Giovanni (Pokémon GO)

==Summary==
Giovanni, or "G" for short, was originally the Giovanni leading the Team Rocket of another universe; a universe that, apparently, had a lot more of Team Rocket's typical Pokemon than other Pokemon. During his time there, Giovanni discovered a woman living on the street named Sierra and came to save the life of a man named Cliff, and recruited both to be his Team Leaders. Later, he recruited another Team Leader named Arlo after his best friend Candela got the job of being the leader of Team Valor, a job he really wanted, which caused him to run away. Some years later, Giovanni, his 3 Team Leaders, and Team GO Rocket would invade the world of Pokemon GO, with plans to steal every Pokemon and item in the world for their own. Fortunately, this universe has millions of trainers who don't want that to happen. It is unclear if this is the first universe Team GO Rocket has invaded or not.

Attack Potency: Wall level+ (Should be the same as his main canon self) | At least Planet level, likely higher (Superior to the 3 GO Rocket Leaders, while even just one of any of their Pokemon are easily capable of defeating a Mewtwo or Rayquaza that had not sufficiently been powered up from their normal self. Candela, Spark, and Blanche were implied to be required to fight him together, all of which were capable of beating a Rocket Leader on their own. Is the only person in the game with a straight up Legendary Shadow Pokemon, while even Shadow Pseudo-Legendaries can challenge even the most prepared Players. Far superior to his regular Grunts, which pre-Go Rocket arc Spark and Professor Willow had to team up to defeat just a single one, despite Spark owning a Zapdos and Raikou), far higher via Shadow Mewtwo (Acquired a Shadow version of Mewtwo during GO Fest 2020, which should be massively superior to even his Shadow Legendary Birds)
Speed: Peak Human with Relativistic+ reactions (Comparable to Trainers as Yellow or Cynthia who can dodge and react to attacks from fully evolved Pokémon) | At least Relativistic+, likely far higher (His Pokemon are far superior to a base Rayquaza, who can quickly move across the globe. Possesses Shadow versions of the 3 Legendary Birds, meanwhile Shadow Pokemon are vastly superior to normal Pokemon of the same species to the point where it’s common belief that you could never simply power one up to be as strong), far higher via Shadow Mewtwo
Lifting Strength: At least Class 10 | At least Class Z, likely higher
Striking Strength: Wall level+ | At least Planet level, likely higher
Durability: Island level (Comparable to trainers such as Ash Ketchum)| At least Planet level, likely higher (His Pokemon can take numerous hits from the likes of Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and Attack Forme Deoxys, even while the Pokemon have been significantly powered up from their normal selves, requiring the Player to use type advantages to pull a win against him. Blanche, Spark, and Candela have been implied to have to fight him at the same time), far higher via Shadow Mewtwo
Stamina: Unknown | Unknown
Range: Standard Melee Range | Standard Melee Range, Tens of Kilometers with most attacks
Standard Equipment: Poké Balls with Shadow Pokemon, TMs, Rare Candies, Unova Stones, likely anything found in a PokeStop
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius, manages the entire Team GO Rocket organization and outranks all 3 of its Team Leaders, who lead millions of Team GO Rocket grunts themselves. Is capable of tricking the Player, who can easily solve the mysteries behind various ancient Pokemon alongside Professor Willow and is an amazing Pokemon trainer himself. Developed all of Team GO Rocket’s technology, which even Professor Willow admits is highly advanced even without knowing what it is. Engineered the means to convert Pokemon to Shadow Pokemon, temporarily change the entire world’s Pokemon habitats, and globally invade an entire planet all on his own. Routinely finds and acquires new Legendary Pokemon to be used as Shadow Pokemon.
Weaknesses: Several of his Pokemon are weak to Ice-type attacks. Is vastly overconfident, which can be exploited by a smart enough opponent. Finding new Legendary Pokemon takes time, and has so far only found the 3 Legendary Birds, Legendary Dogs, and Mewtwo. His technology can be reverse-engineered if an opponent gets enough of it, however only extremely smart people have been known to do this, and even then it took time. If opposing Trainers get their hands on a Shadow Pokemon and are able to purify them, they will retain some of their power they had as a Shadow Pokemon, which can then be used against him.
