The Golden Lure is a valuable item in ‘Pokémon GO’ – Here’s how to get one

Now that you can link Pokemon GO with Pokemon Scarlet And Purple, Niantic brought Roaming Form Gimmighoul into the mobile game to celebrate. But if you want to catch the elusive little creature, you’ll need to use a new item: the Golden Lure.

If you’re trying to figure out how to get a Golden Lure in Pokemon GOhere’s everything you need to know.

Golden Lure Mods are used to acquire Gimmighoul Coins in Pokemon GO. They can be installed on PokéStops like standard Lure Mods and grant you Gimmighoul Coins when you spin the PokéStop’s disc. But before you can use a Golden Lure Module, you need to find one.

Luckily, getting Golden Lure mods is easy, even if it takes a bit of time. To get a Golden Lure module in Pokemon GOyou will need to link your Pokemon GO be accountable to Pokemon Scarlet Or Purple and send five postcards between the two games. If you need help linking your accounts, we’ve put together a quick guide to the process. Once done, follow the steps below to send your five postcards.

• Open Pokemon GO.
• Open your “Articles” menu.
• Open your “Postcard Book”.
• Select the postcard you want to send.
• Select the “Send to Nintendo Switch” option.

Once you send five postcards, you will be rewarded with a Golden Lure module. This can then be installed on a PokéStop, which can then be spun to earn Gimmighoul Coins. Keep in mind that these lures only last 30 minutes, so be sure to stick around until they expire to maximize their potential.

Also note that Golden Lure mods are currently not available in the Pokemon GO Store – meaning connecting your two accounts and sending postcards is the only way to add one to your inventory.

The sole purpose of the Golden Lure mod is to help you acquire Gimmighoul Coins. These unique collectibles are needed to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo. Roaming Form Gimmighoul has been known to spawn around PokéStops with a Golden Lure Mod installed, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled after installing one. You can also find Pokemon hanging around PokéStops with Golden Lure Mods installed by other players – so if you have a friend with a Golden Lure, be sure to reach out.
