How Cliff Plays?

Cliff's battles unfold in three phases:
- Phase 1: Always uses Shadow Cubone.
- Phase 2: Randomly uses Shadow Machoke, Shadow Annihilape, or Shadow Marowak.
- Phase 3: Randomly uses Shadow Tyranitar, Shadow Machamp, or Shadow Crobat.
Which Pokémon Are Best to Choose?
Choosing Pokémon to counter Cliff's varied team requires understanding their weaknesses. Here are some top choices:
Shadow Mewtwo

Highly effective against Shadow Machoke, Shadow Annihilape, Shadow Machamp, and Shadow Crobat, making it a strong choice for phases two and three.
Mega Rayquaza

Similar effectiveness to Shadow Mewtwo, offering excellent coverage against many of Cliff's potential Pokémon in the later phases.
Kyogre

Regular Kyogre excels in the first phase. Primal Kyogre is significantly stronger, capable of defeating Shadow Tyranitar, Shadow Marowak, and Shadow Cubone, offering versatility across all phases.
Dawn Wings Necrozma

Effective against Shadow Annihilape and Shadow Machoke, but limited in overall utility.
Mega Swampert

Counters Shadow Marowak and Shadow Cubone, making it suitable for the first phase but less versatile thereafter.
A suggested team composition: Primal Kyogre (Phase 1), Shadow Mewtwo (Phase 2), Mega Rayquaza (Phase 3). Adapt as needed based on your available Pokémon.
How to Find Cliff?
To battle Cliff, you must first defeat six Team GO Rocket Grunts to obtain Rocket Radar components. Crafting and activating the Rocket Radar will reveal a Team GO Rocket leader's location; there's a one-in-three chance it will be Cliff.

Cliff presents a challenging battle due to his powerful Shadow Pokémon. Careful planning and a strong team are crucial for victory. Remember, even without the optimal Pokémon, strategic use of your strongest fighters, considering their type advantages and disadvantages, will increase your chances of success.
