Guide to Obtaining and Utilizing Golden Lure Modules in Pokémon Go

Among all the Lure Modules available in Pokémon Go, the Golden Lure Module is exceptional as it attracts some of the most coveted Pokémon. Here’s how you can obtain the rare Golden Lure in Niantic’s hit mobile game.

Pokémon Go features six distinct types of Lure Modules for players to utilize. Regular Lure Modules enhance wild creature spawns, while specialized ones like Glacial, Mossy, Magnetic, and Rainy are designed to help players evolve specific Pokémon based on their typing.

In contrast, the unique Golden Lure Module is aimed at assisting players in catching a rare and elusive Pokémon that is typically attracted to shiny objects, while also granting extra items. However, there’s a specific process players must follow to obtain the Golden Lure Module in-game.

How to Obtain Golden Lure Modules

Players interested in utilizing Golden Lure Modules must first link their mobile app with their copy of Pokémon Scarlet or Violet.

Once this pairing is completed, players need to send postcards to the Gen IX titles to secure them. Specifically, Pokémon Go players will receive one Golden Lure Module for every five postcards sent to Scarlet & Violet.

Linking Pokémon Go to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Follow these steps to connect your mobile game with the newest Generation 9 titles:

Launch Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.
Open the ‘X’ menu and select ‘Pokémon Portal’.
Select ‘Mystery Gift’.
Select ‘Connect to Pokémon GO’.
Choose ‘Pair with a Pokémon Go account’ if you haven’t done so already (this can be done once daily).
- Launch Pokémon Go.
- Go to settings.
- Scroll down to ‘Nintendo Switch’.
- Select ‘Connect to Nintendo Switch’.
- Select ‘Yes’ on your Nintendo Switch screen once paired.

Steps to Send Postcards in Pokémon Go

Sending postcards in Pokémon Go is a straightforward process:

Open Pokémon Go.
Tap on your profile icon.
Go to your ‘Postcard Book’.
Select any postcard (this works only if you have pinned postcards received from a friend).
Tap the icon with three bars and select ‘Sent to Nintendo Switch’.
Tap ‘Send’, ‘Yes’, then ‘Ok’.

How to Activate a Golden Lure Module

Players who have acquired a Golden Lure Module can activate it by selecting the module from the ‘lure’ option of a PokeStop.

Like any standard or special Lure Module, spinning the Photo Disc can be done every five minutes, and the complete effect of the Lure lasts for 30 minutes, so timing your activation is key.

Uses of Golden Lure Modules

A Golden Lure Module is a special type of Lure Module that can transform a regular PokeStop into a Gold PokeStop.

The primary function of the Golden Lure Module is to attract Roaming Form Gimmighoul to the PokeStop, enabling players to catch it. Moreover, spinning the Golden PokeStop yields extra items along with a chance to earn between five to 25 Gimmighoul Coins per Photo Disc spin.

Keep in mind that Gimmighoul Coins are essential for evolving Roaming Form Gimmighoul into Gholdengo.
