The antagonists ofPokémon GO, Team GO Rocket, have returned in July 2024 with a particularly tough lineup from the Ke Ke Ke Ke Grunt. That’s because all the other Grunt teams provide a hint about their Pokémon lineup, and once you’ve solved it, you can adequately prepare for the fight. However,the Ke Ke Ke Ke Grunt does not reveal what Pokémon they are using,which can quickly make the fight a disaster if you don’t have the right counters.
There are 21 different Grunt teams inPokémon GO,including the Ke Ke Ke Ke Grunt.
Grunts present a different challenge than Team Go Rocket Leaders. That is, they can use three different Pokémon in each of the three battle stages.

So, as long as you have the right counters for the Ke Ke Ke Ke Grunt, you can easily beat them.
