You can use the Coin Bag to catch Roaming Form Gimmighoul!
By sending a Postcard to Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet, you will be able to use the Coin Bag in Pokémon GO.
When you use the Coin Bag, Roaming Form Gimmighoul will appear near you for a certain period of time!
It seems that Gimmighoul love and are lured in by the bag’s treasure chest–like appearance and the sound of coins jingling within. Professor Willow noticed that Roaming Form Gimmighoul wanders around more to return to treasure chests than to collect coins, so he developed the Coin Bag and entrusted it to you.
You can use it once per day by sending a Postcard. We hope you enjoy this connection with Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet every day!
*You will be able to send Postcards by pairing Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet with Pokémon GO.
*You can send a Postcard only once per day. Your ability to send a Postcard resets at midnight.
*The first time you send a Postcard, you will receive the Coin Bag and be able to use it.
*Once you send a Postcard, you will be able to use the Coin Bag again.
*The Postcards you send will remain in your Postcard Book, but each Postcard can only be sent once.
