Pokemon GO seems to be ready to welcome Pokemon Scarlet & Violet with the appearance of the 9th Gen ghost Pokemon on the maps of the mobile game. Looking at the tiny coin Gremlin that appears near the newly formed golden Pokestops, players are wondering how they can get these Pokemon. Can you catch Gimmighoul in Pokemon GO? Unfortunately, there seems to be a catch with Gimmighoul appearing and you cannot catch them yet. Although, it is only a matter of time before you will be able to do so. If you are still wondering about the connections between all these new turns of events, in this guide we will make it simpler for you. So let’s check out this guide as we explain the Golden Pokestops and Gimmighoul appearing there.
How to Get Gimmighoul in Pokemon GO
Gimmighoul seems to have two forms, the roaming form, and the chest form. While trainers are seeing the roaming form at the golden Pokestops, the chest form seems to be a part of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. This might imply that the roaming form is a part and parcel of Pokemon GO. Since Pokemon is already known for its crossover abilities, this new move is of no surprise to fans of the franchise.
While you cannot catch Gimmighoul in Pokemon GO and add them to your party, they are still quite easy to interact with. However, once Scarlet & Violet is up and running, you can catch this Pokemon and transfer it. Provided you have linked your Pokemon GO and Pokemon Scarlet & Violet accounts. This will most likely be available sometime in 2023.
Till then, players will simply have to adapt to watching the roaming coin Gremlin now and then. While there is no detailed explanation of how things will work out, Niantic will provide more information when Scarlet & Violet launches on 18 November.
