    Discover ARLOs Pokemon GO Adventure Awaits!

    Arlo is one of the three Team GO Rocket Leaders in Pokémon GO. Known as "The Vengeful Aristocrat," he specializes in Steel-type Pokémon but uses a diverse lineup that changes periodically. Below is an overview of Arlo's background, how to find him, and strategies for defeating him.

    Background

    • Arlo was previously a member of Team Valor and a close friend of Candela, the team's leader. After losing the leadership position to her, he left and joined Team GO Rocket. His ambition and manipulative nature have made him a key figure in the Shadow Pokémon program.
    • He is known for his sly and calculating personality, often taunting opponents like Candela with cryptic messages.

    How to Find Arlo

    1. Defeat six Team GO Rocket Grunts to collect Mysterious Components.
    2. Assemble these into a Rocket Radar to locate Arlo or other Team GO Rocket Leaders.
    3. Use the Rocket Radar to track his location, which can appear at PokéStops or in Team GO Rocket balloons.

    Battle Strategy

    Arlo's team changes over time, but here are general tips based on his recent lineups:

    Current Pokémon Lineup (Example from October 2024)

    1. First Pokémon: Shadow Anorith
      • Counters: Kyogre, Dialga, Lucario, Metagross, Tyranitar.
    2. Second Pokémon (one of three possibilities):
      • Shadow Gyarados: Use Electric-types like Zekrom or Zapdos.
      • Shadow Crobat: Use Electric or Rock-types like Rampardos.
      • Shadow Steelix: Use Fire or Fighting-types like Blaziken or Machamp.
    3. Third Pokémon (one of three possibilities):
      • Shadow Scizor: Use Fire-types like Charizard or Heatran.
      • Shadow Gardevoir: Use Steel-types like Metagross.
      • Shadow Snorlax: Use Fighting-types like Lucario or Conkeldurr.

    General Tips

    • Arlo blocks your first two Charged Attacks with Protect Shields, so use quick-charging moves to remove them early.
    • Build a balanced team with counters for Steel, Rock, and Flying types.
    • Fire-types are particularly effective against many of Arlo's Steel Pokémon.

    Defeating Arlo rewards players with items like Unova Stones and an opportunity to catch one of his Shadow Pokémon.
