Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet are just the latest games to receive the crossover treatment, as Niantic was the first to actually implement a Gen IX Pok\u00e9mon in a way that players around the world could interact with.\u00a0 Now, after months of waiting, Pok\u00e9mon Go players can actually catch Gimmighoul in the game\u2014and in a form not available in Scarlet and Violet, too.\u00a0 Similarly to Meltan\u2019s introduction through Pok\u00e9mon Go in November 2018, Gimmighoul started appearing suddenly following a Community Day last November. No details about the Pok\u00e9mon were available for roughly two days before The Pok\u00e9mon Company shared an official trailer and some lore surrounding Gimmighoul and its two forms.\u00a0 How to find Gimmighoul Chest and Roaming Form in Pok\u00e9mon Go With full connectivity now available for this little crossover, players can officially capture Gimmighoul in Pok\u00e9mon Go following Pok\u00e9mon Day 2023. But only one form of the Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon is available to catch in the mobile game.\u00a0 Gimmighoul (Chest Form) is encounterable and catchable in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet, though players should approach with caution as the mimic-like Pok\u00e9mon is known to control people who get too close using its ghost energy. It can be found mostly in tall watchtowers or within ruins spread throughout Palea.\u00a0 While exploring the region, players might spot a variant of Gimmighoul that is not bound to a chest. This is known as Gimmighoul (Roaming Form), and it will run away from players who interact with it in the overworld, making it impossible to catch. But it does give out Gimmighoul Coins when startled.\u00a0 This is where the differences come into play for Pok\u00e9mon Go since players will only encounter Gimmighoul\u2019s Roaming Form in the mobile title and can freely catch it there.\u00a0 How to catch Gimmighoul Roaming Form in Pok\u00e9mon Go To catch Gimmighoul in Pok\u00e9mon Go, you will first need to connect your mobile game to your copy of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet or Violet. This will let you send Postcards from Go to your Switch, thus unlocking the full contents of this crossover feature.\u00a0 Related: How to connect Pok\u00e9mon Go to Nintendo Switch Once you send your first Postcard through this connection, you will have access to a Coin Bag in your Items menu. Using this will act as a sort of Incense for Gimmighoul, making them spawn in your area for a limited amount of time.\u00a0 Catching Gimmighoul will net you Gimmighoul Coins. These items, which can also be earned through sending more Postcards to Scarlet or Violet, act just like they do in the Gen IX games. Collecting 999 of them will let you evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/27123552\/Gimmighoul.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726847"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726847"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":808644,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726847\/revisions\/808644"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726847"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=726847"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=726847"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=726847"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=726847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
