Summary

  • Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Gholdengo holds reference to main games like Scarlet and Violet.
  • A secret mission called Gimmighoul Collection requires TCG Pocket players to gather 99 copies of Gimmighoul to unlock a Gholdengo emblem.
  • The secret Gholdengo Emblem is a prestigious cosmetic item.

Enthusiasts have noted that the Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Gholdengo from the latest mini-set carries a clever link to the primary Pokémon games. Gholdengo, along with its base form, Gimmighoul, were recently debuted in the Pokémon TCG Pocket through the Shining Revelry expansion. And sharp-eyed fans have already picked up on their ties to other Pokémon versions.

On previous occasions, the game has demonstrated its appreciation for its predecessors, and long-time fans are familiar with the numerous references to earlier versions like TCG Pocket. For instance, the game incorporates famous locations in the background of Supporter cards, such as Sabrina’s and Giovanni’s cards that allude to Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen. Now, a new reference has been added featuring two popular Pokemon: Gimmighoul and Gholdengo.

In the special mission called “Gimmighoul Collection” for Pokemon TCG Pocket players, you need to collect 99 instances of Gimmighoul cards to unlock a Gholdengo emblem. This parallels the way Gimmighoul evolves into Gholdengo in the main games, where you accumulate 999 coins. As per Pokemon lore, Gholdengo’s body is composed of 1000 Gimmighoul Coins, making this the basis for its evolution process. Given that the evolution mechanics in Pokemon TCG Pocket are different from the main games, the developers have paid tribute to this by designing a Themed Collection that offers an equally challenging experience.

TCG Pocket Has a Gimmighoul Coin Reference

An intriguing aspect of the covert mission involving Gimmighoul-Gholdengo is that it might span multiple months. By doing some math, it’s clear that gamers will need to open more than 630 packs to amass 99 common Gimmighoul cards, given a drop rate of about 3.125%. Yet, fans appear undeterred by this task, as they have already brainstormed a plan to tackle it. As mentioned on the game’s Reddit forum by several users, players are expected to be able to finish this mission through persistent trading of Gimmighoul cards. However, before putting this strategy into action, they must wait for the Shining Revelry cards to appear in TCG Pocket‘s Trading section to verify if their theory holds true.

The mysterious insignia associated with the card game’s Gholdengo, found only in ‘TCG Pocket’, serves no functional purpose beyond potentially antagonizing opponents. Regardless, numerous players are eager to collect it through persistent play, as such scarce items symbolize prestige. These emblems can be showcased on a player’s profile and exhibited before Player vs Player matches. The game creators seem to acknowledge the allure of secret emblems among the gaming community, as they have incorporated at least one concealed emblem in each themed collection of every expansion.
