Arlo, the human manifestation of the phrase “up to no good,” is causing trouble in February 2023 with his new lineup of pocket monsters in Pokémon GO. While this trickster’s combatants should not be anything new to long-time players, knowing the best counters for each and how to form an optimal team can be challenging. Like other Team GO Rocket Leaders, summoning Arlo involves crafting a Rocket Radar after defeating six Grunts. Once equipped, the device will lead you straight to the knave himself, or vice versa.
