Pokemon GO players are still going up against the nefarious members of the villainous group, Team GO Rocket. Even though the group's boss, Giovanni, still hasn't been found after disappearing under mysterious circumstances in September, the rest of the team's leaders can still be battled.

Sierra is one of the Team GO Rocket leaders Pokemon GO players can find in Rocket Balloons and at occuppied PokeStops. Her team may not have gone under any changes since September, but she is still a difficult fight to get through for most players.

In the fight against Sierra, she will always use the same Pokemon as her first party member, but things will change after it goes down. Her second and third party have three different Pokemon each that can fill the slot during an encounter with her. This makes the fight much more unpredictable.

Sierra's First Pokemon - Sneasel

Starting off the battle, Sierra's first Pokemon will always be Sneasel. This Pokemon is a dual Dark and Ice-type, making it weak to Fighting, Rock, Bug, Steel, Fire, and Fairy-type moves.
