Roman Torchwick vs Giovanni

Roman Torchwick vs Giovanni is the seventh episode of Kontororou's RWBY vs PKMN series. It pits Roman Torchwick of RWBY against Giovanni of Pokémon.

Intro
Throughout fiction, crime is regularly used to strike fear into the innocent, but these two are experts in organizing it. Giovanni, the head of Team Rocket. Roman Torchwick, the White Fang commander. I'm Kontororou, and I analyse feat, faults and arsenal to see who would win RWBY vs PKMN.

Giovanni
Team Rocket. The name alone strikes fear into the hearts of the people of Kanto. A crime organization bent an taking over the world by any means necessary. Which man could possibly want to achieve such a goal? His name is Giovanni.

The Head of Team Rocket and the ex-Viridian City Gym Leader, Giovanni is ruthless, cunning and an expert strategist. As a specialist in Ground types, he is effective against foes that stay on the ground. For this fight, he will have his most iconic Pokémon, namely Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Persian, Kangaskhan, Dugtrio and Rhyperior.

Nidoking and Nidoqueen are dual Ground- and Poison-types. This grants them resistance to Rock-, Poison-, Fairy- and Fighting-types, weakness to Water-, Ice-, Psychic- and Ground-types and immunity to poisoning and Electric-types. Kangaskhan and Persian are both pure Normal-type Pokémon. This makes them weak against Fighting-types and immune to Ghost-types.

Dugtrio is a pure Ground-type Pokémon. This provides it with resistance to Rock and Poison type moves, weaknesses to Ice, Grass and Water type attacks and immunity to Electric attacks. Rhyperior is a dual Ground- and Rock-type Pokémon. The combination gives it resistance to Normal-, Poison-, Flying- and Rock-type moves, immune to Electric-type moves and weak to Fighting-, Steel-, Ground-, Water-, Grass- and Ice-type attacks.
