Gimmighoul is a small, blue-gray, metallic, bipedal Pokémon, with bands of two thin black stripes present around its torso and between its gold, circular eyes. It has a pair of thin black antennae and a tail, which are bent near the base and tipped with small gold circles. These antennae vibrate when detecting something it deems notable. In its Chest Form, Gimmighoul hides inside a red chest, decorated with black and golden accents and a silver buckle with an ornate oval pattern, resembling the number 1,000 when viewed from the side. The chest it resides in is full of [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s. In its Roaming Form, Gimmighoul carries one of these coins on its back. Both forms of Gimmighoul have different personalities. | Gimmighoul is a small, blue-gray, metallic, bipedal Pokémon, with bands of two thin black stripes present around its torso and between its gold, circular eyes.

In its Chest Form, Gimmighoul's treasure chest provides defense but makes it hard for it to move due to its weight. Its disguise and low movement speed cause it to be commonly mistaken for an antique and get left behind or taken away. When Chest Form Gimmighoul senses an approaching person or Pokémon, it will use ghost energy to possess its target and force them to collect Gimmighoul Coins. It tends to hide in less frequented places such as warehouses and shop corners to ambush people and Pokémon, and its control has notable persistence;<ref name=SVsite/> one old tale tells of a Gimmighoul who manipulated a young girl to gather 999 coins to fill its chest.<ref name=GimmighoulYT/> It is also known to drain the life out of anyone who attempts to steal its coins. When Gimmighoul has gathered 999 of the coins, it is able to evolve into {{p|Gholdengo}}. Chest Form Gimmighoul was said to have been born inside its chest 1,500 years ago. Chest Form Gimmighoul can live in a variety of different areas in Paldea, such as ancient ruins, watchtowers, and secluded islands in the Paldean Sea. | In its Chest Form, Gimmighoul's treasure chest provides defense but makes it hard for it to move due to its weight.

Roaming Form Gimmighoul is among the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] of all Pokémon, and is created from coins infused with passion. In its Roaming Form, Gimmighoul is extremely timid, running away and dropping its coin as soon as anyone approaches.<ref name=SVsite/> It does not manipulate people and Pokémon to give it coins like its Chest Form counterpart; instead, it is able to gather coins by itself.<ref name=GimmighoulYT/> Despite being found everywhere in [[Paldea]], no one has apparently been able to capture Roaming Form Gimmighoul. It constantly wanders, believed to be searching for the chest it used to live in. For sustenance, it drains the life force of humans who try to steal its coin. This form of Gimmighoul has also been seen appearing in the world of [[Pokémon GO]], where it tags along near Trainers who pick up Gimmighoul Coins.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/gimmighoul/ Gimmighoul — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Gimmighoul has also been observed being lured over through the [[Coin Bag]] and [[Golden Lure Module]]s.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon_go_gimmighoul/</ref> | Roaming Form Gimmighoul is among the [[List of Pokémon by height|smallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] of all Pokémon, and is created from coins infused with passion.
