In Pokémon GO, there is now a new free box in the shop. What does the new Gold Box bring with its Gierspenst coins?
This is the box: If you visit the shop of Pokémon GO now, you will find a new, free box there. The “Gold Box” can now be picked up once.
However, the box does not contain the typical items like balls or similar, but “Gierspenst” coins. Nine pieces are included.
If you have picked up the box, the nine coins will be added to those in your bag that you have already collected. As of now, another Gold Box is not available if you have picked up the first one.
What are Gierspenst coins good for?
What are Gierspenst coins? The Gierspenst coins were recently called “?????? coins” and could be collected for the first time when the Pokémon Gierspenst suddenly appeared in the game in 2022.
However, it was not catchable, but simply ran around the map next to your avatar. Gierspenst could lead you to golden PokéStops, where you could collect such “?????? coins”.
The mystery of what that actually was was clarified pretty quickly. Gierspenst was a new monster in Scarlet & Violet. In the Switch games, you can catch it in the “Chest form”, in Pokémon GO it will come in the “Wandering form”.
What do Gierspenst coins bring? As officially confirmed in the “Pokémon Presents” on February 27, 2022, a total of 999 of these coins are needed to evolve Gierspenst into “Monetigo”.
How to get Gierspenst? As confirmed by the “Pokémon Presents” on February 27, 2022, Gierspenst will be made available through a crossover with the Scarlet and Violet games. You have to send postcards to Scarlet & Violet to make it spawn. How exactly this could work, has already been hinted at by leaks from Pokeminers.
The connection between “GO” and “Scarlet & Violet” is supposed to take place shortly after the presentation, according to Presents. It is very likely that a release of Gierspenst in Pokémon GO is imminent now.
