Pokémon Trainers around the world!
Link with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has begun
The Nintendo Switch software Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Pokémon GO can now be linked!
By sending Postcards from Pokémon GO, you will be able to catch Gimmighoul (Roaming Form) and enjoy collecting Gimmighoul Coins in the real world.
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the appearance of Vivillon, which lives in the Paldea region, will change according to the location information on the “Postcard”.
For more information on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, please see the official website.
Let's use the Coin Bag to catch Gimmighoul (Roaming Form)!
By sending a postcard to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you will be able to use the “Coin Bag”.
When you use the “Coin Bag”, Gimmighoul (Roaming Form) will appear near you for a certain period of time!
It seems that the treasure chest-like appearance and the sound of the coins inside lure them in, and they become entranced.
Professor Willow noticed that the Gimmighoul (Roaming Form) wanders around more to return to the treasure chest than to collect coins, so he developed the “Coin Bag” and entrusted it to you.
You can use it only once a day by sending a postcard, so enjoy working with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet every day!

Give 999 Gimmighoul Coins to Gimmighoul (Roaming Form) to evolve into Gholdengo!
You have a chance to get Gimmighoul Coins by catching Gimmighoul (Roaming Form) or walking with it as Buddy.
In addition, you can also get them from Gholden PokéStop!
Chance to collect Gimmighoul Coins using Gholden Lure Module!
Gholden Lure Module can be obtained by sending multiple Postcards to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
By using the Gholden Lure Module, you can turn a PokéStop into a Gholden PokéStop, from which you can collect Gimmighoul Coins.
It seems that you can get more items from a Gholden PokéStop than from a regular PokéStop.
In addition, Gimmighoul (Roaming Forms) may appear in extremely rare cases.
Let’s walk around various places in the real world to collect Gimmighoul Coins and evolve into Gholdengo!
"Wild" Golden PokéStop will occur for a limited time!
“Wild” Golden PokéStop may occur for 24 hours from now to commemorate the start of link with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!

Although no Gimmighoul (Roaming Form) appear at “Wild” Golden PokéStop, take advantage of this opportunity to collect Gimmighoul Coins!
