Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket & former Gym Leader of Viridian City, is stronger than we thought. It's time to look at his evolution in the main series Pokémon games and figure out his strongest & best team by looking at all of Giovanni's Pokemon in the timeline.
Leading into Pokémon Sword & Shield and Pokemon Masters and with Giovanni soon in Pokemon Go, it's important to know how strong the trainers we've seen in the series are. We're going to take a look at Gym Leaders, Rivals, Elite 4 Members, Champions, etc. and figure out their TRUE POWER.

Seems Lt. Surge is going to be next. One post for it already has an overwhelming lead in likes.
What about Steven Stone or Champion Blue?
Dont be adding mewtwo to his team mewtwo was never givonni's mewtwo was no ones pokemon he was his own
I think you put too much focus on lvl and not team balance or what pokemon would make a great or set up.

Thiiiiiiiiiiis
Everytime I see this joke, I lose a little more faith in Humanity.
Raticate, Pidgeot, Butterfree, Politoed (their first stages are in the same location as him) and maybe Golem and Fearow (from a route before Cherry Grove City)
Raticate would be his highest level pokemon

Is that a sponge bob circlespants reference?

I think it's time for the Lightning American...show me Lt. Surge's TRUE POWER!
I really hope this comes true. I got destroyed by Lt.Surge so many times growing up.

Dugtrio is untiered however that’s only because its arena trap ability was banned from OU. It is also a viable Pokémon in Ubers as it traps and kills Primal Groudon with Tectonic Rage. So depending on your interpretation it absolutely could be an Ubers Pokémon.
Its definitely OU. Its just that smogen banned the one thing that is OU.
dugtrio with arena trap would still be bad on giovannis team
@@notster7114
Apparently not.
The Lethality of Koga’s strongest team sounds pretty awesome to me. Poison had the short end of the stick in the past. But no more.
Would also add his daughter Janine in as well
Idk the Nidos, Gengar, Weezing, Tentacruel, Venusaur, Victreebel and Crobat were all among the best options for early generations. I always used to consider Dragon, Psychic, Ground, Ice, and Poison as the best types
I’ll suggest Koga’s strongest team due to his gym leader appearances and his elite four appearances.
Absolutely my new favorite series on UA-cam.
Damn man, that means a lot 😭 So glad you're enjoying it!!
I really like this series as well
Keep this series going 😭😭

Dugtrio is a soft Uber btw. Arena Trap got banned, that's why it's untiered
Yea, hearing someone say dugtrio is bad because it's frail, and untiered because of the ability ban, is very off.
And if ANYONE would be willing to break a tournament ban, it’d be Giovanni.
@@leviewings4689 just like the man said "every pokemon belongs to team rocket"
levi ewings true
dugtrio would still be bad on giovannis team even with arena trap
I remember the old days when the move 'fissure' was awesome. Giovanni used fissure on one of pokemon during my Red playthrough. Such an amazing trainer. My favorite for sure
Dugtrio is arguably his best Pokemon, it's crazy you left it out.
Arena Trap OP
Saul Muratalla banned
dugtrio doesnt synergise with giovannis team at all
I dunno,
I feel like hippowdon could be an excellent choice instead of Nidoqueen/king. Having a double typing really puts a big weakness in his team.
Sandstream ability would turn Rhyperior into an absolute wrecking ball since rock types get a big sp.def boost in sandstorm.
Hot damn, Giovanni's a serious threat. Glad to see this episode.
This has been the best episode so far
Giovanni has a monster team and definitely should be included in future games
Mewtwo was not givonni pokemon mewtwo is his own master
@@chadmabe7069 You're right, but yet, above any other Pokemon trainer character, Giovanni would definitely be the most legit of all to earn this outstanding privilege such as a Mewtwo in his best possibly team ever...!
Accidentally yelled "Oh hell yeah" on the train because I saw you uploaded this. Great job as always Spectre!
😂 This is too good, your poor fellow train riders! Thanks for the support my friend
I love the True Power series so much. Thanks for making these videos! I love when you try to battle with someone's best team as well. Looking forward to the next one!
I think you should do the one, the only, Blue!
What was his name again?
..........
And his fucking Eevee
Yes!!!
You should do falkners true power since he is a bit underwelming in gold and silver and id love to see how much stronger he can get
He should have had a Skarmory.
It would have been a great early-game revel of a new Pokémon, and Skarmory is pretty underrated.
@@mikehenderson7907 I agree. I mean the very first gym battle in a brand new region only featuring the Most common pokemon of their type from the previous generation is pretty underwhelming. Gen 2 is my favorite gen, but it certainly has its bad parts. Falkner was probably the worse offense imo.
@@mikehenderson7907 The Skarmory would have to be pretty low level to be balanced. A steel type that early? Unless you make a fire type available.
@@cpMetis mareep is available on early routes
Octavio Herschberg Growlithe, too.
Please do What Is Lance Best possible team is next I would REALLY love to see that
This^
Agree
Dragonite x 6
Meteor Mash from Gen 3 still haunts me in my dreams. Show us Steven Stone's best team!!!
Yes!!! Hands down my favorite fight in the Pokémon series.
This series is too good man 10/10. I'm really looking forward to it, keep it up.
Collection of all rivals. Who was the best rival, followed by the best team of all of them combined
Amazing video! I think Lt. Surge should be next
Without a doubt, Uber tier Pokémon like Mewtwo and Mega Kangaskhan are going to be in the team.
As far as I know, he only had Mewtwo in the anime timeline.
Nothing in the games indicated any link.
Edit: Disregard this.
I foolishly commented before completing the video, like a foolish fool.
I see you everywhere reeeeee
Loving this series so far! Can't wait for future episodes, especially if the next is on Lt. Surge!
Are Other NPCS allowed to be part of the "True Power" series? Like, Bug Catcher, or Ace Trainers? If not, then I'll throw my lot in with Azumafoo, show me Lt. Surge's true power.
Ace/Cool trainers would have a possible wildly strong team
That's a good idea actually, though it would take a lot of research, I wonder what the strongest Ace Trainer team would be like
@@august4476 That Cool Boy from Pokemon Stadium with Mew was a nightmare
good. now do gary/blue.
Dont confuse gary with blue. That's an insult to blue himself.
@@koikang6802 im aware. just saying that for recognizion effect.
Been waiting for this. Love giovanni
Absolutely love this series, thanks for continuing it!
What is Lt. Surge’s Best Team?
He just posted it 30 minutes ago!
Tony Da Realest I just saw it then!!
My favorite thing now to watch on UA-cam, this series is fire man!!!
Edit: Also, can't wait for the follow up online battle!!!
Dude, this series is fantastic!
This series is what's gonna get you a lot more subscribers. Enjoy the success. This is series is dope..
One of the most underrated gym leaders, and coolest let's shed some light on the True power of Blaine!! 🌋
Eh, the PWT is willing to look past Giovanni's criminal activities as long as it gets them revenue. Mega Kangaskhan was a surprise but it's understandable since Mewtwo on its own is already crazy broken. This is one hell of a team, you're gonna have fun fighting people online with it. Great video as always my friend! (Also I guess I'll vote for Lance again, lol).
Hahaha I suppose that's true, sometimes the bad boys do bring in the big bucks! Yeah this team is gonna be WILD to use. Guess I'll have to do a "2 ubers" clause of some sort.
@@SilphSpectre 3 Ubers if you add Arena Trap Dugtrio. :3
Dugtrio should 100% be on Giovanni's best team if it has access to Arena Trap.
That ability is straight up banned to Ubers because of how powerful it is.
yeah but given how frail it is it can only possibly do a stealth rock set up then 1 hit if he has access to f. sash. nidoqueen can also set up stealth rock while adding some bulk and can be better at switching the in and out when needed. Do a switch in with dugtrio (unless ur pkmn fainted the turn be4) and pretty much any offensive move nearly or outright defeats it unless its electric type. it just doesnt go well with the rest of the team
dugtrios options dont help giovannis team of already mostly ground types even with arena trap
For a future video, I’d love to see Steven Stones best team

So that's MY Steel Type team. Please comment your opinions. :)
In the manga, Giovanni actually has a special bond with his mega-evolving Beedrill, so if we're not relying solely on game canon, I'd be curious to see if one could incorporate that into a "best team".
Nah these videos are based solely on the games because the anime isn't consistent.
@@hr8290 Well...I was referring to the Pokémon Adventures/Special manga, not the anime, but I get your point. I just think it would be fun to consider outside the game canon
@@guide_sorcery it would be interesting to see their best game team vs best manga/anime team. Maybe hell try it one day
Blue is the first rival in the series and he uses lots of different Pokemon. Let's see a Blue's true power!
Using lore from the other games and some rather well hidden lore in R/B/Y; we can actually see a somewhat ironic twist to Giovanni's story.
At the start of the games; go to the PC in Professor Oak's lab, and you can see a message from Lance; basically stateing the Champion position is vacant; and it's actually implied part of the reason Oak sends Red and Blue off is so they can fill that spot. [Also the cut Oak fight; and Agatha's statement and hostility towards Oak imply that former Champion was Oak himself. Also note that the newly formed Alola leauge has Kukui as a 'placeholder' Champion, implying the regional professor acts as the initial intrim champion. Considering Jhoto dosen't even have it's own leauge, the Indigo Leauge may actually be quite newly formed]
Now; if you look at Emerald/Delta Episode; as well as B/W/BW2; it's confirmed that in the event the Champion steps down, the EIGTH GYM LEADER is offered the position. Not a member of the Elite Four; the 8th Gym Leader. Clair also states that the 8th Gym Leader is effectively a test to see if you are ready for the leauge, and strongly implies they are at or above Elite 4 level. [Remember; it's also shown Gym leaders adjust the power they use based on badges in the direct anime adaptation of Red/Blue with Brock doing so; and also things like rematches in later games; and even as early as G/S/C where the Kanto leaders recognise you as Jhoto champion so don't hold back].
Except... Giovanni is MIA. He *can't* be offered the position of champion.
Had Giovanni simply focused on being Gym Leader; he'd actually have been elevated to Champion.
Love the series, keep 'm coming! Very happy I subscribed!
This is a great series, great work with this video. Gio is 100% one of, if not the best NPCs in the entire series and this did him justice. A WiFi battle with this team would also be dope!
For next True Power: Blaine, Steven and/or Whitney
You know you gotta do Jesse and James now
Best pokemon video series running right now on YT!!! Congrats on it and thank you for the hard work. I would really love to see Byron or Jasmines Steel Type Best Pokemon Team!!!
See this makes more sense to have Giovanni with Mewtwo than Sabrina. Sabrina only had access to it from a download-only tournament that wasn't globally released, rather just to a few regions.
Giovanni has used Mewtwo in the actual games (USUM, RR Episode) and available to all players.
In general while I like these episodes, I think these would be better if you relied less on including rosters from the Wi-Fi download tournaments and focused more on canon, in-game pokemon usage that don't require additional means, since they were purposefully left out of the main game.
He's also used it in Pokemon Masters, if that counts as a game. And yes, focusing on canon Pokemon usage would be nice.
This is the best video Silph this was amazing good job.
Thanks so much Sean! This one was crazy in terms of the workload but I hope people enjoy it and glad to hear you did!!
The legendary rival Blue next please
Lol, I used Amino and Anomo when they were both in Beta. I quit using the sites a few years ago, but I have to admit your advertisement brought up some nostalgia.
This videos are great, I apreciate a man of culture like you good sir!
Amazing video like always!! Please do all the gym leaders and elite four from each generation
I won't give up on asking for Koga! Show me the master of poison's power!
Silph: first villain to battle
Michael: ...
As a young child in 1998, I had a used copy of Pokemon Blue. His Rhydon was THE Pokemon battle that tested my mettle. In fact, it's the reason why I always have a Nidoking and a Rhydon on my team.
YO, WE REALLY DOING GIOVANNI?? DAMN, THIS IS *AWESOME*. I mean, consider it, without that title of Team Rocket boss, he’s legit the trainer that mastered the secrets of the earth, fresh from the Viridian roots. I’ve got a ton of respect for him as a trainer.
Ok i think is unanimously in favor ir the electric soldier, and then Dragon edgelord
Recently found your channel. I’m glad you’re intelligent and detailed, it’s a rarity among Pokémon youtubers for whatever reason.
Great video SliphSpectre!!!!!!
Let's see the lightning American! Lt Surge!
Dope. Can't wait to see this team tried in competitive. :)
I want to see more wi-fi battles with these true power Pokemon sets!! So fun to watch those!
Gardenia would be awesome! Amazing series keep it up!
How about showing us Steven's True Power? We can do more than one Champion, right?
This series is awesome! Please keep doing them! Please do a battle with Giovanni’s team!
Giovanni a Legend! Also, it's scary that all the Evil Teams Leaders achieved their plans.
I argree with you about putting the mega stone on Kanga instead of Mew2.
Only thing I digaree with you is I would swap Nidoqueen for Arena Trap Dougtrio.
I love your Content by the way =),
Like! Very interesting and very good video
When’s Cynthia WiFi? And thanks for the cool series
Or: Wally! Thx for making these fun vids btw
I like the theory that Givoani wasn't a bad guy in gen 1. He was rich as shit and bankrolled the MewTwo project, and when MT went rampant, he tried acquiring Silph Co to use the master ball to control MT
The teams that let Gordon and the other legend are probably there because if they did what they said and it worked out like they wanted...they probably can’t go back lol. No water or nothing but water lol. Idt you would have Re but if it was captured then it couldn’t break there fight up if he’s in a pokeball smh lol. Great video to man I like these true power vids you have, iv been watching them when I can.
My favorite series on this channel by far. Keep it up!! Let’s see some ICE or DARK type gyms up in here. ^_^
Dugtrio with arena trap is Ubers though. It’s not technically untiered since it has its main ability banned in OU
I really love this series, it reminds me of back during the Pokemon Battle Revolution days when I'd cosplay as gym leaders and champions like Brock or Sabrina, Wallace or Cynthia etc...trying to collect as many friend passes to unlock the Rayquaza print.
I love the presentation on this series. You have a very enjoyable voice and an interesting and catching script made for these vids
Thanks so much for the kind words! Hope you continue to enjoy them :D
0:20 That girl lookin' Mommy-Thicc
Honestly thinking, because he has ACCESS to Mega Kangaskhan, doesn't necessarily mean it'd fit better than any of the other options. If we're going for true power, Giovanni would much prefer show off his signature Mewtwo, rather than a Kangaskhan which (regrettably) only makes the cut in Kanto, at relatively low levels too.
I'd think he'll go with Mega Mewtwo Y if he had the chance. In which case, Dugtrio takes Kangaskhan's spot: Battle Agency Dugtrio does have Arena Trap, and is at level 68 as well.
Great video though!!
Can't wait to see the battle video
Garchomp has been an ou staple every generation, it def deserves a spot on this list, in fact in gen 4 garchomp was so good it was banned to Ubers
So amazing!
I really would like to see N’s true power team
I really want to see you do N next. Besides him being a better villain than Giovanni could ever hope to be, he has a much wider arsenal of Pokemon at his disposal.
i'm really surprised red still haven't got his episode
Giovanni really going for cage matches during B2W2
When you test it in a wifi battle (if you test it), maybe you could try to comment the battle live?
I really liked the previous ones and I think it would be even better if there weren't those moments where you say you lose a pokémon or do a critical before it happens on screen.
You could still make an analytical conclusion about what you thought of the team ;)
Great video ;)
Yayyyy!! Thank you for the video ❤️
Are you doing a wifi battle video with Cynthia’s best team?
I'm gonna request this again, because I really wanna see it:
Show me Jasmine's true Steel power!
The coolest part about how strong Giovanni is isn't even in his pokemon nessecarily. In the manga it's been revealed the Red has a special bond with his pokemon and its special because he was born in the viridian forest. Giovanni was also born in the Viridian forest and has that same level of bond with his pokemon as Red does. So in theory Giovanni has the potential to be as strong of a trainer as Red.
Sabrina!!! Gotta cover her strongest team👌👌👌
I like the cannon of this team. Spanning over several years and videos games. The Mewtwo is a clear reference to the anime. And Rhyperior is a reference to the manga, in which Giovanni was the first one to discover that Rhydon had an evolved form.
Is it just me or does that “true power” hit hard
Man I would love a game that has Giovanni as the final boss but his team is set to 70+ and excluding Mewtwo and including Persian could consist of any combination of these final 12 Pokémon and you wouldn’t know what to prepare for until you fight him, and once you beat him he comes in with the remaining 6 but subs one out for Mewtwo at an even higher level than the rest of the team to blindside you. I want to fight Giovanni where he’s not playing fair and could even have a device that would instantly KO or even steal your Pokémon if you leave it in too long without switching
I love these videos! You should do Gary!
It would be awesome to see you play with the best possible team in a Wifi Battle!
15:58 Dugtrio might be untiered, but with Arena Trap, it's Uber. Sure it's super frail, but also Blazing fast and can knock out electric types with earthquake while trapping them. A great switch to pivot in whenever you go Gyrados. Choice Band Dugtrio can one hit a lot of fire and all electric Pokemons. If not trapping but sand force, with Hippodown sandstream , it can definitely one shot Pokemons with stab earthquake, plus Garchomp can use Sand Veil and be super annoying and strong since it has only Nidoking to deal with dragons but being weak to Ground puts Nido below
Can't wait for GO's Giovanni
Garchomp: am I a joke to u?
I thought it was interesting how I hit a Chic-Fi-La ad on this video with a guy named Giovanni
Please do those wifi online battles with this team and Cynthia's team!
