How To Beat Cliff | Pokémon GO | Guide January 2022

The leaders of Team GO Rocket are back in force in Pokémon Go. We explain how to easily overcome Cliff for this month of January 2022.

As you most certainly know, the leaders of Team Go Rocket are formidable adversaries. While minions are widely available to anyone who wants to take on them, an opponent like Cliff is much tougher and requires minimal preparation.

Of the three leaders of Team Go Rocket, Cliff was previously probably the most problematic especially because of his Ptera that you faced in the first round. Here is everything you need to know to overcome this high-ranking Team Go Rocket and his team much less terrifying than before.
