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.

===Pre-release teasers===

Gimmighoul's Chest Form may be based on the {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs, known for disguising itself as treasure chests. Its Roaming Form may be based on the Catalan folktale of {{wp|Patufet}}, a tiny child who carries a coin. It may also be based on the {{wp|toyol}} (also known as ''tuyul''), an infant-like spirit from Indonesian and Malay folklore invoked to steal riches from people. Gimmighoul's association with the number 999 may be a reference to {{wp|Fineness#Gold|999 fine gold}}, equivalent to 24 karat gold.

====Name origin====

Collecurei may be a combination of ''collect'', 霊 ''rei'' (spirit), and a pun on the phrase これくれ ''kore kure'' ("Give me this").
