Sometimes it seems like there are no Rocket hideouts at all and sometimes you get to see 2 of them on the radar. It happened to me a few days ago and I went to fight one then which was Arlo again like the first one that I did. Now it happened again, this time they were even super close together to each other. There are 2 Pokéstops and a Gym at this spot where the hideouts were and both Pokéstops had a hideout.
The friends I was walking around with had already been there earlier and told me about it. I was asking if it were Cliff and Sierra or if one of them was Arlo. One friend he didn't know their names so he was just trying to explain the look of the one he fought first. Then the other one picked up on our conversation about them, he was busy with something else earlier, and then he confirmed they are Sierra and Cliff. Which was super great to me as I just assembled my 3rd Rocket Radar earlier in the day, and the previous 2 I used were both to fight Arlo.
We waited for a nearby 4* Raid to hatch first to see what it was and possibly do that Raid prior to heading there for the Rocket hideouts. It was a Tyranitar so we definitely did that one. Unfortunately it was really bad IV wise. Then we went to the market square so I could also fight one of these two Rocket Leaders.
Here is a picture when Cliff is showing up and then I walked to the other Pokéstop to get a picture of Sierra showing up as well.
I decided that I would fight Cliff this time. As he had a Meowth, Snorlax and Tyranitar one of my friends said, and I wanted to challenge myself to that.
It took me several tries as that Tyranitar just tore through my Metagross' health like it was nothing, not even allowing my Metagross to use a single Charged Attack. I figured it could be a move that would then be not very effective against my Gyarados, but I was mistaken and my Gyarados went down super fast too. Then in the 3rd try I did manage to take him down.
That friend also told me that Sierra had a Sneasel. Cause he fought against both of them, I think he said he ended up leaving Cliff alone after losing and fighting Sierra instead. So in a way I think I should have chosen to fight Sierra, because the chance for another good IV Sneasel is always welcome, and it isn't certain that the next time I have a Rocket Radar I'll be able to find Sierra. If 2 hideouts show up again it could be Arlo and Cliff. That's what I'll have to find out then!
I also learned that I should've completed the current step for the Looming in the Shadows Special Research quest prior to this. Because while I was fighting Cliff a friend was finishing up that step, and in the next step you have to defeat all 3 Rocket Leaders. So I could've had Cliff beaten already for that quest if I had completed the step prior to fighting him. Oh well, at least I'm not in a hurry to complete the quest! Though I've heard about Giovanni fights, and I suppose we need to advance in the quest in order to be able to fight him. So I do want to get to that.
Which Team GO Rocket Leader bosses have you fought so far?
