After a dataminer leaked a new coin Pokémon on Friday and the Mythical Pokémon debuted in the mobile game on Saturday, The Pokémon Company shared real details about the creature prior to its release. The new Pokémon, called Gimmighoul, is more complex than expected: it’s not just the shape, as it appears. Instead, Gimmighoul is also part of the treasure chest, where it is hidden in a large heap of gold.
Gimmighoul’s chest shape is what players can expect to capture; according to his lore, the wandering form, without a treasure chest, was seen in the game’s Paldea region, but was never captured. However, that module behaves differently, The Pokémon Company explained in a new video released on YouTube on Sunday. The Pokémon Company has said that more information about Gimmighoul’s capture in (and maybe other places?) Will come in “future announcements”.
Gimmighoul, like many ghost Pokémon (including the recently revealed Greavard), seems to have it all against humans: “When Gimmighoul hears a person or Pokémon approaching, he ambushes them. Then he uses the ghost energy to control his target, forcing you to collect coins.

This is the official description of The Pokémon Company by Gimmighoul, also known as the Pokémon in the chest:
It hides inside a treasure chest and moves slowly
These Gimmighoul hide inside sturdy treasure chests. While this provides them with a solid defense, the weight of the chest causes the Gimmighouls to move slowly, making movement difficult. It is not uncommon for the chest-shaped gimmighoul to be mistaken for an antique and taken home or sold in an antique shop.
Gimmighoul controls people and Pokémon, making them collect coins
When Gimmighoul hears a person or Pokémon approaching, he ambushes them. He then uses phantom energy to control his target, forcing him to collect coins. Since he tends to hide in warehouses, corners of shops, and other places that people and Pokémon don’t frequent, he tends to keep a persistent check on those he can find.
Traveling form of Gimmighoul
It appears that Gimmighoul has a second form called Gimmighoul in roaming. This Gimmighoul does not hide in a treasure chest. He is small, carries only one coin on his back and can be found hidden throughout Paldea. However, as they escape as soon as a person approaches, it appears that no coach in Paldea has managed to catch one.
and will arrive on Nintendo Switch on November 18th. A link between those games is expected to come in 2023 and allow Gimmighoul to be captured. Connectivity could be similar to how players were able to catch Pokemon Meltan, which relied on connectivity with and on the Switch, although neither Niantic nor The Pokemon Company shared any details on the launch of Gimmighoul’s roaming form. .
