Pokemon GO: How to Beat Giovanni (July 2022)

Longtime fans of the Pokemon series will clearly recognize Team Rocket leader Giovanni and his nefarious organization for being a constant thorn in the side of players and other protagonists. No matter the medium, such as the TV show, books, and video games, Team Rocket continues to get in players way in order to capture or steal rare and powerful Pokemon. Its secretive leader Giovanni, typically seen with his Persian, has been included as a boss character in numerous games in the franchise, including the hit mobile game, Pokemon GO.

To that end, the popular mobile title has its own branch of the enemy faction known as Team GO Rocket who appear randomly at PokeStops as well as flying in hot air balloons. While the grunts may not be much of a challenge, creating a Rocket Radar gives players the opportunity to go up against stronger opponents in the form of leaders Cliff, Arlo, and Sierra. For a limited time during specific events, players can also equip a Super Rocket Radar and face off against Giovanni himself.

Following his arrival last May, Giovanni is once again invading Pokemon GO starting on July 9 as part of Niantic's six-year Anniversary event. A new special research questline will be available through September, giving players a chance to earn a Super Rocket Radar to face off against Giovanni and his strong team of Pokemon. Here is what players should expect as well as which Pokemon to bring to score a victory.

As expected, Giovanni leads off the battle with his signature Pokemon, Persian. Persian is a normal type Pokemon, which typically means no strengths or weaknesses, but inside of Pokemon GO, Persian goes down especially quick to Fighting type Pokemon. Players should be prepared
