Sierra is one of the three team rocket leaders you can go up against once you’ve got enough Mysterious Components to make a Rocket Radar. You need to use your Rocket Radars when going up against this team leader, as a cost. But as a reward for beating the Team Leader you get stardust, items and you’ll also get special eggs that can hatch exclusive Pokemon.

As for which Team Leader you’ll go up against, they’re pretty much random. If you don’t like one and would rather go up against another, you can either wait or you can go to a different PokeStop. Each leader has a different team, but their team is always the same. So as long as you know which Leader you’re against, you can know what type match-up you need.

Sierra’s Team Counters in Pokemon GO

Sierra will only have a team of these Pokemon. As for which you’ll encounter during your battle, that can vary from encounter to encounter. But if you’re knocked out from the first battle, don’t worry, if you re-try it’ll remain the same team. So you can prepare accordingly.

Nidoran Counters

When it comes to Sierra’s first Nidoran. It’s pretty easy, you’ll want to go up against it with either a Ground or Psychic type. strong one of these can very quickly shred through Nidoran.

Beedrill, Vileplume or Slowbro Counters

The second one is up and it could be any of these three. In each case, each will have a different weakness. Below are each of the types you’ll want to use against them.

Beedrill: Fire, Flying, Psychic and Rock.

Vileplume: Rock, Ground, Fire, Ice or Psychic.

Slowbro: Bug, Dark, Electric, Grass and Ghost.

Houndoom, Marowak or Nidoqueen Counters

The third wave will have you see yourself against one of these three. Here are their individual weaknesses:

Houndoom: Fighting, Ground, Rock and Water.

Marowak: Water, Grass and Ice.

Nidoqueen: Psychic, Ground, Water and Ice.

So as you can see, your best bet for Sierra’s third Pokemon is a good water type, cause no matter which Pokemon she has, you’ll be set.

Basically, you only need to be careful of Sierra’s second Pokemon, but if you start with a good Ground or Psychic type, then finish with a water type, you’ll sail through it.

Tip: Don’t waste your barriers on Nidoran, it’s not the heaviest hitter and you can usually tank its attacks. But, it’s best you save your shields for the harder and heavier hitters.
