To get and use the Coin Bag in Pokémon GO—an incense-like item that attracts Roaming Form Gimmighoul—follow these steps:
🎮 1. Link Pokémon GO with Scarlet or Violet
-
On your Nintendo Switch (Scarlet/Violet):
-
Open the Poké Portal, tap Mystery Gift, then choose Connect to Pokémon GO.
-
Select Pair with a Pokémon GO account.
-
-
In Pokémon GO (mobile):
-
Open Settings → Connected Devices/Services → Nintendo Switch → select Connect.
-
Choose your Switch trainer to finish pairing.
-
📬 2. Send your first Postcard
-
In Pokémon GO:
-
Go to your Trainer Profile → Postcard Book, pick a postcard.
-
Tap the three‑line menu (“hamburger”) and Send to Nintendo Switch. This can be done once per day (resets at local midnight).
-
-
Upon sending your first-ever postcard, you’ll receive the Coin Bag in your GO item inventory.

3. Activate and use the Coin Bag
-
The Coin Bag, like Incense, lasts 30 minutes and spawns Gimmighoul approximately every 1.5 min.
-
When used, your character will start attracting Gimmighoul for that duration.
-
Once per day: you must send a new postcard to Scarlet/Violet to unlock another Coin Bag for that day.
✨ 4. Extra: Golden Lure Modules
-
Every 5th postcard sent (not necessarily consecutive) earns a Golden Lure Module, which can be used at a PokéStop to make it glow gold and attract Gimmighoul—and give you Gimmighoul Coins when spinning the stop.
📈 5. Collect Coins & Evolve Gholdengo
-
Each caught Gimmighoul can drop a Gimmighoul Coin, more likely with Great/Excellent throws.
-
Spin golden PokéStops under Golden Lure for bonus drops.
-
You need 999 Gimmighoul Coins to evolve into Gholdengo.
💬 Trainer Tips from Reddit
“You need 999 Gimmighoul Coins… You get coins from catching Gimmighoul, better chance of a coin with a great or excellent throw.”
“Every 5th postcard… you get a Golden Lure. That turns a PokéStop gold for 30 mins.”
✅ Quick Daily Routine
-
Pair games (one-time setup).
-
Send postcard in GO → receive Coin Bag.
-
Use Coin Bag → walk for 30 minutes to spawn Gimmighoul.
-
Catch Gimmighoul → collect coins via throws.
-
Every 5th postcard → obtain Golden Lure → spin PokéStops for extra coins.
-
Repeat daily to earn 999 coins and evolve into Gholdengo.
⚠️ If you don’t have a Switch or Scarlet/Violet:
You cannot get the Coin Bag—it’s strictly tied to that connection. Some players may hope Niantic adds alternate methods later (like with Meltan + Pokémon Home), but as of July 2025, a Switch + Scarlet/Violet is required.
