Description This leader of the expansive Team Rainbow Rocket enterprise, which aims to use Pokémon to rule the world, believes Pokémon are no more than tools.

Giovanni (Japanese: サカキ Sakaki) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series. He forms a sync pair with Mewtwo, which is capable of Mega Evolving after acquiring its Power Boost from the Villain Event Spreading Shadows. This sync pair was first made available on December 5, 2019. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX from September 16, 2021. However, unlike other sync pairs, this pair cannot be upgraded with Champion Spirits - only Custom Legendary Spirits from the Villain Event Looming Shadow of Kanto can be used.

Giovanni in his sygna suit forms a sync pair with Nidoking. This sync pair was first made available on May 19, 2022. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX from the day it was released.

Giovanni in his Classic attire forms a sync pair with Persian. This pair was first made available through a sync pair-up event on August 15, 2022, and could be raised to 6★ EX from the day it was released.

Mewtwo

Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 01005, which allows "Battle! (Giovanni) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)" to be played in the Jukebox.
