Tired of too many ads? go ad free now
Sounds exciting? It is. But how do you actually
get
this special Gimmighoul?
Gimmighoul's Anniversary Twist
Normally, if you want Gimmighoul, you need a Coin Bag, and that requires connecting Pokémon GO with Pokémon Scarlet or Violet. But the 9th Anniversary event changes the game. For one week only, you can catch Gimmighoul
without
the Coin Bag. Even better, some of them come holding a shiny new 9th Anniversary Coin!
*Shiny Gimmighoul* FIXED & Caught! 9th Anniversary Event grind & DOUBLE Coin Bag (Pokemon GO)
Your Two Main Options
There are two ways to land Gimmighoul during this event:
1. Free Timed Research
Head to your Today View and claim the special 9th Anniversary Timed Research.
Complete simple tasks like catching Pokémon, making throws, and spinning PokéStops.
Once you wrap up all tasks — boom — Gimmighoul (9th Anniversary Coin) is your final reward.
2. Premium Timed Research
Available in the in-game shop for a limited time.
Includes tasks similar to the free track but with bigger rewards: Incense, Incubators, and yes — another Gimmighoul (9th Anniversary Coin).
This gives you two chances to catch one with the coin — one from free research, one from premium.
Pro Tips to Max Out Encounters
Do Both Research Tracks: Free + Premium gives you double the Gimmighoul encounters.
Use Daily Adventure Incense: Roaming Form Gimmighoul may still appear randomly, so keep your Coin Bag linked just in case.
Check Research Tasks Daily: Field Research tasks tied to the event can also reward Gimmighoul — don't skip spinning PokéStops!
How to Evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo?
Getting the 9th Anniversary Gimmighoul is just half the journey.
To evolve it into Gholdengo, you'll need 999 Gimmighoul Coins.
Here's how to collect them:
Catch Gimmighoul using a Coin Bag
Spin PokéStops with Golden Lures
Walk with Gimmighoul as your buddy
The anniversary event boosts Golden Lure drops, sometimes giving you 9 or even 99 coins per spin. Use this window to speed up your evolution grind.

Can You Get Shiny Gimmighoul Too?
Yep. There's a small chance your Gimmighoul encounter could be shiny. Keep an eye out for a whiter body compared to its usual silver. Combine this with the Anniversary Coin, and you've got a seriously rare Pokémon on your hands.
Don't Miss the Deadline
This entire celebration wraps up on July 6, 2025. After that, the 9th Anniversary Gimmighoul disappears — possibly for good. If you're into rare event Pokémon (especially with cool commemorative touches), now's the time to act.

'I married the guy who hated me in school' — this viral love story has everyone smiling
In a sea of Friendship Day messages filled with old group photos, childhood anecdotes, and notes to friends-turned-family, one post quietly broke through the noise– for being refreshingly real and unexpectedly touching. Aanchal Rawat's post on X on August 3 wasn't a tribute to a friend, but to her husband– the same classmate who once refused to speak to her after an innocent mishap in school. Years later, they crossed paths again– this time not in a classroom, but on a matrimonial app– and the rest, as they say, came full circle. 'I married the guy who hated me in school' In her now-viral post, Rawat shared two contrasting photos– an old class picture with both of them marked out, and a recent one from their wedding. But it was her caption that caught everyone's attention. 'I married the guy who hated me in school,' she wrote. According to Rawat, they barely interacted in school, and their one notable memory was far from friendly. 'I was the kind of girl who didn't want to be friends with boys. A nerdy, shy guy once tried sharing his lunch with me. I accidentally broke his Pokémon tiffin box. I think I almost made him cry that day, and he never spoke to me again,' she recalled. Aanchal Rawat's post on X: A long silence and a light-hearted comeback Years passed, and there was no contact between them– until they unexpectedly matched on a matrimonial app 15 years later. Rawat shared how the conversation began with a callback to their only memorable moment from school. 'His first text was literally: 'Will you ever buy me a new tiffin box?'' Though their school days didn't spark a friendship, their later conversations did. Rawat ended her post with, 'No friendship happened in school, but yes, we ended up married. Happy Friendship Day, husband.' Internet reacts with humour and warmth The post quickly gained traction, with users across X reacting with a mix of humour, nostalgia, and affection. One user commented, 'He remembered! Hope you never break another tiffin again. Wishing you both all the meals and memories ahead.' Another remarked, 'From breaking his tiffin to packing his lunch– love that journey for you!' 'Tiffin box se lekar tiffin banana tak ka safar,' read one comment. 'Pokémon ne bana di jodi,' added another. Some reflected on their own school memories. 'I deserve a love story like this too, God,' one user wrote, while another noted, 'You often become great friends with schoolmates you once disliked.' A user summed it up saying, 'He clearly knows how to hold on to gifts more than grudges. Wishing you two all the happiness.' social media post .
