Giovanni
Giovanni is the boss of Team Rocket. His team is only three Pokémon, but two of them are Mew and Mewtwo.
Level: between 7x and 9x the level of the strongest Pokémon on your active team. For example, with a level 1,000 Pokémon on your team, the strongest Pokémon on Giovanni's team is level 9,000. Its HP is worked out from that level, so a higher multiplier means a longer fight, not only harder hits.

Planning a counter
- Types that hit the team hard: Dark hits 2 of 3, Ghost hits 2 of 3, Bug hits 2 of 3 for double damage or more.
- Types that take the least from its moves: out of 12 damaging moves on the team: Ghost (immune to 7 and resists 2, none hit for double); Flying (resists 5, none hit for double); Steel (resists 9, but 3 hit for double).
Worked out from the type chart and the moves listed above, stacked the way the battle engine does it. It does not account for abilities, items or the level gap.
