This article will show you how to recognize these Pokemon, what you will earn when you defeat them and how you can counter them

When you enter the Pokéstop, you will get the warning “Coiled and ready to Strike”. This means that you will be facing Poison Type Pokemon. The best way to defeat a Poison Type Shadow Pokemon is to use a Ground or Psychic Pokemon.

  • You will be able to capture the Shadow Pokemon used by the Team Rocket Go Grunts and Purify it for your own purposes.
  • You will also get 500 Stardust.

Counter Pokemon for Coiled and Ready to Strike attacks, amongst other team Rocket Go Grunt attacks

The Grunts that use Coiled and ready to Strike attacks will bring along the Zubat and Grimer Family. Most of the time, you will fight Grimer, Golbat, and Zubat.

In order to beat these three, you should use Raikou for Zubat or Golbat, then switch to Crobat and Tyranitar for Bulbasaur or IvySaur, but not against Muk. If you want to defeat Muk, you should use a Smack Down Tyranitar with a charge move. You may also use Groudon in this particular case.
