Everything else we know about Searching for Gold in Pokémon Go

The main attraction of the Searching for Gold event in Pokémon Go is how, during event hours, certain PokéStops will turn gold without the use of a Golden Lure Module. Spinning these Golden PokéStops may lead you to collecting Gimmighoul Coins, which you need to evolve a Gimmighoul into a Gholdengo.

It’s important to note, however, that Roaming Form Gimmighoul will not appear around these Golden PokéStops. If you want to catch one of these Pokémon, you need to either use the Coin Bag or place a Golden Lure Module at a PokéStop.

Aside from this bonus, the following Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild during the Searching for Gold event:

  • Weedle
  • Bellsprout
  • Lickitung
  • Azumarill
  • Poochyena
  • Buizel
  • Tympole
  • Shelmet
  • Stufful

Finally, you can purchase a pay-to-play timed research quest from the in-game Pokémon Go store for $1.00 or the equivalent price in your local currency. This quest will challenge you to complete a selection of field research tasks and, in return, you’ll earn encounters with Caterpie, Magikarp, Nosepass, Sableye and Barboach.

It’s important to note, however, this quest must be completed before the event ends on Saturday 3rd June at 5pm (local time) or else it will expire.


The Dual Destiny Season is here! It brings the Holiday Part 2 event with it. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.


Pokémon Go Searching for Gold date and times explained

The Searching for Gold event is running on Saturday 3rd June between 2pm to 5pm (local time) in Pokémon Go.

So, if you want to partake in this short event, make sure you’re out and about between these hours in Pokémon Go. We do recommend taking part, because it's an excellent opportunity to gather up some more Gimmighoul Coins.

Hope you enjoy the Searching for Gold event in Pokémon Go!
