() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

===Physiology===
Gimmighoul is a small humanoid Pokémon with a light grey body, stubby arms and legs, and two black stripes going around its waist. It has a pair of yellow circular eyes that are surrounded by black markings in the shape of eyeglasses. It also has two antennae and a tail which resemble metal rods.
In its Roaming form, Gimmighoul typically carries a single yellow coin on its back using its tail. While in its Chest form, Gimmighoul inhabits a red coin-filled chest with gold accents, a black latch, and a silver lock containing a small design.
Shiny Gimmighoul are have a slightly lighter hue than the seal on their chest.
===Special abilities===
Gimmighoul is able to take control of both humans and Pokémon by using its ghostly energy. Gimmighoul mostly use this ability to obtain coins that its victims manage to collect for it.
===Behavior===
Gimmighoul is usually seen hiding in a treasure chest, using it to protect itself and accumulate its coins. However, a huge drawback of using the chest is the hinderance of movement; Gimmighoul cannot move very quickly as a result of this. People often mistaken Gimmighoul for a piece of antique furniture or treasure. Gimmighoul usually take refuge in various buildings, such as warehouses and shops. In the wild, these chests can usually be found in watchtowers and ruins scattered across Paldea. 
Other Gimmighoul who have not acquired a treasure chest are known to loiter around various areas, making various sounds that an alert Trainer can use to find them. If discovered, the Gimmighoul quickly flees, dropping its coin.
Gimmighoul hates thieves and it's also known to drain the life out of anyone who attempts to steal its treasure. 
==Evolution==
Gimmighoul evolves into Gholdengo after leveling up with 999 Gimmighoul Coins in the player's inventory.

===Origin===
Gimmighoul's Chest form seems to be based on a Mimic, a monster from Dungeons & Dragons and several role-playing games, as both they and Gimmighouls imitate the appearance of a treasure chest. Its antennae resemble metal dousing rods, which are notable for the pseudoscientific belief that they help find buried ores or treasure. Its association with the number 999 may be due to 999 fine gold, which ties into its evolution's golden motif.
===Etymology===
Gimmighoul's name might be a combination of "gimme" (an informal form of "give me"), "gimmick" and "ghoul".
