Read more ↓Giovanni is the cunning and ruthless leader of Team Rocket, a criminal organization dedicated to stealing rare and powerful Pokémon. He is also the Gym Leader of Viridian City, specializing in Ground-type Pokémon, though he often uses a diverse range of Pokémon to suit his nefarious goals. Introduced in Generation I with the very first Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Blue, Giovanni quickly established himself as one of the most iconic and enduring villains in the franchise. His signature Pokémon, Persian, is often seen by his side, a symbol of his sophisticated yet sinister nature. Giovanni's character arc often involves him attempting to harness the power of legendary Pokémon for his own gain, clashing with the protagonist throughout their journey. In the anime, he appears frequently, often giving orders to Jessie, James, and Meowth, and his presence always signifies a significant challenge for Ash and his friends. His charisma, as the card implies, lies in his ability to command respect and fear, leading a vast criminal enterprise while maintaining a public facade as a respectable Gym Leader. His influence extends deeply into the Pokémon world, representing the darker side of human ambition and the potential for misuse of Pokémon power.
