Where To Find Team GO Rocket Leaders: Sierra, Arlo, & Cliff
Unlike regular Team Rocket Grunts, the elite leaders don’t appear randomly. To encounter one, players must first defeat six Team GO Rocket Grunts. Each defeat drops a Mysterious Component, and collecting six allows you to craft a Rocket Radar. Once equipped, this tool enables Team GO Rocket Leaders to spawn at blackened PokeStops and in hot air balloons that follow you for 20 minutes every six hours.
