Pokemon GO, a game that gained immense popularity upon its release, continues to captivate a large and devoted fanbase with frequent updates. In 2022, the introduction of Gold PokeStops presented players with the chance to train the new Gimmighoul Pokemon. While some players may have overlooked these PokeStops initially, the A Paldean Adventure event significantly increased their prevalence. As a result, it is crucial for Pokemon Go players worldwide to understand the significance and potential utility of these Gold PokeStops.
What are Gold PokeStops?
Gold PokeStops in Pokemon GO function similarly to regular ones but offer increased rewards. Players can upgrade a PokeStop to gold by using a Golden Lure Module, which can be obtained by linking Pokemon GO to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and sending postcards. When a Golden Lure Module is activated, it not only attracts Pokemon but also has a chance of attracting the Roaming Form Gimmighoul. Additionally, players can obtain a Coin Bag, necessary for finding this Pokemon, alongside the Lure Module. It is advisable to search for Gimmighoul at Gold PokeStops.
To evolve Gimmighoul, players must collect 999 Gimmighoul Coins. These coins can be a challenge to obtain since Gold PokeStops only remain active for a short duration of 15-30 minutes.
Unfortunately, Gimmighoul remains out of reach for many aspiring players due to its exclusive availability on Nintendo Switch in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, those players can still benefit from Gold Pokestops. These unique Pokestops offer a greater chance of obtaining more items compared to regular blue Pokestops. This is the extent of what Gold Pokestops provide to players who are not engaged in the Scarlet and Violet experience.
During A Paldean Adventure event, users may have observed a significant increase in the number of Gold Pokestops. It is worth mentioning that these Pokestops autonomously transitioned to gold without any action required from the players. This presents an excellent chance to obtain a multitude of items and Gimmighoul Coins. However, it is important to note that Gimmighoul can exclusively be found in Gold Pokestops if the Golden Lure Module was used. Pokemon GO has been released for both iOS and Android mobile devices.
