Giovanni, the longtime head of bad guy squad Team Rocket, has officially come to the world of Pokémon Go. The mobile title continues to shake things up with new content and activities to partake in, and the addition of Giovanni means that players are going to have their hands full for the foreseeable future. Take a look:

Here’s what developer Niantic has to say about Giovanni’s arrival:
The world of Pokémon Go is in peril! Team GO Rocket Leaders Cliff, Sierra, and Arlo have made their move and can be encountered by Trainers worldwide! Not only have they caught more Shadow Pokémon and strengthened them through unnatural means—their arrival also confirms a suspicion Professor Willow has held for a while: Giovanni, the boss of both Team GO Rocket and the original Team Rocket, may have arrived in the world of Pokémon Go.
The Team GO Rocket Leaders and Giovanni also seem to be using new technology to conceal the locations of their hideouts. Professor Willow, Spark, Blanche, and Candela have been hard at work developing new devices to counter Team GO Rocket’s new tech, and we ask you to explore the world around you, battle the Team GO Rocket Leaders, and conduct Special Research to find and defeat Giovanni!
