'Pokémon GO': Giovanni Guide – Best Counters

Here are the best counter Pokémon to take down Team Rocket's Giovanni in Pokémon GO.

Giovanni has returned to Pokémon GO with Shadow Lugia in his grasp. This guide will show you how to find Team Rocket’s boss and how to counter his Pokémon in battle. Once Giovanni is defeated, you’ll be able to rescue Shadow Lugia and add this legendary to your own collection. Giovanni is the toughest member of Team Rocket, and taking him down requires several steps to be completed, including beating the other Team Rocket members currently in the game.

If you need help beating Arlo, Sierra or Cliff, make sure to take a look at our specific guides for those enemies so you can effectively counter and defeat them, the same way we countered Darkrai raids before.
