How to beat Giovanni in Pokemon GO (March 2023)

Giovanni, the treacherous boss of Team GO Rocket, is one of the perennial villains players can encounter in Pokemon GO.

He is a well-known face among the Pokemon faithful, having appeared in multiple story arcs along with his trusted Persian.

Encountering Giovanni in Niantic's popular AR title for trainers, Pokemon GO, is not an easy task. Trainers must first defeat enough Team GO Rocket Grunts to encounter the three Team GO Rocket Leaders.

After doing so, they can obtain the Super Rocket Radar, which will lead them to Giovanni's location.

Giovanni’s first choice will always be his pet Persian. The Classy Cat Pokemon is a Normal-type pocket monster from Generation I that evolves from Meowth. It is vulnerable to Fighting-type moves.

The second choice for Giovanni for March 2023 consists of three possible pocket monsters - Nidoking, Cloyster, and Garchomp.

A dual-type Poison- and Ground-type pocket monster from Generation I, Nidoking evolves from Nidorino. Given its typing, trainers should consider using Psychic- and Ice-type moves.

Introduced in Generation I, Cloyster is a dual-type pocket monster sporting Water- and Ice-type that evolves from Shellder. It is weak against Grass-, Thunder- and Fighting-type moves.
