© Provided by GamePur There are three Team Rocket leaders you need to battle in Pokémon Go. Sierra is one of these leaders, and she normally has some of the stronger Pokémon in her roster. You can battle her if you have a Rocket Radar. She'll appear in a Team Rocket Balloon or at a captured Poké Stop. With Giovanni returning back to his old antics in March 2021, you'll need to defeat Sierra, along with the other two Team Rocket leaders, to earn an opportunity to take down Giovanni. However, despite Giovanni returning for the Season of Legends with a new shadow Pokémon, Sierra does not have a new rotation of Pokémon from the ones she used in February 2021.
First Pokémon
The first Pokémon Sierra will use in the battle will be Carvanha, a Water and Dark-type Pokémon. Carvanha is weak to Bug, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Grass-type attacks. Of the weaknesses, we recommend using a Pokémon that has an Electric or Grass-type move. There are several Pokémon you can choose to take into battle, but we recommend Lucario, Machamp, Heracross, Electivire, Raikou, or Roserade.
Second Pokémon
This is the second Pokémon Sierra might use against you for her second Pokémon choice.
- Hippowdon (Ground-type)
- Porygon-Z (Normal-type)
- Mismagius (Ghost-type)
Given what we know about Sierra's roster, this group is primarily weak to Dark, Grass, Ice, and Water-type moves. You're better off using Poliwrath to fight both of them, and you can also consider using Kyogre, Gyarados, Swampert, Lapras, Sismitoad, Tangrowth, Alola Exeggutor, Roserade, or Chesnaught.
Third Pokémon
These are the final Pokémon choices Sierra might use against you as her third pick.
- Houndoom (Dark and Fire-type)
- Flygon (Dragon and Ground-type)
- Walrein (Ice and Water-type)
Given her choices, these Pokémon will be weak to Dragon, Fairy, Fighting, Ground, and Rock-type moves. You have a bit more variety than the other options. We'd recommend using Garchomp, Machamp, Conkeldurr, Hearcross, Gallade, Sirfetch'd, Rhyperior, Krookodile, or Donphan.
Once you've defeated Sierra, you'll have the chance to capture her shadow Carvanha, and evolve it into a Sharpedo. It does have a chance to be shiny.
After defeating Sierra, you'll be one step closer to completing The Higher They Fly special research project. You need to defeat all three Team Rocket leaders to carve your path to battle against Giovanni, and rescue shadow Articuno in March 2021.
