Pokémon Go is a 2016 augmented reality mobile game, part of the Pokémon franchise, developed and published by Niantic in collaboration with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for iOS and Android devices. It uses mobile devices with GPS to locate, capture, train, and battle virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player's real-world location. The game is free-to-play; it uses a freemium business model combined with local advertising and supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items. The game launched with around 150 species of Pokémon, which had increased to around 700 by 2021. Giovanni is the leader of Team GO Rocket. Unsurprisingly for such an evil character, he has his own menagerie of Pokemon which he’ll use in battle. These Pokemon change from time to time, so you’re never exactly sure who you’re going to go up against. What makes it even more complicated is the fact that this fight is made up of three rounds, with there being three Pokemon that you can battle in round two. All of this means that you have to be prepared for almost anything when going up against him. Or, you can simply read our How to Beat Giovanni May 2022 Pokemon GO guide.
