The Golden Lure Module in Pokemon GO attained by linking Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

In Pokémon GO, Golden Lure Modules are rare and highly valuable, attracting specific creatures and offering extra rewards. Unlike other Lure Modules, the Golden Lure focuses on attracting a unique Pokémon, Roaming Form Gimmighoul, while also providing Gimmighoul Coins. Here’s how to get and use Golden Lure Modules in Pokémon GO.

Regular Lures are quite easy to obtain. They are available in the Shop and can be gained from Research tasks or leveling up. However, Golden Lure Modules are harder to get. To obtain a one, you need to connect your Pokémon GO app with Pokémon Scarlet or Violet. After linking the two games, you must send postcards from Pokémon GO to your copy of Scarlet or Violet. Players will receive a Golden Lure Module for every five postcards sent to either game.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet in-game menu to connect to a Pokémon GO account

It is quite fairly to link Pokémon GO to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet for Golden Lure Modules. The steps to link both games are as follows:

  1. Launch Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, on your Nintendo Switch.
  2. Open the in-game “X” menu and select “Pokémon Portal.”
  3. Choose “Mystery Gift” and then “Connect to Pokémon GO”
  4. If it’s your first time linking, select Pair with a Pokémon GO account.
  5. The game will then search for your Pokémon GO account. Afterwards, it will display your Trainer Name, then select “Yes” when prompted.
  6. Open Pokémon GO, and go to the settings menu.
  7. Scroll down to the “Nintendo Switch” option, and select Connect to Nintendo Switch.
  8. Once paired, confirm the connection on your Switch by selecting Yes.

The PostCard Book in Pokémon used to attain Golden Lure Module

Now that you have done linking your Pokémon GO to Nintendo Switch, you can send Postcard to yourself. The steps to send Postcard are as follows:

  1. Open your Pokémon GO app.
  2. Tap your profile, and open the Postcard Book.
  3. Select any Postcard you have pinned (these are sent from friends).
  4. Tap the three-bar icon and select Send to Nintendo Switch
  5. Confirm by tapping Send, followed by Yes, and OK option.

How to use a Golden Lure Module?

Once you have a Golden Lure Module, using it is similar to activating any other Lure Module. However, you can only carry one Golden Lure Module at a time. If you already have one, you cannot collect more, but can choose to collect Mystery Coins instead. The steps to use a Golden Lure Module are as follows:

  1. Select a Pokéstop in your area.
  2. Tap on the PokéStop and open the Lure option.
  3. Choose the Golden Lure Module from your inventory.
  4. The lure is then activated, and will remain activated for 30 minutes. A great feature is that you can spin the Photo Disc every minutes for rewards.

The main purpose of the Golden Lure Module is to attract Roaming Form Gimmighoul to the PokeStop, allowing players to catch this elusive Pokémon. Additionally, spinning the Golden PokeStop provides extra items, including between 5 to 25 Gimmighoul Coins. These coins are essential for evolving Roaming Form Gimmighoul into Gholdengo.
