Roaming Form

Since its Roaming Form is said to not be catchable and the official site omits its Pokedex data I think it's type, size or ability shouldn't be displayed. This appears to be another case of Zygarde Core or Rotom Phone where it's a Pokemon form that doesn't battle.--Rocket Grunt 20:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

you can catch Roaming Form Gimmighoul in GO, by linking your GO account to SV, once the appropriate update is live (source). its dex data are all hidden because currently it hasn't actually been catchable in GO yet. Anzasquiddles (talk) 00:30, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Type Effectiveness

On its page, Gimmighoul is listed as being immune to ground-type moves, despite being a pure ghost-type and not having any abilities that affect immunities. Is this an error? I'd rather not edit it myself and be wrong if it's correct somehow. Beaniebabs (talk) 06:06, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Potential trivia about forms

Should it be noted that Gimmighoul is the only Pokemon with multiple forms that have no bearing on the Pokemon/form of the Pokemon they evolve into? Pokemega32 (talk) 20:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Sure.--Rocket Grunt 22:00, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Finite Chest Form Gimmighoul

I found a post on reddit a while back that stated that there is only a finite amount of Chest Form Gimmighoul- once you catch all of them, you must release one for another to spawn. I don't think they checked it evolution, trading or depositing into Home had any effect on this, but it is still a very interesting note that we should consider adding.

Here is the post for those curious. www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/18vi7pc/solved_gimmighoul_chests_not_respawning_it_is_not ButSmeargleCan'tUseTheMove (talk) 08:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
