Below we tell you everything about how to find Giovanni in Pokémon GO and defeat him to get great rewards. And it is that he Team Rocket leader is now available in the popular mobile game of Niantic so that we can measure our strength with him through our best equipment Pokémon creatures. For this reason, and thanks to our guide, you will know how to find Giovanni in Pokémon GO, the best techniques to defeat him and the rewards for doing it.
How to find Giovanni in Pokémon GO
The first step to find Giovanni in Pokémon GO is to get the Rocket Radar, a special object that will allow us to find all the Team Rocket members in the invaded pokéstops. To get the Radar Rocket we will have to defeat Team GO Rocket recruits to get mysterious components; once we get 6 we can create the Radar Rocket.
Once we have the Radar Rocket in our possession, we can find all the leaders randomly at Pokéstops; With Radar Rocket activated, their locations will appear on our map randomly. To the defeat Arlo, Soerra and Cliff We will obtain 1250 experience points, 200 stardust, a Super Radar Rocket and 3 Frambu Berries.
When we have defeated all the leaders we can access the fight against Giovanni; Of course, Giovanni will use decoys to hide and prevent us from finding him. The confrontations with Giovanni are limited to certain times and places. Once we locate the real Giovanni we will have to face his Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, powerful legendary Pokémon in their dark form that we can get by defeating them.
First round against Giovanni
- Defeat Persian | We recommend a team with Machamp, Hatiyama and Lucario, three fighting Pokémon with high attack stats; It won't be very difficult to take down Persian, so we recommend saving the charged attack for later.
Second round with Giovanni
- Defeat Cloyster | One of Giovanni's options for the second confrontation. We recommend a Machamp with Counterattack and Dynamic Punch; another alternative in Breloom with Counterattack and Lasso Grass.
- Defeat Kangaskhan | Another of Giovanni's options for the second confrontation. Again, both Machamp and Breloom with the same attacks above work quite well in this case.
- Defeat Garchomp | Third option of Giovanni, a very powerful Pokémon with almost legendary stats. We recommend Pokémon like Glaceon or Weavile thanks to their Ice Beam or Avalanche attacks. Mamoswine is another interesting option, despite being a rare creature.
Third round against Giovanni
- Defeat Articuno | For the third and final confrontation against Giovanni we recommend Pokémon like Tyranitar and its Sharp Rock and Anti-Aircraft, Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Punch, Raikou with Thunder Shock and Cruel Volt or Moltres with Suffocation and Fire Spin, all of them highly recommended to defeat Articuno.
- Defeat Zapdos | It is an Electric/Flying type Pokémon, so we recommend Pokémon like Glaceon, Weavile or Mamoswine with their Avalanche, Frozen Song, Dust Snow and Frozen Mist attacks.
- Defeat Moltres | To defeat the legendary Kanto Pokémon, we recommend a Tyranitar with Sharp Rock or an Aerodactyl or a Rampardos with Avalanche, very effective attacks against this type of Pokémon.
By defeating Giovanni we will obtain special rewards such as 5000 stardust, 4 maximum potions, 4 revives and the possibility of capturing Articuno; Of course, once captured, we will first have to purify it to be able to use it.
