Here are 15 frequently asked questions about Gimmighoul Coins, designed to equip you with all the knowledge you need on your Gholdengo journey:

1. Where exactly can I find Gimmighoul Coins in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Gimmighoul Coins aren’t just lying around; you need to actively seek them out. Here are the primary methods:

• Catch or Defeat Chest Form Gimmighoul: These are the stationary Gimmighoul found in chests, often atop Watchtowers. Interacting with these yields a varying number of coins.
• Speak with NPCs: Keep an eye out for chatty non-player characters. Some might generously gift you Gimmighoul Coins.
• Environmental Clues: Explore thoroughly! Coins can be found:
  • By Ruins
  • By Signposts
  • By Rocks and other Environmental Decor
  • Glowing Gold Spots in the Ground

2. How many Gimmighoul Coins do I need to evolve Gimmighoul?

The magic number is 999 Gimmighoul Coins. You need this exact amount to trigger the evolution of your Gimmighoul into Gholdengo.

3. How do I use the Gimmighoul Coins once I have 999?

Once you’ve diligently collected 999 coins, simply level up the Gimmighoul you wish to evolve. Use a Rare Candy, EXP Candy, or battle with it. The evolution will occur automatically, consuming all 999 coins in the process. Be sure to select the correct Gimmighoul, as the coins are used up immediately!

4. Is there a cheat code for Gimmighoul Coins?

While not exactly a “cheat” code, there’s a Mystery Gift code: S76334522EHWZ will grant you 7 Gimmighoul Coins and 7 Razz Berries. Every coin helps, so it’s worth redeeming this code.

5. What happens if I accidentally level up the wrong Gimmighoul with 999 coins?

Unfortunately, there’s no turning back. Evolving the wrong Gimmighoul consumes all 999 coins, and you’ll have to start collecting again. Double-check before leveling up!

6. Are Gimmighoul Coins transferable between Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

No, Gimmighoul Coins are specific to the game they are found in. You cannot transfer them between Scarlet and Violet.

7. Can I get Gimmighoul Coins in Pokémon GO?

Yes, but it requires connecting to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Connect your Pokémon GO account to your Nintendo Switch, then send a postcard from Pokémon GO to your Scarlet or Violet game. This will grant you a Coin Bag in Pokémon GO, which acts like an Incense to attract Roaming Form Gimmighoul.

8. How do I get more Gimmighoul Coins in Pokémon GO?

After obtaining the Coin Bag, sending subsequent postcards will give you a Golden Lure Module. Use this on a PokeStop to turn it gold, increasing your chances of finding Gimmighoul and collecting their coins.

9. Can you catch Gimmighoul in Pokémon GO without Scarlet or Violet?

Officially, no. You need the connection to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet to obtain the Coin Bag and trigger Gimmighoul spawns in Pokémon GO. However, keep an eye out for special events that may temporarily offer alternative methods.

10. How often do Gimmighoul respawn in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Chest Form Gimmighoul and the environmental coin spawns generally respawn after a day in the game. Check the same locations periodically to replenish your coin supply.

11. Is there a limit to how many Gimmighoul Coins I can carry?

Yes, you can only hold a maximum of 999 Gimmighoul Coins at any given time. Once you reach this limit, you won’t be able to collect any more until you use them to evolve a Gimmighoul.

12. Are Gimmighoul Coins useful for anything besides evolving Gimmighoul?

Currently, Gimmighoul Coins serve only one purpose: evolving Gimmighoul into Gholdengo. There are no other known uses for them within the games.

13. What is the fastest way to farm Gimmighoul Coins?

The most efficient method involves a combination of strategies:

• Check Watchtowers Daily: Consistently clear the Chest Form Gimmighoul on Watchtowers for guaranteed coin drops.
• Explore Thoroughly: Utilize a map and systematically search for environmental coin spawn locations.
• Utilize Golden Lures in Pokémon GO: If you have access to Pokémon GO, Golden Lures significantly boost your coin acquisition rate.

14. Does the Gimmighoul’s nature or stats affect Gholdengo’s stats?

No, the Gimmighoul’s nature and Individual Values (IVs) do not directly carry over or influence the Gholdengo’s stats. Once Gimmighoul evolves into Gholdengo, its stats will depend on Gholdengo’s base stats, any EVs (Effort Values) you have trained into it, its nature, and its IVs.

15. Are there any helpful resources or communities for learning more about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Absolutely! The Pokémon community is vast and supportive. Consider exploring online forums, joining Discord servers, or visiting websites dedicated to Pokémon strategy and information. The Games Learning Society (GamesLearningSociety.org) also has a wealth of articles about the educational aspects of gaming and game design.
