Once again, the Pokemon Lineup of Team Rocket Grunts has been changed. For December month, Niantic has made several changes in the game, and changing Grunt’s Pokemon lineup is one of them. It will set a new level of challenge for the players and will force them to use Pokemon. Just like always, Grunts will appear through Team Rocket Balloons and Pokestops.
Before starting the battle against Grunts, players should know their Pokemon lineup to choose the right counters. Unlike before, now Grunts will use higher CP of Pokemon with powerful moves. Players will have to face a tough opponent this time, and if not aware of their lineup, it might take multiple attempts to win.
However, after knowing Grunt’s Pokemon lineup, it will be easy for players to compete against them. So here is the Pokemon lineup of Grunts.
