Pokemon Go ‘You’re no match for my iron will’ Rocket Grunt lineup & counters

A new Team Go Rocket Grunt has appeared in Pokemon Go using the taunt, ‘You’re no match for my iron will!’ Here are all of the lineups they can use and the best counters to defeat them.

Grunts are the lowest-ranking members of the villainous Team Go Rocket, but it’s still important to know their lineups and type specialty so you can put together a team that will be able to easily defeat them.

The latest addition to the Team Go Rocket Grunt squad is a Steel-type Grunt that will use the taunt, ‘You’re no match for my iron will!’ when they ambush you after spinning a PokeStop in the game.

To help you defeat this Grunt, we’ve put together details of their potential lineups below, alongside recommendations for the best counters you can use.

This Grunt will only use Steel-type Pokemon, with the following potential encounters:

Phase 1	Phase 2	Phase 3
Alolan Diglett	Alolan Sandshrew	Aggron
Alolan Sandshrew	Lairon	Scizor
Aron	Metang	–

Some of these Pokemon are dual types, such as the Ice/Steel-type Alolan Sandshrew, which means you’ll need to pay attention to both types when figuring out how to take them down.

We’ve put together a list of some of the best counters for this Grunt’s Pokemon below.
