Pokemon Go: The best team Giovanni Counter (March 2025)
Some of the best Pokemon go Teams for Giovanni would be MACHAMP, Swammpert and Xerneas/Togekiss. You can use the Machamp combat type to use the Persian type. If Rhyperior is his second choice, Machamp can also cause severe damage before being discarded.
For the second round you can continue with Pokémon with water and ground type, Swammpert. Monster attacks work well against nidocing. His charged attacks help to quickly exhaust Giovanni shields. You can also use Togekiss in the second round if Giovanni chooses kingdra.
The Towkiss Fairy Type is also suitable for the Dragon-Typ Palkia in the last round in the last round in the last round Pokemon go. The Pokémon Fairy, such as Xerneas or Togekiss, can easily face kingdra or Palkia and cause massive damage while resisting the opponent's attacks.
