Who to beat Team GO Rocket Grunts in Pokemon GO
The agents of Team Rocket for battle will select one random Pokémon from each column of the table, which is spelled out for all possible encounters separately.
Before the start of the battle, the Agent will first say various phrases and taunt. And here is the text of the taunt will help you find out which three Pokémon can withstand the trainer in battle.
After winning, you can catch the first or second Pokémon used by the criminals.
Keep in mind that each Pokémon that is knocked out on a strike team reduces the amount of Premier Balls rewarded to fight Shadow Pokémon. Therefore, it is possible to switch Pokémon with low HP as long as they don't pass out. After each battle, Pokémon need to be healed and restored with consumables. If the battle is lost, then a rematch can be held, and the infantryman will again have the same set of Pokémon.
As soon as the battle begins, you can leave the PokéStop, and the battle will continue on.
Let's now take a look at every motto and every line of the Agents of Team R before the battle.
