How Cliff Plays?

Cliff's battles are divided into three phases:

• Phase 1: Always uses Shadow Cubone.
• Phase 2: Uses one of three Pokémon: Shadow Machoke, Shadow Annihilape, or Shadow Marowak.
• Phase 3: Uses one of three Pokémon: Shadow Tyranitar, Shadow Machamp, or Shadow Crobat.

This unpredictable nature makes choosing the perfect team crucial.

Which Pokémon Are Best to Choose?

To counter Cliff's diverse team, consider these Pokémon:

Shadow Mewtwo

Highly effective against Shadow Machoke, Shadow Annihilape, Shadow Machamp, and Shadow Crobat. A strong choice for phases 2 and 3.

Mega Rayquaza

Similar effectiveness to Shadow Mewtwo, making it an excellent choice for phases 2 and 3. Using this and Shadow Mewtwo strategically across these phases maximizes your chances of success.

Kyogre

Standard Kyogre excels in phase 1. Primal Kyogre is significantly stronger, capable of defeating Shadow Tyranitar, Shadow Marowak, and Shadow Cubone, making it a versatile option for any phase.

Dawn Wings Necrozma

Effective against Shadow Annihilape and Shadow Machoke, but limited in its overall utility.

Mega Swampert

Effective against Shadow Marowak and Shadow Cubone, primarily useful in phase 1. Consider switching it out for a more versatile Pokémon in later phases.

A suggested team composition: Primal Kyogre (Phase 1), Shadow Mewtwo (Phase 2), Mega Rayquaza (Phase 3). Adjust based on your available Pokémon.

How to Find Cliff?

To battle Cliff, you must first defeat six Team GO Rocket Grunts to obtain Rocket Radar components. Crafting and activating the Rocket Radar will reveal a Team GO Rocket Leader's location; there's a one-third chance it will be Cliff.

Cliff's Pokémon are stronger than Grunts, requiring careful planning and strong Pokémon. Remember, the Rocket Radar is destroyed after a successful battle. Prepare for a challenging fight, but with the right strategy and Pokémon, victory is within reach.
