Published: September 15, 2023 by Michael Caravette

Gimmighoul was first introduced in Generation IX and had the honor of being the 1000th Pokemon when it evolved. The small metallic Pokemon has two base forms, with one being its chest form, where it hides in a chest of gold. Its second form appears when Gimmighoul leaves the chest and roams around. So, in celebration of its 1000th entry in the Pokedex, we will break down everything from its moves, locations, evolutions, and more.

Gimmighoul is a Ghost-Type Pokemon that evolves into Gholdengo.

Gen IX (Pokemon Violet)	Chest Form: It lives inside an old treasure chest. Sometimes it gets left in shop corners since no one realizes it’s actually a Pokémon. Roaming Form: It wanders around, carrying an old coin on its back. It survives by draining the life-force from humans who try to pick up its coin.
