Pokemon GO: How To Beat Giovanni Easy Guide (2021)

During the months of March, April, and May 2021, Giovanni will be back in Pokémon GO for a limited time. In order to assist you in locating it and putting an end to it, we’ve compiled a list of all the relevant details, and Pokemons, as well as the most effective counters.

Giovanni Location

We won’t be able to defeat Giovanni without a Super Radar Rocket. That is why the investigation “The Higher They Fly” is so crucial because each of its six phases is presented as a requirement for obtaining this crucial item and then challenging Team GO Rocket’s leader. We’ll face Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra in Phase 4/6 of these missions, with individual rewards of 1250 XP (3750 XP) plus an additional reward of 2500 XP, 1000 Stardust, and the long-awaited Super Radar Rocket, which we’ll get by defeating the trio of recruits.
