Pokemon GO Arlo Counters [May 2022]

Finding the best Pokemon GO Arlo counters isn't easy, especially when they change so frequently. The GO Rocket Leader still has the same Pokemon for May in Pokemon GO that he did in April. This means that, if you defeated the red-headed Team GO Rocket leader last month, your existing party of Pokemon might perform just as well this time. Either way — if you plan to take Arlo down, you're going to need to know exactly what Arlo's weaknesses are. These are the best Pokemon GO Arlo counters in May 2022.

If you're yet to take down the other Team GO Rocket leaders, take a look at these guides:

• Pokemon GO Cliff counters
• Pokemon GO Sierra counters
• Pokemon GO Giovanni counters

• Scizor (Fury Cutter | X-Scissor)
• Reshiram (Fire Fang | Overheat)
• Unovan Darmanitan (Fire Fang | Overheat)
• Blaziken (Counter | Blast Burn)

There are of course three choices for Arlo’s second and third Pokemon, making him tougher to predict. Here are the best counters to his choices for his second Pokemon:
