Niantic / The Pokemon CompanyThe Roaming form of the Ghost-type Pokemon Gimmighoul is one of the latest additions to Pokemon Go. Here’s how trainers can get their hands on Gimmighoul’s Roaming form in the game.
It was recently revealed via a handful of golden Pokestops that brand new Pokemon Gimmighoul – which can be found in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet on the Nintendo Switch – was coming to Pokemon Go.
The Pokemon Company revealed that Pokemon Go players will also be able to catch Roaming Form Gimmighoul in their game in the future. Here’s everything players need to know about obtaining Gimmighoul in Pokemon Go.
How to get Gimmighoul Roaming Form in Pokemon Go
Following Gimmighoul’s reveal, The Pokemon Company announced that Pokemon Go trainers would be able to catch the roaming Ghost-type in the mobile app.
However, it seems eager players will have to wait until 2023 for the chance to catch the new ‘mon.
According to a post on Pokemon Go’s blog, trainers will be able to link their Pokemon Go accounts with Pokemon Scarlet & Violet sometime in 2023. After doing so, players will be able to catch Gimmighoul Roaming Form in their game.
Trainers who need more information about linking their accounts to certain Pokemon games can find all relevant information on Pokemon’s website here.
Previous Pokemon Go crossover events
This isn’t the first time Pokemon Go has held a major crossover event with a mainline Pokemon title. Trainers who’ve played Pokemon Go since 2018 will likely remember the event where Meltan debuted in the mobile game first.
Similar to this Gimmighoul event, Meltan was teased in during one of the game’s Community Day events. Additionally, trainers could catch and evolve Melta in Pokemon Go and then transfer Melmetal to Pokemon Home to bring it into other games.
While there seem to be a few differences when it comes to Gimmighoul and Meltan’s Pokemon Go events, they should function similarly overall.
