| '''Boss''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんボス''' ''Team Rocket Boss'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They only appear in [[Generation I]] games, and in the remake of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. It specifically refers only to [[Giovanni]], the boss of [[Team Rocket]], though Giovanni's class changes to [[Leader]] when the player challenges him in the [[Viridian Gym]]. The boss appears to be a shady pereson that always wears a suit. He has a badge on the left side of his suit, revealing to be a badge with an "R" on it, from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} representing their status as boss of [[Team Rocket]]. | | '''Boss''' has several referrals: |

| Boss, or more specifically [[Giovanni]], was first seen underneath [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], were he first battles the player, but gets away after losing. He later appears at [[Silph Co.]], where [[Team Rocket]] orchestrated a takeover of the building. The boss waits on the highest floor were the player must defeat him, and obtain a [[Master Ball]] as an reward by the owner. From then, the Boss trainer class cannot be seen again, as Giovanni's class changes to [[Leader]] due to his status as the eighth Gym Leader of [[Kanto]]. Once defeated again at his own Gym, Giovanni mysteriously disappears, apparently seeking to train and start anew after being shown how his methods failed him against the player; Team Rocket has been waiting for his return ever since.

| Boss's only trainer, [[Giovanni]] makes a specific role in the anime. Like the game, he is boss of [[Team Rocket]], along with the main antagonists, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]. While Giovanni very rarely takes the role of antagonist, his agents often have him in mind during missions due to the chance of power, be it through promotion or other means. This gave him a unique series of appearances, mainly during the Hoenn saga, where Meowth often saw how the Pokémon in each episode could be used to help Giovanni and win the trio promotions. These [[Boss fantasy|boss fantasies]] never show his actual personality and occasionally even show Giovanni in [[wp:Super deformed|chibi]] form. However, very little is known about his past in any timeline; he is generally shrouded in mystery.
