Giovanni is the boss of Team Rocket within the Pokemon universe, and he has a pretty long list of crimes within the Pokemon Anime. He has a large number of Team Rocket Grunts and Leaders (Cliff, Arlo, and Sierra) at his disposal in Pokemon GO, which makes him even more challenging than normal.
While Giovanni is known to be a pretty tough boss battle in the Pokemon games, he is probably the toughest battle in Pokemon GO. At the time of writing this, Giovanni has a different lineup of Pokemon each month, making it tough to decide what Pokemon to use each time players encounter him. Here's how to find him in the game.

Pokemon GO has seven different evolutionary items (eight if players count Gimmighoul Coins). Here's a breakdown of them all.
Who Is Giovanni In Pokemon GO?
Giovanni is one of the most well-known of all the villains in the Pokemon universe, and this is largely due to the fact that Team Rocket was the original evil team. Considering he is their head boss, it comes as no surprise that a lot of fans can tell people who he is, even those who have never played the earlier games. However, there is still a lot of information about him that players might not have known. As the main Team Rocket Leader, he is much more difficult to find than the many Team Rocket Grunts (and even the lower-level leaders). Here's how to find him.

How To Find Giovanni In Pokemon GO
Back in late 2019, Pokemon GO began teasing the idea of allowing players to use different radars to find Team Rocket Leaders. Now that these are a staple in the game, players are able to use those to make hunting the bad guys all the more easier. Thankfully, Giovanni is just as easy to find (given players have the correct items). Players will need to fight all 3 Team Rocket Leaders in a given month to find the boss. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to find him:
- Fight and win against 6 Team Rocket Grunts to obtain 6 Mysterious Components.
- Combine the Mysterious Components into a Rocket Radar and equip it.
- Fight the Team Rocket Leader that appears and win.
- Compete steps 1-3 until facing all Team Rocket Leaders (Cliff, Arlo, & Sierra).
- Upon defeating all three Team Rocket Leaders, the game will give players a "Super Rocket Radar."
-
Equip the Super Rocket Radar and find where Giovanni is hiding.
- There is a chance to find a Team Rocket Grunt disguised as Giovanni (this will not use up the radar)
Players cannot battle Giovanni without the Super Rocket Radar (unless there is an event happening), so do not try to do it without that.
