So, you want to know how to beat Giovanni in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive straight into the tactics that will have you winning in no time.
Quick Guide to Defeating Giovanni
The key to beating Giovanni is to understand his lineup and pick your counter-Pokemon wisely. Giovanni always uses a Persian as his first Pokemon, which is weak to Fighting types. So starting with a strong Fighting-type Pokemon is your best bet for an opening move.
After Persian, Giovanni’s lineup can vary, featuring powerful Pokemon such as Kangaskhan, Garchomp, or Nidoking. A solid strategy is to have versatile Pokemon on your team that can deal with a range of types. Additionally, preparing a team that can exploit the weaknesses of Giovanni’s potential Pokemon is crucial. This means having Water, Ice, Ground, and Psychic types ready to go can make a big difference.
