Pinsir counters

First up is Pinsir, which is solely a Bug-type Pokemon. This means it's weak to Fire-, Flying-, and Rock- type moves, but it can still deal some serious damage with its Fighting-type moves, so the following counters are the best choices.

Pokemon Moveset
Moltres Fire Spin/Overheat
Blaziken Fire Spin/Blaze Kick
Chandelure Fire Spin/Overheat
Volcarona Fire Spin/Overheat

Tyranitar counters

Tyranitar is infamously one of the strongest Pokemon in Pokemon Go PvP, and for good reason. It uses Dark- and Steel-type quick moves, with Fire-, Rock-, and Dark-type charge moves. Thankfully, it has a double weakness to Fighting-type moves, which makes Pokemon like Lucario and Machamp excellent choices.

Pokemon Counter
Lucario Counter/Power-Up Punch
Machamp Counter/Cross Chop
Conkeldurr Counter/Dynamic Punch
Virizion Quick Attack/Close Combat

Articuno counters

Cliff has the legendary ice bird Articuno in his possession, so it's a tough fight. It's double weak to Rock-type moves though, along with having a standard weakness to Electric-, Fire-, and Steel- types. Don't use Ground-type Pokemon under any circumstance because it has a double resistance, while Grass- and Bug- types also won't fare well.

Pokemon Moveset
Heatran Fire Spin/Stone Edge
Tyranitar Smack Down/Stone Edge
Melmetal Thunder Shock/Rock Slide
Aggron Smack Down/Stone Edge

Beldum counters

Beldum may look easy to defeat, but don't be fooled. This dual Steel-/Psychic-type is weak to Fire-, Dark-, Ground-, and Ghost-type moves, but resistant to a staggering amount of other types. As a result, you absolutely need one of the following to dispatch of Beldum effectively.

Pokemon Moveset
Giratina Shadow Claw/Shadow Sneak
Gengar Shadow Claw/Shadow Punch
Drifblim Hex/Shadow Ball
Groudon Mud Shot/Fire Punch

Houndoom counters

Opting for Groudon against Beldum is a great shout because when it survives, it's also useful against Houndoom. Otherwise you'll want to be using Fighting-, Ground-, Rock-, and Water-type Pokemon, and avoiding pretty much everything else because Houndoom also has a lot of resistances.

Pokemon Moveset
Swampert Mud Shot/Hydro Cannon
Poliwrath Bubble/Dynamic Punch
Hariyama Counter/Superpower
Haxorus Counter/Surf

Zapdos counters

Finally, Sierra has Zapdos. This Electric/Flying-type legendary is weak to only Ice- and Rock-type moves, but resistant to a lot of other types. Hopefully you'll be entering this fight with your second Pokemon still up to give you the best chance.

Pokemon Moveset
Mamoswine Powder Snow/Avalanche
Rhyperior Smack Down/Rock Wrecker
Golem Rock Throw/Stone Edge
Hippowdon Ice Fang/Stone Edge

How to beat Arlo in Pokemon Go

Mawile counters

What's this? Another Pokemon with a long list of resistances? Yeah, you're going to want to use Fire- or Ground-type moves with Mawile, because the Steel-/Fairy-type is resistant to most other types.

Pokemon Moveset
Magmortar Fire Spin/Fire Punch
Entei Fire Spin/Overheat
Heatran Fire Spin/Stone Edge
Chandelure Hex/Overheat

Scizor counters

Scizor is a Bug-/Steel-type, so Pokemon veterans will know there's only one type for the job; Fire. Fire-type moves deal double damage, so you just want to throw out the strongest Fire-type Pokemon you have, as long as both the fast and charged move are Fire-type.

Pokemon Moveset
Blaziken Fire Spin/Blaze Kick
Reshiram Fire Fang/Overheat
Moltres Fire Spin/Overheat
Infernape Fire Spin/Blast Burn

Moltres counters

Then there's Moltres, the Fire-/Flying-type legendary bird from the first generation. While Moltres is weak to Electric- and Water-type Pokemon, you'll want to use Rock-type moves because they deal double damage.

Pokemon Moveset
Rhyperior Smack Down/Stone Edge
Golem Rock Throw/Rock Blast
Omastar Rock Throw/Rock Slide
Regirock Rock Throw/Stone Edge
