Pokemon GO brings Arlo with a powerful Shadow Pokemon lineup for June 2024. Since Shadow Pokemon have boosted offensive prowess, you must have proper meta-knowledge and counters to defeat them. However, selecting the counters comes after an appropriate study of Arlo’s battle roster.
Before engaging in a battle with Arlo, you must first find the Team GO Rocket leader. Locating the leaders requires a Pokemon GORocket Radar, constructed by collecting 6 Mysterious Components. You can collect the necessary amount by defeating the Team GO Rocket grunts. After locating Arlo, strategically select counters before engaging in a battle with him. This guide explores all of Arlo’s Shadow Pokemon for June 2024 and the best counters against them.
