As reported by Serebii.net, following the Pokemon Go Community Day Classic event on November 5, 2022, a mysterious Pokemon began appearing on the in-game map in Pokemon Go.
On the Pokemon Go website, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, revealed this Pokemon is called Gimmighoul.
Gimmighoul will be featured in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, the upcoming Pokemon games that will be released on Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.
Gimmighoul has two forms: Roaming Form and Chest Form. The Pokemon appeared in its Roaming Form in Pokemon Go. You can learn more about Gimmighoul in the video above.
While Gimmighoul isn’t available to catch in Pokemon Go just yet, Niantic said players will have the chance to capture it in Pokemon Go in the future. Specifically, players will be able to link Pokemon Scarlet and/or Pokemon Violet to Pokemon Go beginning in 2023, which will allow them to catch Roaming Form Gimmighoul in the free-to-play mobile game.
