Why is there no token for Giovani after defeating Sierra, Arlo, and Cliff in the month of June 2020?
You get one after completing the third tier of the Go Fest Battle Challenge.
My son did Giovanni this morning and it is Suicune not Entei, all the above information is mostly incorrect.
it just changed today, so u need to relax
I noticed there was no mention of Dugtrio in the second tier. I encountered that today.
Shadow Nidoking is also spawning as part of Giovanni’s lineup, but we have to wait for more info and update the list.
I encountered dugtrio as well while encountering Giovanni in a balloon raid. Persian was not as super charged either as I was able to beat Persian and dugtrio with Haryama. Leaving just suicune for last.
Garchomp is in the 2nd tier (07/10/2020). I’m currently stuck trying to beat him atm.
I just fought against Giovanni and I got the following lineup: 1st Persian, 2nd Dugtrio, 3rd Suicune and ending up with a Suicune catch.
Good luck to everyone~
What are players using to beat Suicine?
Zekrom with Wild Charge
My fought against Giovanni today (07-10-2020) the lineup was: 1st Persian (i used Terrakion); 2nd Nidoking (i used Rhyperior) then Suicune (Exxegutor). I captured Suicune . Good luck everyone! 🙂
I’m level 38 and I can not beat him. Tried so many combos. lol I may take a break or the phone will be smashed!!
Machamp took out Persian and Khangaskhan. Tyranitar for the win
I’m a level 27 and beat him with a Dragoniten, Gardevouir, and Vaporeon
