The month of July is looking extremely rich forPokemon GOtrainers. In addition toPokemon GOFest 2021, players can also look forward toPokemon GO’s 5 Year Anniversary event. The vast amount of Pokemon available is extremely convenient, as they offer a variety of ways for players to counter the ever-persistent Team GO Rocket.
Thankfully, not much has changed in terms of Sierra’s line-up.Pokemon GOtrainerscan expect Sierra to stick to the same Pokemon as last month. Respectively, Sierra starts off withSneaselas her first-round pick. Round 2 choices are betweenAmpharos, Granbull, or Gliscor, and Round 3 choices are betweenHoundoom, Kingdra, or Drapion.

Round 1 - Sneasel
Sierra will always start off withSneasel, the dual Dark and Ice-type Pokemon. Fighting-type moves work the best here, although Sneasel is also weak to Fairy, Steel, Fire, and Rock-type moves. Conversely,Pokemon GOtrainers should avoid Pokemon with Ghost, Psychic, Dark, or Ice-type moves, as it resists those. Some good counters include:
Round 2 - Ampharos, Granbull, or Gliscor
Of course, Sierra always has a few tricks up her sleeve. She could start Round 2 with the pure Electric-type Pokemon,Ampharos. Its main weakness isGround-type moves, and it resists damage from Flying, Steel, and of course, Electric-type moves. The counters here are pretty straightforward, and some include:
Sierra’sGranbullis nothing to sneeze at either. The pureFairy-typePokemon is weak only to Steel and Poison-type moves but resists damage from Bug, Fighting, Dragon, and Dark-type moves. With the right counters, this is a breeze. Some include:
Sierra could decide on using the dual Ground andFlying-typePokemon,Gliscor. It’s weak only to Ice and Water-type moves and resists damage from Bug, Fight, Ground, Poison, and Electric-type moves. Ice reigns supreme in this case, thoughPokemon GOtrainers have a lot of counters to pick from:
Round 3 - Houndoom, Kingdra, or Drapion
Sierra could easily turn up the heat by choosingHoundoomas her Round 3 pick. The dual Dark and Fire-type Pokemon is guaranteed to givePokemon GOtrainers trouble if it shows up. It’s weak to Ground, Rock, Fighting, andWater-type moves, but resists Ghost, Ice, Fire, Grass, Steel, Dark, and Psychic-type moves. Some good counters for Houndoom include:
On the other hand, Sierra could skip the fire and use its opposite in the dual Water and Dragon-type PokemonKingdra. This Pokemon is weak to Dragon and Fairy-type moves and resists damage from Water, Fire, and Steel-type moves.Dragon-typesdo well against Kingdra, though Fairy-types are the most effective:
If Sierra confides in Drapion, it’d be her most daunting yet. The dual Poison and Dark-type Pokemon is weak only to Ground-type moves and resists damage from Grass, Poison, Ghost, Dark, andPsychic-type moves. Most of the counters for Ampharos work extremely well here:
