One nice bonus this time around is that the lineups are a bit more predictable. Usually there’s a larger pool of Pokemon that Cliff (or the other bosses) can throw out during a fight, but during this event the lineup is staying the same for everyone. Keep in mind that players will want to use some Stardust and Candy to power up their counters andburn some TMs to equip them with the perfect movesetto make the fight go as smoothly as possible.
Articuno
Pinsir Counters
Pinsir is a Bug-type, which means players are going to want to bring in Fire-, Flying-, or Rock-types to exploit its weakness.
Chandelure - Fire Spin/Overheat
Tyranitar Counters
Anyone with experience in PvP or PvE knows that Ttar is a beast. This Dark-type Pokemon can be brutal, so be sure to take advantage of its weakness by putting in your best Fighting-type Pokemon.
Conkeldurr - Counter/Dynamic Punch
Articuno Counters
Here is the tough one. This time around Cliff has access to the Legendary Ice-, Flying-type bird Articuno. This Gen 1 Legendary is a very tough opponent, so players will want to exploit its weakness to Rock-type moves. Be careful to avoid Ground-type Pokemon for this fight, because they will basically be killed in one-shot.
Melmetal - Thunder Shock/Rock Slide
Aggron - Smack Down/Stone Edge
