PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Ghost Attacker:Astonish Shadow Ball

Gimmighoul is more of a gimmick Pokémon where the adventure lies in collecting 999 Gimmighoul Coins and then evolving it to Gholdengo. 🪙

In terms of battle, this Pokemon has subpar stats that just can't compete with other Ghost types for a place in the PvE meta.

⚔️ Raids

Forget Megas, Shadows, and even Legendaries. Hard-hitting Ghosts like Gengar, Chandelure, and Dragapult are all you need. 👻

🛡️ Gyms

With a measly DEF stat of only 76, Gimmighoul better stay away from Gym defense. 😅

🧬 Evolution

You need to collect 999 Gimmighoul Coins to evolve Gimmighoul to Gholdengo. There is no Candy requirement.

You can get a Gimmighoul Coin by spinning a Gold PokéStop, which is activated by a Golden Lure Module, an item obtained by sending postcards from Pokémon GO to Pokémon Scarlet or Violet. This Lure also results in Gimmighoul spawns.

Additionally, catching a Gimmighoul can also get you its Coins.

PvP Analysis

Gimmighoul (Roaming Form) learns only Astonish and Shadow Ball in Pokémon GO, and has poor stats. Don't use it in PvP battles.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Roaming Form Gimmighoul, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
