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 Scarlet) | Chest Form: This Pokémon was born inside a treasure chest about 1,500 years ago. It sucks the life-force out of scoundrels who try to steal the treasure. Roaming Form: This Pokémon was born from passion that seeped into a coin. It wanders, apparently seeking to return to the treasure chest it once inhabited. |
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. |
