We all know what PokéStops are. They’re the most common source for items, eggs, gifts, Pokémon, and lure modules. If they’re blue, they are unvisited, and if they are purple, they’ve already been visited. Anew update to Pokémon GOhas added a new colored PokéStop: a gold PokéStop. Here’s what it does.
What are the Gold PokéStops in Pokémon GO?
Gold PokéStops are different from the rest of the PokéStops since they are special. They give youbonus items, specifically a chance of gettingGimmighoulCoins. You need 999 of these coins in order to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo for the first time.
To catch a Gimmighoul to begin with, you need to connect your Pokémon GO account to the Pokémon Scarlet or Violet game. You will then receive an item called aCoin Bag, which is similar in function to an incense. It gives you the ability to see and catch Gimmighoul.
