Sierra was the second Team GO Rocket Leader encountered by one of [[Professor Willow]]'s assistants. {{OBP|Spark|GO}}, while rescuing {{pkmn|Egg}}s from potential [[PokéStop]] invasions, ran into Sierra during his mission. Sierra mocked Spark's efforts in rescuing the Eggs, which prompted him to challenge her to battle. However, Sierra noticed that an unprepared Spark had not brought any [[Poké Ball]]s, and dismissed his challenge as she walked away.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/willowreport-loomingshadow/ Willow Report Subject: A shadowy sierra]</ref>

*{{p|Houndoom}} has always been one of Sierra's usable Pokémon.
** On October 26, 2023, {{p|Kingdra}} replaced Houndoom in Sierra's lineup. However, this was a possible error, as Houndoom was added back in unannounced on November 14, 2023.
