How to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo in Pokemon Scarlet / Violet

Gimmighoul is one of the new Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, and we’ve set up a quick guide about how to evolve it into Gholdengo.

The Pokemon Company made a pretty big deal out of Gimmighoul with its own dedicated teaser website before hosting a dedicated reveal. Remember that this creature comes in two forms: Chest Form and Roaming Form. Chest Form can be found in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, while the Roaming Form will show up in Pokemon GO later on.

What is Gimmighoul?

Gimmighoul is a Chest Type Pokemon with the Ghost type. Its Ability is Rattled.

Here’s the description from its Pokedex page: “This Pokemon was born inside a treasure chest about 1,500 years ago. It sucks the life-force out of scoundrels who try to steal the treasure.”

What is Gholdengo?

Gholdengo is a Coin Entity Pokemon with both Steel and Ghost type. Its Ability, Good as Gold, gives the creature a body of pure, solid gold with full immunity to other Pokemon’s status moves like Defog.

The Pokedex entry states: “Its body seems to be made up of 1,000 coins. This Pokemon gets along well with others and is quick to make friends with anybody.”
