Pokemon Go is celebrating its birthday with a special ninth anniversary event until July 6, and as part of the festivities, you’ll have a chance to get the rare Gimmighoul. The Coin Hunter Pokemon is typically hard to find in the mobile game, but during this event, you’ll be able to catch some by completing Research tasks. What’s more, you may even come across a shiny one.
To help you add the elusive Pokemon to your collection, we’ve put together this guide detailing how to catch and evolve Gimmighoul. Be sure to also check out our Pokemon Go July 2025 events guide for a look at everything happening in the game this month.
How To Get Gimmighoul
Aside from trading, there are two main methods of getting Gimmighoul in Pokemon Go. The first involves the Coin Bag, an item you receive after connecting the mobile game with Pokemon Scarlet or Violet, while the second is to simply wait for the Pokemon to appear during special events.
