This research is available to activate in your journal from this Wednesday, February 1, 2023 yes you are level 8 of Trainer at least and if you have already completed previously the A Concerning Situation investigation (and any other Team GO Rocket investigations you still have going on).
In broad strokes and in summary This is what you must take into account to find Giovanni:
