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.

His first appearance was in the episode ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', choosing a {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} as his "top cat" over {{MTR}}, and talking to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and Meowth through a TV screen. His face always remained hidden in the shadows, usually with only his mouth visible. In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', it is revealed that he owns the theme park, Pokémon Land, and the giant mechanical Pokémon in it, and was not happy to hear that it had been destroyed.

Up until his appearance in the episode ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', his voice was altered with a {{wp|vocoder}} effect, masking his identity. It can be inferred that they were trying to imitate the games, as in [[Generation I]] it is not outright revealed that Giovanni, the Team Rocket boss, is the Viridian Gym Leader. As this episode corresponds to the point at which players of the games would discover that the two were the same, Giovanni finally steps out of the shadows, revealing his face in a battle against [[Gary Oak]], and defeating him utterly using his {{an|Mewtwo}}.
