Effect
Having 999 Gimmighoul Coins causes Gimmighoul to evolve into Gholdengo when it levels up (or, in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, is manually evolved), consuming the coins in the process.
Despite being categorized as a TM Material in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Gimmighoul Coins are not actually used to make any TMs.

Pokémon GO
In Pokémon GO, Gimmighoul Coins are used to evolve Gimmighoul into Gholdengo. Unlike other Evolution items, Gimmighoul Coins do not take up space in the player's Item Bag, and they cannot be discarded.
This item was originally called the ?????? Coin (Japanese: ??????コイン ?????? Coin) prior to February 27, 2023. It first became available on November 5, 2022, immediately following Community Day Classic: Dratini, and a day before Gimmighoul's name was officially revealed.[3]
Effect
A player can evolve a Gimmighoul into Gholdengo if they have at least 999 Gimmighoul Coins in their Item Bag. Candy is not used for this Evolution, making Gimmighoul the only Pokémon in the game that evolves without Candy.
Prior to February 27, 2023, as the ?????? Coin, this item was categorized as a Key Item and served no purpose in-game. Collecting one from a golden PokéStop caused a Roaming Form Gimmighoul to appear in the overworld, but it could not be caught until February 27, 2023.

Acquisition
For the repeatable methods listed, the number of coins received and whether any coins are received at all are random, unless noted otherwise.

Pokémon Café ReMix
In Pokémon Café ReMix, Gimmighoul Coins are an event-exclusive item that can be obtained through Cook and Collect feature. Available since March 01, 2024, the "Collect with Gholdengo" event is active for periods of 4-5 days during which the player has to collect Gimmighoul coins in order to recruit Gholdengo. The coins are obtained by clearing Gimmighoul icons in the eligible puzzles, which at first included One-Minute Cooking and Slow Cooking events, but were later limited to Main Orders, Extra Orders and Master Café Mode starting on September 18, 2025. Clearing Roaming Form icons gives the player 1 coin; clearing Chest Form icons gives 5 coins. Only up to 50 coins can be collected per day. A total of 4,995 coins can be collected to unlock all the rewards from this event, which include Gholdengo, its outfit upgrades and all the Gholdengo cookies needed to unlock all its levels.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series
Gimmighoul Coins first appeared in The Terapagos I Don't Know. One was first discovered by Ludlow, but was snatched from him almost immediately. Later, Roy collected a coin dropped by a Roaming Form Gimmighoul and went on collecting coins after being manipulated by a Chest Form Gimmighoul, who then took the coins and left.
With the addition of the same Chest Form Gimmighoul to the wild Pokémon roster living aboard the Brave Olivine in The Knight in the Ruins and, later, to Dot's team in Riding the Waves, Gimmighoul Coins became a recurring item in the series. In HZ120, after it finally managed to gather 1,000 coins, Dot's Gimmighoul evolved into Gholdengo.
Pokémon: Paldean Winds
A Gimmighoul Coin appeared in Breathe Out, where it was taken away by a Corviknight.
