How to Beat Giovanni (October 2022)

Though Giovanni’s October 2022 lineup isn’t as diverse as the other Team Rocket leaders, he’s still a formidable threat in Pokémon GO.

While Pokemon GO‘s Team GO Rocket Leaders are undoubtedly formidable opponents for the October 2022 fight, none of the three come close to the challenging mastermind himself – Giovanni. As overseer of Team GO Rocket and boss of Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra, Giovanni is an adversary few Trainers can face unprepared. Accordingly, before attempting to take on the Team Rocket boss Pokemon GOplayers must strategically plan which pocket monsters can counter his lineup.

The confrontation with Giovanni in October 2022 is the same as any other month Pokemon GO. However, Trainers must first acquire the ultra-rare Super Rocket Radar, a device that can only be unlocked by completing Special Research campaigns related to Team GO Rocket. In these special research tasks, players typically hunt down all three leaders of Team GO Rocket. Once this difficult goal is achieved, Trainers will receive a Super Rocket Radar for their efforts. When the device is equipped, Giovanni will likely appear at PokéStops or in a balloon above players’ avatars.

Corresponding DexertoGiovanni will always start every fight in October 2022 with Persian as his first choice, and the boss fight will always end with his Shadow Latios Pokemon GO. Therefore, sending fighters who can counter these two enemy Pokemon is essential for victory. Giovanni’s second monster will be one of the following: Machamp, Nidoking, or Rhyperior. Keep in mind that all of the pocket monsters in his lineup are Shadow variants, which are significantly stronger than their standard versions.
