Appropriate for her sneaky, gremlin-like behavior as a Team Go Rocket Leader, Sierra’s lineup for November 2023 in Pokemon Go begins with Sableye. Like the dark void in Sierra’s soulless heart, this Darkness Pokemon and her other combatants can only be purged with ideal counters. Sableye isn’t the only Dark- or Poison-type pocket monster the Rocket Leader might whip out; you could also encounter Muk and Houndoom. Other possible opponents include Skarmory, Gardevoir, Gyarados, and Kingdra, all of whom are pretty tough to beat.Â

With the chaotic elemental arrangement of varied pocket monsters above, it isn’t easy to pinpoint three Pokemon that can easily beat Sierra in November 2023. That said, we suggest using:
- Togekiss: Charm and Dazzling Gleam
- Dragonite: Dragon Tail and Outrage
- Magnezone: Spark and Wild Charge
First, you bring out Togekiss to reduce Sableye’s HP with Super Effective attacks. Before Sierra can perform her Pokemon’s Charge Attack, swap to Dragonite and let it finish the job while tanking the rest of the damage. If Sierra does manage to send out a Charged Attack, spend one of your Shields.
Phase 2’s a bit tricky; Dragonite should be able to deal with Muk or Houndoom, but Gardevoir will definitely be a pain, especially if it has Fairy Moves. If Dragonite faints, Magnezone can take its place. Magnezone will be ideal if your opponents are Skarmory and Gyarados, respectively. Conversely, if Kingdra comes out, then whip out Togekiss again to beat Sierra in November 2023 of Pokemon Go.
The only weakness in our recommended strategy would be dealing with Gardevoir. If you’d like to be slightly cautious, you simply use Togekiss until Sableye faints and continue things from there. If Gardevoir does end up appearing, then use Magnezone to tank the damage, as the Magnet Area Pokemon takes less damage from Psychic and Fairy attacks.
