How to get Gimmighoul in Pokémon GO’s 9th Anniversary Coin event?

Pokémon GO is throwing a massive party for its 9th Anniversary, and one little treasure-loving Pokémon has stolen the spotlight — Gimmighoul. From July 1 to July 6, 2025, trainers have a rare chance to encounter Gimmighoul with a 9th Anniversary Coin. Sounds exciting? It is. But how do you actually get this special Gimmighoul?Normally, if you want Gimmighoul, you need a Coin Bag, and that requires connecting Pokémon GO with Pokémon Scarlet or Violet. But the 9th Anniversary event changes the game. For one week only, you can catch Gimmighoul without the Coin Bag. Even better, some of them come holding a shiny new 9th Anniversary Coin!There are two ways to land Gimmighoul during this event:Getting the 9th Anniversary Gimmighoul is just half the journey. To evolve it into Gholdengo, you’ll need 999 Gimmighoul Coins.Here's how to collect them:The anniversary event boosts Golden Lure drops, sometimes giving you 9 or even 99 coins per spin. Use this window to speed up your evolution grind.Yep. There’s a small chance your Gimmighoul encounter could be shiny. Keep an eye out for a whiter body compared to its usual silver. Combine this with the Anniversary Coin, and you’ve got a seriously rare Pokémon on your hands.This entire celebration wraps up on July 6, 2025. After that, the 9th Anniversary Gimmighoul disappears — possibly for good. If you’re into rare event Pokémon (especially with cool commemorative touches), now’s the time to act.
