Giovanni has returned to Pokémon Go; for July 2022, he’s captured shadow Latios. You’ll have to battle against him to catch this Pokémon and add it to your collection. Giovanni will be available for the Battle Weekend event alongside the Pokémon Go Anniversary event, which will happen towards the end of this larger event. This guide covers Giovanni’s weaknesses and the best Pokémon counters in Pokémon Go for July 2022.

The only way to find Giovanni is to work through the Battle Weekend event that will start on July 9 at 12 AM in your local area. This event will be available to all players. You’ll receive the first task for a Special Research, and you’ll need to follow all the steps to unlock the Super Rocket Radar, which reveals Giovanni’s location.

Giovanni is a tough fight, far more difficult than the other Team Rocket leaders. Giovanni’s first Pokémon remains the same every month. However, his second and third options consistently change.

The first Pokémon Giovanni always uses Persian, a Normal-type Pokémon. The best Pokémon to use against it are durable Fighting-types, such as Conkeldurr, Heracross, Gallade, Machamp, or Scrafty.

When fighting Giovanni, the second Pokémon you’ll battle against is a Honchkrow, a Dark and Flying-type Pokémon. Honchkrow is weak against Electric, Fairy, Ice, and Rock-type Pokémon. Therefore, we recommend leaning on Honchkrow’s Electric, Fairy, or Rock-type weakness to do the most damage.

Giovanni will be using a shadow Latias as the final option for his roster. Latias is a Dragon and Psychic-type Pokémon. It will be weak against Bug, Dark, Dragon,
