Cliff Counters
Leader“My strength comes from my loyalty to Team GO Rocket.”
Team GO Rocket Leader. Shields the first two charged attacks: modelled as one shield on slot 1 and one on slot 2, as Pokebattler does. One Pokemon is picked at random from each slot; tap one for its own counters and movesets. ★ = can be caught afterwards (Cubone).
Best against the whole line-up
Each slot's leaders re-fought against all three slots on the moveset that won their slot; power is the mean over the slots. Level 45, 15/15/15, no Megas.

Power = share of the Rocket Pokemon's HP you remove per share of your own HP lost (2 = you win with half your HP left; under 1 = you faint first; capped at 10), to three decimals so near-ties show. Wins = share of fights won over every Pokemon and moveset counted. Time = fast-attack time (turns x 0.5 s) and the charged attacks thrown by both sides. Each charged attack also pauses the battle for its minigame, so a counter that needs three charged attacks takes longer in real time than one that wins on fast attacks alone, even when its seconds look similar.
