December is here and those troublesome Team GO Rocket grunts are back to cause more chaos inPokemon GO. As players set out into the world to battle againstthe forces of Team GO Rocketat select Pokestops or by finding their hot air balloons, they’ll want to make sure they know what each different fight is going to bring.
Although most Team GO Rocket grunts are easy enough to take down with the right counters, some of the hints about which types players will be facing off against can be a little cryptic. That means thatPokemon GOtrainers should take a little time before each battle to double check the grunt hint text against this list to see what Pokemon they will be facing off against as they work their way towards encounters with theTeam Rocket leaders.
