Roaming Gimmighouls are inGoearly, too
Pokemon GoandScarlet/Violetconnectivity is confirmed by way of a tweet fromthe official Pokemon Twitter account, which asks players to “stay by for future announcements.”
Interestingly, a new Pokemon has been shown off as a result of this collaboration. It’s called “Gimmighoul,” and follows a long line of mythological tricksters that are focused around coins/gold/wealth. Gimmighoul takes on a “chest form” inScarletandViolet, and functions a lot like a Mimic treasure chest in many other forms of fantasy media. But it also sports a “roaming form,” which is live inPokemon Gonow.
Here’s a breakdown:
“Research conducted by Professor Willow and Jacq, a biology teacher from the Paldea region, confirms that Trainers have spotted Gimmighoul in its Roaming Form. Further, there’s another form in the Paldea region called Chest Form Gimmighoul.”
We also get a reconfirmation thatPokemon Homesupport is still planned forScarletandVioletafter launch. Right at 5:01 in the below video at the bottom of the screen, you’ll see that Scarlet/Violet connectivity “is expected to be added toPokemon Homeafter the game’s release.” Future announcements will come at a later date.
WhilePokemonconnectivity is often rolled out haphazardly or late, it’s nice to know that it’s coming at some point.
