What are Golden Lure Modules in Pokemon Go?

A Golden Lure Module is a special item that can be attached to a normal PokeStop to turn it into a Gold PokeStop.

The main feature of the Golden Lure Module is to attract Roaming Form Gimmighoul to the PokeStop so you can catch it. Additionally, every time you spin the Golden PokeStop you’ll get extra items and the chance of receiving between 5-25 Gimmighoul Coins per Photo Disc spin.

Remember that the Gimmighoul Coins are required to evolve Roaming Form Gimmighoul into Gholdengo.
