As players continue to collect mysterious Gimmighoul coins.
Why are PokeStops now golden?
What is this little goblin doing following me?
Oh wow, this professor is from the new Scarlet and Violet games?
Are all questions I had.
In a similar manner to how Meltan was used to promote Pokemon Let’s Go!
Instead, fans will have to be patient for an update due in 2023.
There’s another difference here, too.
Gimmighoul comes in two versions - one each for Pokemon Go and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.
In the latter games, the little goblin creature can only be caught inside a treasure chest-like shell.
In the former, he can be caught while roaming.
Tapping on the creature won’t let you catch it yet, however.
Instead, it will offer up a little speech bubble showing a mysterious coin.
For now, the gold coins are just sitting in players' inventories.
“A coin with a mysterious air,” the item’s description reads.
“It seems to have originated in the Paldea region.”
I’ve found 14 so far, and am still collecting them - here’s hoping they’re useful.
Professor Willow will tell us more soon enough.
