Because Giovanni specializes in Ground Type Pokemon, he is extremely weak against Water Type Pokemon. Fire Types, Electric Types, Poison Types and Steel Types are extremely weak against Ground Type Pokemon, so avoid using them if you can. Defeating Giovanni will earn you the Earth Badge and TM26 (Earthquake), as well as Giovanni deciding to disband Team Rocket (though that won't stop his other colleagues). (The Macho Brace can also be found within this Pokemon Gym by using the ItemFinder.)
