In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, while most Pokémon evolve by reaching specific levels, Gimmighoul requires a different approach. To evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo, you’ll need to collect 999 Gimmighoul Coins. This process demands extensive exploration and patience. Here’s a guide on how to efficiently farm Gimmighoul Coins.
How to Farm Gimmighoul Coins Quickly
Gimmighoul Coins can be obtained by encountering Roaming Gimmighoul or battling Chest Gimmighoul. Both types can be found atop various towers scattered throughout the Paldea region. Each tower is equipped with a ladder leading to the top, and once discovered, these towers serve as fast travel points for easier access.
To expedite your coin collection, follow these steps:
- Locate and Unlock Towers: There are fourteen towers across Paldea. Visit and unlock all of them to set up fast travel points.
- Daily Farming Routine: Each in-game day, visit all the towers. After interacting with a Gimmighoul, it will disappear and reappear the next day. In-game days last 72 minutes, so plan your farming routine accordingly.
- Explore Ruins: While Gimmighoul may spawn near ruins, this method is less efficient due to the ruins’ distance from fast travel locations.
Gimmighoul Coin Drop Rates

The coin drop rates vary between Roaming and Chest Gimmighoul:
- Roaming Gimmighoul: These are more common and typically drop between 2 to 7 Gimmighoul Coins, with rare drops occasionally exceeding this range.
- Chest Gimmighoul: These are rarer but offer the most substantial coin rewards, ranging from 50 to 777 coins per encounter.
Since Chest Gimmighoul have a low spawn rate and a minimal chance of respawning daily, it’s beneficial to check Watchtowers and Lighthouses each in-game day for the best chance at finding them.
How to Evolve Gimmighoul
After collecting 999 Gimmighoul Coins, you can evolve your Gimmighoul into Gholdengo by leveling it up. This can be achieved through battles, Rare Candies, or EXP Candies. Once leveled up, your Gimmighoul will transform into Gholdengo.
By following this guide, you can efficiently gather the necessary coins and evolve your Gimmighoul, making your journey through Paldea even more rewarding.
