How to get Roaming Form Gimmighoul in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

The fan-favorite Ghost-type Pokemon Gimmighoul debuted in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and here’s how players can get its alternate Roaming Form using Pokemon Go.

Players were introduced to Gimmighoul, the Coin Chest Pokemon, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The new Ghost-type comes in two forms, with the standard one being inside a chest of coins. The Roaming Form ditches the chest and roams Paldea by itself.

Roaming Form Gimmighoul has never been caught by a trainer in Paldea, but in Pokemon Go, trainers can easily catch one.

The Coin Bag works exactly like an Incense but with a special focus on Roaming Form Ghimmighoul. You’ll be able to encounter Gimmighoul for the next half hour after it activates, so make sure you have useful items like berries and space in your Pokemon Storage. Pokemon Go players can use the Coin Bag once per day.
