How To Get Coin Bag in Pokemon Go

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

1. 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.

2. 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

1. Pair games (one-time setup).

2. Send postcard in GO → receive Coin Bag.

3. Use Coin Bag → walk for 30 minutes to spawn Gimmighoul.

4. Catch Gimmighoul → collect coins via throws.

5. Every 5th postcard → obtain Golden Lure → spin PokéStops for extra coins.

6. 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.
