Giovanni (Rocket Team)

As the manipulative leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni has a knack for being dishonest. His overall attitude is untrustworthy to say the least, giving off a conspiratorial or serious expression at times. Giovanni is a cold and cruel man, as shown when he ordered his Persian to kill two defenseless enemy agents by ripping them in half. He does not care in the slightest about manipulating the innocents (humans and Pokémon alike) who were subjected to his own experiments, viewing them as players and mere weapons. It is revealed during his relationships with Pokémon such as Mewtwo, Meloetta, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus, that he views all Pokémon as a source of power for his own will to abuse.

Giovanni is a charismatic leader, allowing most of his subordinates to remain loyal to him until the end. Giovanni also becomes knowledgeable about different criminal organizations from other regions. A prime example shows that he and his organization once faced off against Ghetsis and his organization Team Plasma, and he also discovers the existence of Team Flare led by Lysandre after James and Jessie informed him about Team Flare and their criminal operations.

Despite his ruthless personality, he probably has a loving side towards his mother if he has a loving side at all. Although his commanders believe that he only wanted to use his son as the heir to the Team Rocket empire, Giovanni actually wanted to reunite with his son before his death. Another example of Giovanni's caring side is when he helps Ash and his other allies fight against the other factions and criminal organizations, although this is likely because his plans were interfered with by them.

Giovanni has a sinister, confident, and ambitious personality, Giovanni also shows his unwavering ability to defeat his opponent and their Pokémon as demonstrated to Gary and Hugh. Giovanni shows his seriousness in battle as a Gym Leader when he faces Gary Oak in a Gym battle. Giovanni also shows his frustration and annoyance towards Jessie, James, and Meowth due to their various failures over the incident they did. When he was first defeated, Ash states that his opinions on Pokémon led to his downfall. When Gary chases him, Gary tells him about his reputation as 'Giovanni of Earth'. Giovanni smiles and asks Gary the importance of his own reputation.

Giovanni is also extremely proud not only of himself but also respects extremely strong people like him, so with respect it was something extremely good and unnecessary for him, if they defeated him he would accept that.

Giovanni is a tall, medium-built, middle-aged man. He has very short, straight, dark hair and small, dark eyes. He also always has a sinister look on his face. He wears a black, long-sleeved shirt with a large V-neckline that shows a white undershirt, with the Team Rocket logo on the left chest, baggy black pants, and black shoes.

Giovanni was born in the Verdant Forest, like certain individuals. It was there that he obtained Pokémon: like his Charmander and Persian, and later Kangaskhan, Machamp, Cloyster, Kingler, Crobat Beedrill, only six had evolved.

Giovanni serves as the leader of Team Rocket, never actually shown taking action in field work, instead sending the Grunts and other members out for that. Giovanni placed Lieutenant Surge, Sabrina, and Koga as his three subordinates, who trained the Grunts, while Giovanni inspired them with speeches. Jessie, James, Meowth, Butch, and Cassidy along with other members, constantly strive to please him in their actions, usually without his compliance. Despite serving Giovanni, Gym Leaders, such as Koga, were given little time to train and improve in battles. Giovanni also had his scientists perform experiments in order to have control of all matters of substance.

Giovanni also had a son, Kamon, who was kidnapped by the Masked Man, who knew that Silver was the son of a leader of the criminal organization. Giovanni also wrote a manual on how to raise Ground-type Pokémon called "Secret Arts of the Ground." It reflected all of his knowledge as an expert on Ground-type Pokémon.

is a criminal association founded by Madame Boss and now under the command of her son, Giovanni. This organization will do anything to make money. Its most common business is stealing Pokémon and then selling them at high prices, as did Hunter J.

Giovanni also wants to have a collection of the strongest Pokémon in the world, and he uses his team to do so. The headquarters is located in the Kanto region, Viridian City to be more precise, but Team Rocket has active members in more regions.

Persian is a large feline-shaped Pokémon. Its fur is smooth and soft in texture, with a light cream-colored hue. Its ears have a black outline and it has a ruby ​​on its forehead that it can make shine at will, mainly used to intimidate its rivals. Persian has quite sensitive whiskers with which it can sense pressure changes and thanks to this predict the most subtle changes in the environment. Persian is territorial in nature and has actually gained a bad reputation for being known as a malicious, ruthless and cruel Pokémon (this character is shown when it has suffered a lot in the past) so it is a Pokémon that is not recommended for novice or inexperienced trainers. As for physical and psychological factors, Persian has a strong look, a tendency to be very aggressive, arrogant and rebellious, and is not very sociable unless it is domesticated from Meowth.

The biology of this Pokémon is not at all clear. Some sources claim that it is a being with three heads, while others specify that it is three Diglett brothers who dig together. It is not possible to verify one or the other because, as with its pre-evolution, Diglett, it is not known at all how these Pokémon appear underground. The function of the organs they have in the middle of their face is also unknown, although it is assumed that they are snouts or noses that help them dig. Dugtrio causes strong earthquakes by digging at enormous depths (more than 100 km deep). Its size is considerably larger as is its resistance to light. Its shape is theoretically ideal for the underground life they lead, since it seems that the "heads" dig in turns and go up and down, similar to the game Matatopos, to loosen the nearby earth and make digging easier. It lives in caves like Diglett and is not too fond of sunlight.

Within its anatomy there is a resemblance to its counterpart Nidoking. This Pokémon cannot raise eggs as it does not belong to any egg group; it lives in the grasslands and has scales that help it make very powerful attacks and also provide great defense. It also takes advantage of its great corpulence to make attacks such as Knockdown or Body Slam. It is a Pokémon that has a wide variety of attacks (it can even learn electric, ice and water type attacks, among others, with poison being the predominant type). Another fact that is important to note is that there are no movements that are multiplied by 4 when attacking this Pokémon. It has very thick skin that protects it from almost all existing attacks, and although its horn is small, it is still extremely dangerous.

It is a Pokémon that can easily be seen in plains. It is usually found in numerous herds of dozens of individuals. It has three tails that help it gain great speed and maintain balance. It also has a thick mane that is useful for covering itself in unfavorable climates, as well as three pearls on its forehead that help it cushion attacks to protect itself from being broken. They can be seen near some villages similar to the Midwest. It has the shape of a bull. Since they are always males, it is compatible with Miltank for pairing. Tauros is an excellent Pokémon to train since its great attack strength and extreme speed give it a powerful advantage to be able to defeat the opponent in a single blow.

This Pokémon has a strong character and is somewhat violent. It lives in mountains, valleys, and, rarely, in deserts. It can spin its horn like a drill to destroy entire mountains. Its body is rough and very dry. It is very competitive with its own kind and will not hesitate to do anything to win. Its skin is like armor. Rhydon is not very friendly. It is a very territorial and aggressive Pokémon, but if it is trained well it will become very loyal to its trainer. It is a very powerful Pokémon. Rhydon's drill horn is capable of drilling through diamonds and can knock down a building with a shake of its tail. Its rocky body is strong enough to withstand a direct shot from a cannon. It uses its horn to dig caves or drill through rocks to keep it strong. In addition, it is one of the Pokémon that can learn almost any TM, which gives it a great advantage over rivals who have a type advantage over it.

It is usually aggressive. It has a powerful horn that it uses to make large attacks. For this reason, it is known as the Pokémon with the powerful drill. Likewise, its tail is so powerful that it can knock down an electric tower with one blow. To achieve greater damage, it swings its tail to the opposite side and hits with all its strength afterwards. There are some that use rocks to sharpen their horn and to strengthen themselves they break them with one blow and turn them into pieces. Sometimes they look for powerful rivals for their battles, such as Charizard, Dragonite and Tyranitar. Despite its imposing appearance, Nidoking is of medium height. Although Nidoking trained from hatchlings can reach two meters, other Pokémon with a similar appearance such as Aggron or Rhydon exceed two meters in height. It could be based on the kaiju Baragon, like its counterpart Nidoqueen. In the manga it is said that Nidoking has acid in its claws, which makes it even more dangerous.
