For a limited period of time, a duo from Team Rocket is up to mischief in Pokémon Go, and most fans of the cuddly pocket monsters will be very familiar with them: Jessie and James. The two fly across the map in a Mauzi Balloon, and whoever catches them gets to battle a total of six Crypto Pokémon that protect the two baddies. We have a quick counter guide for Jessie and James in Pokémon Go.
For a certain time in Pokémon Go, you can find not only Team Rocket’s balloons, the black aircraft with the prominent red R, but also the Mauzi balloon, which, however, shows up noticeably less often. On board the balloon with the Mauzi head are the famous Team Rocket members Jessie and James, who are up to their mischief and send their Crypto Pokémon into battle. The peculiarity of this trainer battle is that you’ll be competing against both villains’ pocket monsters, so you’ll be fighting six mon in total (there’s a bit of a break, though!) – but at least they don’t let you fight any Pokémon that would be evolved or legendary. This means you can handle the fight reasonably well if you use sensible counters. The following Pokémon let Jessie and James fight you:
- Jessie uses Rettan, Sichlor, and Kindwurm.
- James uses Smogon, Sniebel and Tanhel
If you are successful in the battle, there is a certain chance that you will be able to banish Smogon or Rettan to your Pokéball in their iridescent version as well.
You’ll want to use the following counters against Jessie and James:
- Against Jessie’s pocket monster, you can challenge Rihornior with Catapult and Rock Launcher. Use Catapult to use the challenge with Rettan to charge Rock Thrower twice for Sichlor and Kindwurm.
- Against James’ pocket monsters, you can use Lucario with Incremental Strike and Sinister Aura, because neither Smogon, Sniebel, or Tanhel have much to counter it with.
- If you just want to power through the challenge, we recommend at least a Despotar with Catapult and Crusher for Jessie’s Pokémon.
Have fun hunting down Team Rocket’s two celebrities!
Pokémon GO
Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.
Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights
Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.
Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.
Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More
The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
