Learn how to find Gimmighoul Chests and Roaming Gimmighouls in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and collect 999+ Gimmighoul Coins to evolve it into the powerful Gholdengo!
Alright, so you've seen Gimmighoul running around or maybe chilling in a chest and you're wondering how to snag one and evolve it into Gholdengo, right? It's a bit of a scavenger hunt, but totally doable! Let's break it down.
First off, you can't catch the Roaming Gimmighoul directly. Your best bet is to hunt down the Gimmighoul Chests. These are usually found at the top of Watchtowers scattered all over Paldea. If you're just starting out, hitting up the Watchtowers in South Province (Area Two) and (Area Three) is a good move, since the Gimmighoul Chests there are only around Level 10.
How to Evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo
Now, for the evolution part – this is where the real grind begins. Evolving Gimmighoul into Gholdengo isn't a quick process; you'll need to explore pretty much the entire Paldea region.
Step 1: Collect 999+ Gimmighoul Coins
This is the main challenge. You need to gather at least 999 Gimmighoul Coins. You get these coins by defeating Gimmighouls, both the Roaming kind and the ones in Chests.
| Form | Coins Obtained |
|---|---|
| Roaming Gimmighoul | 1 - 4 |
| Gimmighoul Chest | 50 - 60 |
As you can see from the table, going after the Gimmighoul Chests is way more efficient. Each chest gives you a hefty 50-60 coins, which will speed things up considerably. Unfortunately, we haven't found a way to make these chests respawn yet, so make sure to grab them when you see them! Keep an eye on those Watchtowers, as they're your best bet for finding these chests.
Don't forget about the Roaming Gimmighouls, though! They're way more common and you'll stumble upon them often during your adventures. While they only give you 1-4 coins each, they really add up over time. You'll often find them hanging out in ruins or perched on top of signposts.
Step 2: Level Up Gimmighoul
Once you've managed to collect a whopping 999+ Gimmighoul Coins, you're almost there! The final step is super simple: just level up your Gimmighoul. Once it gains a level with the required coins in your inventory, it will evolve into the awesome Gholdengo. Congrats, you did it!
Quick Tip: Gimmighoul is a Ghost-type Pokémon, so keep that in mind when you're battling!
