==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Giovanni and Mewtwo form the first sync pair to be obtainable only via Legendary Events, debuting on December 5, 2019.
* Giovanni is from an [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] where [[Team Rocket]] succeeded in taking over the world and he became the leader of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]], which was introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as noted in his character description.
** Yet, out of all Legendary Event-obtainable sync pairs, Giovanni and Mewtwo have the widest gap between when they debuted and when their sync grid got expanded due to that expansion arriving on July, 26, 2021—599 days later.
** The whereabouts of [[Giovanni]] from this game's continuity are currently unknown.
* Giovanni and Mewtwo are the first Legendary Event-obtainable sync pair that can be raised to 6★ EX.

* Giovanni and Rhydon were the first {{DL|sync pair scout|variety}} [[sync pair]] to have access to a {{DL|list of moves (Masters)|buddy move}}.
