As a tip, it is easier to find Giovanni on the Team GO Rocket balloons than it is to find him at PokéStops. PokéStop Giovannis can still be decoys, but if you have a Super Rocket Radar active, your very next balloon will yield a guaranteed Giovanni encounter. Stay tuned to Bleeding Cool for an updated Giovanni battle guide so you can defeat and catch his Shadow Ho-Oh.
