The burning question on every Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Pokémon GO trainer’s mind: How many Gimmighoul Coins can I actually get? The short and sweet answer is: You can hold a maximum of 999 Gimmighoul Coins in both games at any given time. This is the exact number needed to evolve Gimmighoul into the spectral treasure chest powerhouse, Gholdengo, in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Once you use those 999 coins to evolve Gimmighoul, you’ll have to start your coin-collecting quest all over again.

Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty details, exploring the fascinating world of Gimmighoul Coins across both Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Pokémon GO. We’ll uncover the best ways to amass your hoard, what to do with extra coins, and answer all your burning questions about this peculiar currency.

Understanding the Gimmighoul Coin Ecosystem

The introduction of Gimmighoul and its evolution, Gholdengo, added a unique twist to the Pokémon evolution mechanic. Instead of traditional leveling up, trading, or evolution stones, you need a specific currency: the Gimmighoul Coin.

Gimmighoul Coins in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

In the Paldea region, Gimmighoul appears in two forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form.

Chest Form: These are the Gimmighoul found clinging to towers, ruins, and isolated spots across the map. Battling and defeating them yields a varying number of Gimmighoul Coins. The higher the Gimmighoul’s level, the more coins it’s likely to drop. These range in level from level 5 to level 60.
Roaming Form: These tricky little ghosts are almost invisible on the overworld map. Interacting with them grants a small number of Gimmighoul Coins.

Once you accumulate 999 Gimmighoul Coins, level up your Gimmighoul (Chest Form, of course), and it will evolve into Gholdengo. Be warned, evolving Gimmighoul into Gholdengo consumes all 999 coins.

Gimmighoul Coins in Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, the hunt for Gimmighoul Coins is tied to the connection between Pokémon GO and Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.

Golden Lure Modules: By sending postcards from Pokémon GO to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, you can earn Golden Lure Modules. These special lures transform PokéStops into Golden PokéStops. Spinning these stops rewards you with Gimmighoul Coins.
Roaming Form Gimmighoul Encounters: Rarely, you might encounter a Roaming Form Gimmighoul in the wild. Catching these sneaky Pokémon also gives you a small number of coins.

Golden Lure Modules are very important for coin collection in Pokémon GO.

What Happens When You Exceed the 999 Coin Limit?

This is where things get interesting. Both games cap your coin inventory at 999.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: If you find additional coins while you’re already at 999, you can find an NPC in Medali who will take them and hold them for you. The NPC will hold onto the coins, giving them back to you when you have less than 999.
Pokémon GO: If you would receive a Golden Lure Module when you already have one in your inventory, you will receive five Gimmighoul Coins instead. However, if these coins push you over the 999 limit, you will lose them.
