In Pokémon GO you can currently challenge the Rocket Boss Giovanni. Now the tough opponent also has a Unova Stone as a reward.
This is how you find Giovanni: You can encounter Giovanni as part of the Rocket Special Research. Whether you are currently working on “A Long Shadow” or are already battling “A Growing Challenge” – in the end, the Rocket leader will face you.
Currently, he confronts you with Crypto-Zapdos, which replaces Articuno as an opponent and a Pokémon to rescue. And there is now also an additional reward.
Giovanni has the Unova Stone – this is what he can do
This is how you get the Unova Stone from Giovanni: Currently, it seems that the Unova Stone has simply been added to Giovanni’s regular rewards. Some players on Reddit report their battle against the boss that brought them the evolution stone at the end.
However, this only applies to players who fought Giovanni with Zapdos. It seems that the new reward has come with the new month.
This is what the Unova Stone can do: You need the Unova Stone to evolve certain Pokémon. These currently include:
- Vegimak
- Grillmak
- Sodamak
- Laternecto
From these, you ultimately get the following evolutions:
- Vegichita
- Grillchita
- Vegichita
- Skelabra
Vegichita and Sodachita are difficult to obtain, as these are regional Pokémon. Skelabra is the Pokémon, that you should currently evolve first with the Unova Stone. It is one of the best Ghost and Fire attackers.
In addition, Zapplarang, Chillabell, and Somnivora will soon be available in the game, for which you will also need the Unova Stone. So it is worth having a few more on hand.
Where else can I get the Unova Stone? In addition to Giovanni, with a bit of luck, the Rocket bosses will also drop the stone. Besides, it was available in the Research Breakthrough and at the event “A Colossal Discovery“.
By the way, the big Community Day is coming soon:
