Pokemon GO: How to Beat Sierra (January 2021) | Game Rant

The majority of players in Pokemon GO will encounter members of Team GO Rocket as they travel around and visit PokeStops. While many of the grunts are pushovers and no threat most of the time, the leaders of Team GO Rocket are a different story.

There are three different administrative leaders that players can initially face in Pokemon GO. Each of them have their own strengths and weaknesses, but they will be a challenge for most players facing them for the first time.
