Last updated
Are you curious about how to face off against one of the biggest baddies in Pokemon GO, Giovanni? Don’t worry, we’re here to explain it all!
So, how do you actually find and battle Giovanni, the notorious leader of Team GO Rocket in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive in and find out.
Finding Giovanni in Pokemon GO
To encounter Giovanni in Pokemon GO, you first need to complete Special Research tasks. These are special missions that get updated regularly. One such task is called ‘The Shadowy Threat Grows.’ Completing this will give you a chance to find Giovanni.
Once you complete the necessary Special Research tasks, you’ll receive what’s known as a Super Rocket Radar. This item won’t just lead you to any Team GO Rocket member but directly to Giovanni himself. But remember, Giovanni can also disguise his hideouts as regular Pokestops or even disguise his grunts as himself to throw you off his trail!
Turning the Encounter Into Victory
When you finally locate Giovanni, be prepared for a tough battle. He usually has powerful Shadow Pokemons that can put up quite the fight. To defeat him, it’s wise to stock up on potions and revives and make sure your Pokemon team is strong and well-balanced. Defeating Giovanni rewards you with a chance to catch a rare Shadow Pokemon!
Always stay on the lookout for updates on Special Research tasks, as Giovanni will periodically return with different Shadow Pokemon. It’s a thrilling challenge that keeps players coming back for more.
