Getting to a Boss can be quite tough, and the proof of that is Giovanni, Team Go Rocket Boss. Yes, Team Go Rocket is in Pokemon Go, again.
Giovanni is a menacing character that is the Boss of Team Go Rocket, a team that is known for corrupting many Pokemon, turning them into Shadow Pokemon. Many Trainers fear Giovanni, mainly because he has Shadow Pokemon that are practically unbeatable.
However, everything can be solved with a solid Pokemon team. Now, to get to Giovanni, first, you need to get to the Team Go Rocket Leaders. To get to them, you need to defeat several Grunts. It is a long process, but it is all worth it when you get Shadow Regirock at the very end. Keep in mind, you will need several times to beat Giovanni.
We mentioned Shadow Regirock, but this one is not the only Pokemon that Giovanni is using.
Here is the list of what Shadow Pokemon Giovanni has, including the best encounters against them.
