After taking down a bulk of Team Go Rocket, you’ll need to face off against Giovanni. Our Pokémon Go guide lists his counters and party for this month.
Giovanni’s team had a refresh in Pokémon Go following the arrival of the From the Shadows quest.
As of 22 March 2023, his team sees several new possibilities, including a finale against Regice, the latest legendary to see the Shadow treatment.
However, know that whenever you face Giovanni, he’s a tough opponent to battle, and this page will list out his current team and counters if you’re having trouble. How to find Giovanni in Pokémon Go
Team Go Rocket boss Giovanni is typically only available to battle while completing Team Go Rocket Special Research. We get a new set of this type of research every few months, typically with a new Shadow legendary Pokémon as a reward at the very end.
From late March 2023, this quest is From the Shadows.
As part of the quest, after beating all three Team Go Rocket leaders, you’ll get a Super Rocket Radar, allowing you to hunt down Giovanni.
Just like the leaders, Giovanni will appear in Team Go Rocket balloons or at taken over PokéStops if you have the Super Rocket Radar. Once you find him and use the radar, you can battle him as many times as it takes to beat him (as long as you’re within distance of the PokéStop), which is great, because he is typically a pretty tough battle.
