The second phase of From the Shadows asks us to defeat six Team GO Rocket Grunts, capture four Shadow Pokémon at the end of the fight against a Team GO Rocket member, and purify two Shadow Pokémon. We can go about doing all three tasks at the same time (we fight Grunts, then we capture their Shadow Pokémon and then we purify them using Stardust and Candies).

The third phase of From the Shadows consists of defeating the three leaders of Team GO Rocket: Arlo, Cliff and Sierra. To meet them we must have a Radar Rocket equipped and active, which is achieved by buying it in the store, obtaining it in events or with six Mysterious Components that we obtain by defeating Team GO Rocket Recruits. Since with this last method we get a Mystery Component with each Team GO Rocket Grunt we defeat, in this way we would need to defeat a total of 18 Grunts to be able to create three Radar Rockets.

Giovanni appears randomly in PokéStops and in Balloons, but we can run into Team GO Rocket Grunts posing as him, so finding him can be a little difficult.
