Rocket bosses are currently in focus in Pokémon GO. A player shows how he wins the battle against Arlo with a single Pokémon.
What kind of battle is this? The Rocket Event is currently running in Pokémon GO. For you, this means that the grunts appear significantly more often with balloons and at stops. This makes it easier to collect the mysterious components to build radars, with which you will eventually encounter the bosses Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff.
On reddit, player g-magoto shows how he defeats Arlo with a special tactic.
A Lucario with 1486 CP against Arlo
This is how the battle goes: We embed the reddit video of the trainer here. In about 2 minutes and 20 seconds, you will see how g-magoto practically wins the battle against Arlo using only one Lucario.
Why does this work? With Lucario, the trainer chose an attacker that has effective abilities against Arlo’s Pokémon. Additionally, the opposing Pokémon do not attack for 1-2 seconds after executing a charge attack. During this time, you can charge your own charge attacks and deal damage.
With Power-Up Punch, the Lucario in the video has an attack that charges very quickly and increases its attack after each use.
Moreover, Lucario is one of the best attackers you can have in the game. More specifically, he is the best fighting attacker in Pokémon GO.
This is his team: In his team, Lucario with 1486 CP, Toxiped with 10 CP, and Keifel with 10 CP are fighting. The two low-level Pokémon are there just to buy time and absorb opposing attacks.

In the coming days, a lot is on the agenda in the game. The big Kanto Tour is ahead and brings 150 Shinies with it. Plus a Community Day with Roselia and many other events.
To keep you informed, we show you here all events in February 2020 in Pokémon GO.
