Many members of Team GO Rocket have changed their parties for the month of August in Pokemon GO. Because of this, players may need to update their own parties when going up against Team GO Rocket’s admins.

One admin with an updated party in Pokemon GO is Sierra. While she has kept some of her previous team, players should prepare for the minor changes as well.

By defeating Sierra, players will get the opportunity to attempt to catch a shadow Lapras. This Lapras additionally has the chance to be shiny, so defeating Sierra is highly recommended.

Sierra’s first Pokemon will always be Lapras, but her second and third Pokemon will be different during every encounter. However, fighting Sierra multiple times within the same encounter won’t cause her team to change, so players will be able to plan better if they lose and attempt to beat her in a rematch.

Sierra’s possible second Pokemon are:

• Exeggutor
• Lapras
• Sharpedo

Sierra’s possible third and final Pokemon are:

• Shiftry
• Houndoom
• Alakazam
