In the episode ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Giovanni's building was blown up by Mewtwo. He and his Persian survived the explosion and he angrily told Jessie, James, and Meowth to do their job (ironically, they were about to quit).

Giovanni also appeared near the beginning of the movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', as he was the one who had [[Dr. Fuji]] clone Mewtwo for him. After Mewtwo destroyed the lab, Giovanni told Mewtwo that he saw him as a valuable partner, putting armor on Mewtwo and using him to defeat Trainers in Gym battles (including Gary's Nidoking and Arcanine, as seen in the anime) and help Team Rocket in their attempts to steal Pokémon. Eventually Mewtwo confronted Giovanni about his treatment and Giovanni admitted that he didn't see Mewtwo as a partner but as a servant. This enraged Mewtwo and it was this incident which drove it to destroy Giovanni's base, allowing it to escape.

Giovanni is the main antagonist in the movie ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', seeking out Mewtwo, who by this time was living in peace with the cloned Pokémon at [[Mount Quena]]. Once Giovanni discovered it, he tried to recapture it by threatening to use Mewtwo's  cloned Pokémon friends in their experiments, experiments that he also claimed would certainly result in their death. He used two machines to try to make Mewtwo submit to his will, but though Mewtwo stepped into the orb, it was still unwilling to serve Giovanni, threatening to destroy his body first. Ash and the others were able to stop the machines, and it was around this time that they faced off against Giovanni and several Team Rocket soldiers. Their Pokémon fought as a distraction so Ash could get Mewtwo into the spring. Once Mewtwo was healed from its injuries, it moved the spring under the mountain to protect it, and then erased the memories of Giovanni and the other Team Rocket soldiers (excluding Jessie, James, and Meowth) of it, making him forget entirely about Mewtwo. Standing next to [[Domino]] and Persian wondering what they were doing, he got the strange feeling as though he had been utterly defeated.
