Overview
Gimmighoul is a Ghost-type Pokemon with the exclusive Collect specialty in Pokemon Pokopia. It appears in its Chest Form, living inside a red treasure chest in the abandoned museum in Rocky Ridges. Gimmighoul exchanges Lost Relics, Rainbow Feathers, and Silver Feathers for unique furniture items, making it the primary way to convert collectibles into decorations.
How to Find Gimmighoul
Gimmighoul is located in the abandoned museum in Rocky Ridges:
Reach Rocky Ridges (the third story region).
Face the Pokemon Center and look to the right. There is a pile of Volcanic Ash blocks.
Break through the Volcanic Ash blocks using Rock Smash.
Follow the path into the hidden museum area.
Find the red treasure chest sitting on a podium.
Interact with it. Gimmighoul pops out and introduces itself.
Collect Specialty
Gimmighoul has the Collect specialty, shared only with Gholdengo. The Collect specialty enables these Pokemon to accept specific collectible items and exchange them for rare furniture. Gimmighoul is available from Rocky Ridges onward, making it the first Collect-specialty Pokemon most players encounter.
What You Can Trade
After completing Gimmighoul's initial request ("Show Off a Rainbow Feather"), you can trade the following items:
Item | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Small Lost Relic (appraised) | Random furniture item | Must be appraised by Professor Tangrowth first |
Large Lost Relic (appraised) | Rare furniture item | Must be appraised by Professor Tangrowth first |
Rainbow Feather | Random furniture item | |
Silver Feather | Random furniture item | Found after Lugia appears; use Cut to dispel wind before pickup |
Important: Lost Relics must be appraised by Professor Tangrowth before Gimmighoul will accept them. Unappraised relics are rejected.
Reward Pool
All Gimmighoul trade rewards are completely random regardless of which item you offer. Trading a Rainbow Feather, a Silver Feather, or an appraised Lost Relic all draw from the same pool of possible furniture. The reward is always a single random furniture item. There is no way to target a specific piece; you simply keep trading until the item you want appears. You can trade as many times as you want in a single visit, provided you have enough items to offer.
The reward pool includes furniture from several style categories:
Category | Example Items |
|---|---|
Gamer | Pop Art Table, Pop Art Sofa, Gaming Bed, Gaming Fridge |
Luxury | Luxury furniture, dressers, storage chests |
Antique | Antique chairs, tables, closets, lighting fixtures |
Cute | Berry Wall Decoration, Berry Table Lamp, berry clocks |
Poke Ball | Poke Ball-themed furniture and decorations |
Music | Music Mats (eight notes from low Do through high Do) |
Materials | Strange Strings and other rare crafting materials |
Environmental | Heat Rock, Icy Rock, Smooth Rock, Damp Rock |
Many of these items are exclusive to Gimmighoul trades and the PC Shop daily rotation. They cannot be found in the overworld or crafted, making Gimmighoul the most reliable source for completing furniture sets and habitat requirements that call for specific decoration styles.
Mini Museum Habitat
Build the Mini Museum habitat to give Gimmighoul a permanent home:
Material | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Post (any) | 3 | Wooden or stone posts |
Pedestal / Exhibition Stand | 1 | Craft at Workbench |
Large Lost Relic | 1 | Find in Glowing Blocks and appraise with Tangrowth |
The Large Lost Relic requirement makes this habitat one of the trickier ones to complete, since Large Relics are rarer drops from Glowing Blocks.
Trading Strategy
Gimmighoul's trades are the primary method for converting exploration rewards into decorative furniture. Since rewards are random, the best approach is to trade in bulk and keep surplus feathers after reserving five Rainbow Feathers for the Clear Bell and five Silver Feathers for the Tidal Bell. Once both bells are crafted, every additional feather should go directly to Gimmighoul since feathers have no other uses. To maximize your returns:
Feed Mosslax Dry food daily to increase Rainbow and Silver Feather drop rates.
Feed Mosslax Sweet food when relic hunting to boost Ancient Artifact finds in Glowing Blocks.
Use a Search-specialty Pokemon (Pidgey, Paras, Venonat) as your follower to locate hidden Glowing Blocks more efficiently.
Appraise every relic as soon as you find it. Professor Tangrowth can appraise from anywhere if set as a follower.
Visit Dream Islands for additional Glowing Block spawns and relic opportunities.
Save up items and trade in bulk during a single visit. There is no daily limit on trades, so bringing 10 or more items at once gives you the best chance of landing specific furniture pieces.
Prioritize feathers over relics when possible. Feathers have almost no other use once the bells are crafted, while Lost Relics can also be displayed as decorations or used for the Pewter City Museum collection.

Tips
Break through the Volcanic Ash blocks near the Rocky Ridges Pokemon Center as soon as you arrive. Gimmighoul is easy to miss if you do not explore the side paths.
Stockpile appraised relics before visiting Gimmighoul. Batch trading is more efficient than making individual trips.
Rainbow and Silver Feathers are also needed to craft the Clear Bell (for Ho-Oh) and Tidal Bell (for Lugia). Balance your feather spending between Gimmighoul trades and bell crafting.
The furniture you receive from trades is completely random regardless of which item you offer. There is no difference in outcome between trading a Rainbow Feather, a Silver Feather, or a Lost Relic. Keep trading for a chance at rare pieces like the Pop Art Table, Gaming Bed, or Music Mats.
Environmental rocks (Heat Rock, Icy Rock, Smooth Rock, Damp Rock) from Gimmighoul trades are needed for certain habitats. If you need a specific rock type, Gimmighoul is one of the few sources.
Strange Strings, a rare crafting material, can also drop from Gimmighoul trades. These are used in several late-game recipes and are difficult to find elsewhere.
