A dubious little Leader getting up to mischief, Arlo the firefighter cosplayer is turning up the heat for March 2024 in Pokemon Go. With Bagon leading his lineup, prepare to face off against the likes of Charizard, Dragonite, or even Bagon’s evolution, Salamence. Hypno and Golurk stand as alternative picks to Charizard, while the deadly Scizor might be your final opponent. This well-varied lineup makes the battle with Arlo a bit challenging this month, but I’ll give you the best recommendations for an easy victory.

Take the following team below to beat Pokemon Go Arlo in March 2024:
- Mamoswine: Powder Snow and Avalanche
- Rampardos: Smack Down and Rock Slide
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang and Overheat
While you might be tempted to take a Fairy-type to deal with Arlo’s Dragon-type picks, I highly recommend you use Mamoswine with an Ice Moveset. It’s capable of fast energy regen and can tank a great deal against Bagon, Dragonite, Golurk, or Salamence. Rampardos can easily deal with Charizard and tank some of the damage you might receive from Scizor. Unfortunately, you’ll just have to deal with Hypno as is since we don’t want to sacrifice our counters for it.
If you face Scizor, Darmanitan will ensure you turn up the heat with Super Effective Fire-type attacks. Flareon or other Fire types will do fine as well.
