Cliff’s Pokemon GO Shadow Pokemon in April 2025 share identical type-weaknesses. You must exploit these common type-weaknesses to select counters that can go against most of Cliff’s Pokemon. The key to defeating Sierra in April 2025 is by strategizing your counters; some of the best counters are Shadow Mewtwo, Shadow Heatran/Groudon, Kyogre/Mega Swampert.
You can use Shadow Mewtwo to go against Skorupi and Nidoqueen. But since Sierra also has Drapion and Ninetales, defeating them requires Pokemon like Mega Swampert/Groudon with powerful Ground-type moves in Pokemon GO.
Use monsters like Shadow Heatran to go against Ferrothorn by exploiting its Fire-type weakness. Taking account of Milotic’s Electric-type weakness, you can use Magnezone. Defeating other Sierra Pokemon requires monsters like Kyogre/Mega Swampert with powerful Water-type moves.
