In the beginning of the {{series|Best Wishes}} Giovanni took on a far more significant and antagonistic role than before, now in regular contact with Jessie, James and Meowth and assigning them on various missions throughout the [[Unova]] region. He is now often seen with a [[Matori|secretary]], that helps him in giving orders to Jessie, James and Meowth. Giovanni appeared traveling to Unova in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. He did not make any more appearances for a long time afterward, with Matori explaining that he was too busy to be in regular contact with Jessie, James, and Meowth anymore. During this time, his role as the trio's leader was filled by [[Dr. Zager]]. | In the beginning of the {{series|Best Wishes}} Giovanni took on a far more significant and antagonistic role than before, now in regular contact with Jessie, James and Meowth and assigning them on various missions throughout the [[Unova]] region.

He was set to appear again in two [[BW023 (unaired)|following]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]], but these never aired and ultimately were retconned out of canon.

After a long absence, Giovanni returned in ''[[BW095|Unrest at the Nursery!]]'', making a brief appearance in his office. He appeared in ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' spearheading Team Rocket's "Operation Tempest," a mission to capture {{an|Meloetta}} and use it to take control of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Landorus}} to conquer Unova. For the first time in the history of the series, he battled against Ash directly, with Persian defeating Pikachu. He then captured Ash, Pikachu and Meloetta and escorted them to the ruins in preparation for the next stage of the mission, using Meloetta's song to summon the [[Reveal Glass]] in the temple. At the beginning of ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', he used the Reveal Glass to summon the [[Kami trio]] and transform them into their Therian Formes before setting them against Ash, Iris, Cilan, [[Ridley]] and [[Cynthia]]. However, during the battle Meloetta was dislodged from the mechanism controlling the trio's power, and after looking directly into the Reveal Glass, Giovanni became possessed by the power and went insane, declaring against his followers' wishes that he would instead ''destroy'' Unova. With the Kami trio's power he began freezing the land in ice, but when he was saved from a possibly life-threatening explosion by Jessie, James and Meowth, the possession was broken. On Dr. Zager's advisement he then ordered a full retreat from the Unova region and was last seen flying off in his airplane to return to Kanto with Jessie, James, Meowth and Dr. Zager. | After a long absence, Giovanni returned in ''[[BW095|Unrest at the Nursery!]]'', making a brief appearance in his office.
