The first time Giovanni has been seen in battle was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. He used powerful Pokémon against Gary but later left the Gym to deal with an unexplained emergency, leaving Ash to battle Jessie. By the time Ash returned from Hoenn, [[Agatha]] was in charge of the Gym until a new Leader could be found. Giovanni's reasons for leaving it have not been explained. In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Giovanni finally confronted Ash in a battle and won easily.

Giovanni was to have appeared in two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] leading Team Rocket in their efforts to find the [[Meteonite]] and fight [[Team Plasma]]. However, these episodes never aired and their events have been retconned out of canon.


Very little is known about his past in any timeline; he is generally shrouded in mystery. [[Madame Boss|His mother]] was the head of Team Rocket before him. However, this is presumed to be [[canon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} timeline only, as the {{pkmn|games}} have no precedent for this.
