A mischievous figure causing trouble, Arlo the firefighter cosplayer, is bringing the heat to Pokemon Go this February 2024. With Bagon as his lead, get ready to confront opponents like Charizard, Dragonite, or even Bagon’s evolution, Salamence. Hypno and Golurk offer alternative challenges to Charizard, while the formidable Scizor may be your final adversary. This diverse lineup makes battling Arlo a tad tricky this month, but fear not, as I’ll provide you with the top recommendations for a smooth victory.
Best Counters for Arlo in February 2024
| Pokemon | Weaknesses | Best Counters & Movesets for Arlo in January 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Bagon | Ice | Dragon |
| Charizard | Rock (2.65× DMG) | Water |
| Hypno | Ghost | Dark |
| Golurk | Ghost | Water |
| Scizor | Fire | Darmanitan – Fast Move: Fire Fang |
| Dragonite | Ice (2.65× DMG) | Rock |
| Salamence | Ice (2.65× DMG) | Rock |
Bring the following team to defeat Pokemon Go’s Arlo in February 2024:
- Mamoswine: Powder Snow and Avalanche
- Rampardos: Smack Down and Rock Slide
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang and Overheat
While opting for a Fairy-type to counter Arlo’s Dragon-type selections might seem tempting, I highly recommend using Mamoswine with an Ice Moveset instead. It boasts rapid energy regeneration and can withstand considerable damage from Bagon, Dragonite, Golurk, or Salamence. Rampardos can effectively handle Charizard and absorb some damage from Scizor. Unfortunately, dealing with Hypno remains a necessity as we don’t want to compromise our counters for it.
In case you encounter Scizor, Darmanitan ensures you unleash the heat with Super Effective Fire-type attacks. Flareon or other Fire types will suffice as well.
