Pokémon Go: How to Defeat Team Rocket Boss Giovanni

 Pokémon Go recently introduced a new way of battle with Team Rocket “Grunts” and “Leaders.” The leaders of Team Rocket are extremely powerful as compared to grunts. There are a total of three Team Rocket leaders in the game, including “Arlo,” “Cliff,” “Sierra” and a boss “Giovanni.” Now players don’t always have to visit PokéStop to battle with the Team Rocket. Grunts and leaders can now fly using the team rocket balloon. To defeat Cliff, Arlo and Sierra, players have to craft the “Rocket Radar” to locate their hideout or wait for them to arrive.

In order to encounter Giovanni players need to complete a “Special Research” task. When you encounter Giovanni, it’s necessary to have a strong line-up of Pokémon. Giovanni is a Team Rocket boss who is very powerful. It could be your hardest fight in the game when you battle with Giovanni. Similar to Sierra and other leaders, Giovanni also uses a protection shield to avoid heavy damage. You need to remember that Giovanni always begins the battle with Persian. He has three different Pokémon for the second choice, and at last, he uses Suicune. So to defeat him, you need to be fully prepared, and here are the best encounters to defeat Giovanni Pokémon line-up.

Pokémon Go Giovanni Counters

Persian

Persian uses Rock, Dark, Fairy and Normal-type moves and belongs to the Normal-type Pokémon category. So against Persian, Fighting-type Pokémon will perform well. Persian is the weakest Pokémon among all 3 Pokémon of Giovanni.

Dugtrio

Dugtrio can easily wipe one out of three Pokémon. It’s a Ground-type Pokémon, so it’s weak against Water, Grass and Ice-type Pokémon. So you can use these Pokémon to defeat Dugtrio.

Nidoking

Nidoking is Poison/Ground-type Pokémon that’s as powerful as Dugtrio. You can use the same Water and Ice-type Pokémon to win.

Garchomp

Garchomp is a Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon. This Pokémon looks cool and is also quite powerful at the same time. If you use Ice-type Pokémon, you can easily win because it has a double weakness.

Giovanni Suicune Counters

Suicune is a legendary water-type Pokémon that is weak against Grass and Electric-type Pokémon.

So using the right counter Pokémon and attacks, you can give a tough competition to Giovanni. However, you have to use two protected shields with proper strategy. Protected shield plays a major part in a battle. If you use both of your protected shields according to the situation, you can even win any tough match.
