Gold PokeStops in Pokemon GO mostly perform the same function as regular ones but offer more rewards. Players can make a PokeStop gold by placing a Golden Lure Module on it. It can be obtained by connecting Pokemon GO to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and sending postcards there. The Golden Lure Module has the ability to attract Pokemon and also Roaming Form Gimmighoul with a certain chance. Together with the Lure Module, it is also possible to get a Coin Bag, which is needed to find this Pokemon. It's best to look for it at Gold PokeStops.

Gimmighoul Coins are needed for its evolution; it is necessary to collect 999 coins, after which the player will be able to get Gholdengo, the next evolution of Gimmighoul. It can be quite difficult to do this because coins Gold PokeStops are only active for 15-30 minutes.

Unfortunately, for many, Gimmighoul is an unattainable goal because Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is an exclusive game for Nintendo Switch. Nevertheless, such players can also benefit from Gold Pokestops. When trainers spin it, they have a higher chance of getting more items than from a regular blue Pokestop. That is all that Gold PokeStops can offer to players who do not play Scarlet and Violet.

Users may have noticed that during A Paldean Adventure event, Gold Pokestops became much more numerous. The fact is that at this time, many Pokestops turn gold without the player's participation. This is a great opportunity to get many items and Gimmighoul Coins. But there is also a certain limitation, which is that Gimmighoul can only be found in Gold Pokestops if it was made with the Golden Lure Module.

Pokemon GO is out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
