd and 3rd pokemon and use well-timed switches if needed. Burning shields early has been the best thing for these folks.
I barely won Arlo with a trash team,here are his pokemon
1.Scyther
2.Magnezone
3.Gyrados
I used
1.Tyranitar Cp 2313
2.Arcanine. Cp 2071
3.Tyranitar. Cp 2300
It was close but i beat the shit out of him at least,also,you dont need really high cp pokemon as it kinda adjusts the cp of his to yours
What lvl do you have to be to fight them and we’re do you find them
TocoCoco123 do the special research. You have to gather six “mysterious components” from fighting the normal team rocket grunts and then it gives you a radar to find them.
Steve Sharpe thanks for telling me
Magnezone also does well as a safe lead against Arlo and against most of his team just like Melmetal. It’s a little lesser of a version but sometimes a little easier for people to get.
I was on a walk with my mom and she was challenged against sierra. What was weird is that she had beldum as her first. The other two were normal being hypno and houndoom. Is there something wrong or was there a update
Hey Nick, huge fun here! Keep doing what you do... btw, the new camera works really well. 😉
I used to play pkgo in gen1 then I stopped and now I started again. I need your help though. I need a guide for skill sets any suggestions? Where can I found a good one?
I have a 100iv Tyranitar with Smack Down/Stone Edge. He's the pride of my collection. And Aldo's Scyther shreds him to confetti. It's absurd how OP that bug is. He can use four charged attacks before Tyranitar uses two, and his TWO SHIELDS (not mentioned in the video) nullify your first two charged attacks. This makes Tyranitar ineffective against Scyther in the lead-off spot. I get half through his health and usually fall painfully shy of a third - and finally effective - charged attack.
Basically we need a tank, with super-fast charged attacks, to just get through those first two shields. Then Tyranitar might be useful.
Can you make an update video to this? I just battled Arlo and he had a
Bagon
Blastoise
And a Salamance
Samuel Gauna for Bagon you would probably want an ice type. Charizard, dragonite, Salamence and scizor should be beaten easily by a good rock type. For Blastoise and Steelix another ice type or a frenzy plant venusaur or something should do it.
Hey bro been pumping your channel great content I probably forgot to like some Caz iam just slamming through them all that help me I watch them over and over so I probably will get back to liking them all just wanted to say thanks dude great job loved the Sydney ones Caz iam from there
Cliff: Stantler, Marowak, Tyranitar. Counters are the very ones as recommended in this video for Cliff, even just Tyranitar is present in the matchup.1.Fighting(Machamp) ->Stantler , 2. Ice ->Marowak( used Glaceon @2400CP, since all my Piggies evolve with bad moves) 3. Fighting(Machamp) -> Tyranitar. Had to try twice, and swap last spot Gyrados with yet another Fighting (Machamp) ->Tyranitar. Imo Stantler gave me the most spanking, not sure about his moves in those battles. GL
I've just been dumping loads of revives and potions the past couple days....but I definitely dig this new Rocket leader stuff. Love a good challenge.
Just throwing this out there, but Slaking worked very well for me for taking out shields. I know most people don’t like him. But if you have a powered up Community Day Slaking, the Body Slam move is quite spammy and very effective to bait shields.
I've encounter cliff, the team he had was Meowth, Flygon and Toterra.
I've successfully countered with Hariyama, Mamoswine and Glaceon.
I always have Swampert with mud shot + hydro cannon on my first slot to lure their shields. It's super fast charging. The minus is that I would only have 2 more slots for counters.
