The Silph Co. base maze is incredibly complicated. In order to make things easier, you will need the card key. On one of the floors, there is a narrow passageway at the back, guarded by a Rocket grunt and a warp pad. If you step on the warp pad, then step off where you warp to and then back onto the same pad, you will end up back on the warp pad. This will allow you to reach the passage, fighting the Rocket grunt there.
Once you have the card key, you can open all of the doors, reducing the impact of the maze. Go through each of the floors and open all of the doors but DON'T step on any teleporters. You'll need to fight all of the grunts to get as much experience as you can. You'll also like a lot of the items that are scattered about.
If at any point you need healing, there's a bed where you can rest on the 9th floor. Just talk to the lady in between them to rest and restore your Pokémon. Once you have beaten all of the grunts you can reach, go to the third floor. There is a double room there. One room has a scientist and a teleporter and the other is practically empty other than a teleporter. Go through this teleporter. You will find your Rival in the room you arrive in.
Your rival is quite tough now. For one thing, most of his Pokémon have evolved. He'll have a Pidgeot, an Alakazam and, depending on his starter, a combination of two of the following; Growlithe, Exegecute and Gyarados. They wil be backed up by his starter, which is now in its final form of evolution and will be at level 40. Your Pokémon should all be at level 41. I'll explain why in a minute.
Once you beat your rival, talk to the Silph employee in the same room. He will give you a Lapras, an incredibly useful and rare Water/Ice type Pokémon. With a huge movepool including moves like Psychic and even Thunderbolt, Lapras is a worthy fighter on any team. For its trait, it can have either Shell Armor, which blocks Critical hits, or water absorb, which negates damage from water attacks and uses them to restore hp.
Once you have Lapras, go back to the bed and heal. then go back to the same room and continue through the other wart tile. This will take you to the corridor where you can access the leader of Team Rocket. There is a Rocket Grunt in your way though. Beat him, heal if necessary and then go into the meeting room. Save before you do though, just in case you lose the battle.
Giovanni's team is very powerful. He still has some of his Pokémon that he had when you fought him in Celadon city, but Kangaskhan is not his most powerful anymore. His strongest now is a level 41 Nidoqueen. This is why I said to be at Level 41 before. It's a Ground/Poison type, so hit it with either Ground, Ice, Water or Psychic attacks to take it down quickly. Use a fighting attack against Kangaskhan and water attacks for the others.
Once you beat Giovanni, talk to the president of silph and he will give you a Master ball. This is the best Poké ball availible, with a 100% capture ratio. You should save it for the very end of the game after you beat Team rocket at the sevii islands, where you can either catch a Legendary dog, which is a nightmare to catch otherwise, or the mighty Mewtwo. The Legendary dog will depend on your starter. If you chose Bulbasaur, you'll be against Entei. If you chose Charmander, you'll be against Suicune. If you chose Squirtle, you'll be against Raikou.
