Greed pen appears in Pokémon GO. To get it, you have to connect Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch. There are also gold stops and greed specter coins.

What is greed ghost? Greedphant is a monster that made its surprise appearance in Pokémon GO on November 5th, 2022. It started tracking trainers and trying to direct them to golden coins at PokéStops.

This variant of Greedy Specter is called the “Wandering Form”, but the monster has not yet been caught in Pokémon GO.

Greedy Specter is also available in the Pokémon games “Crimson” and “Crimson”, but in the “Chest Form”. There you could already catch it and get the development “Monetigo”.

In Pokémon GO, on the other hand, Greedy Specter has not yet been caught and has not appeared for a long time. That is now changing. Corresponding finds have now been confirmed by the “Pokémon Presents” and an announcement by Pokémon GO on February 27th.

How do you get Greedspecter? To get Greedphant, you have to send postcards to Pokémon Crimson or Crimson – the current Pokémon GO Switch games. By the way, you get new Vivillon patterns in them when you get postcards from Pokémon GO.

Sending a postcard to Pokémon GO is possible once per day. The first time you get the “Coin Bag”. This item then works similarly to the “miracle box” with which you get Meltan. The coin bag will then lure Greedspect to you.

    What do golden PokéStops do in Pokémon GO?

    This is what golden PokéStops are good for: If you just open Pokémon GO, you’ll find gold PokéStops again. You can currently collect greed specter coins at these. However, this function is only available in this form for 24 hours on the occasion of the Gierspenst release.

    After that, you need the “Gold Lure Module” to turn PokéStops into gold PokéStops.

    What are Gold Lure Modules? You get them by sending several postcards to Crimson and Crimson. The Gold Lure Module can then be used on a stop to transform it.

    These stops then bring:

  • More items than normal stops
  • Greedspectre Coins
  • And if you’re lucky, Greedy Specter spawns (this only applies to Gold Stops where the Gold Lure Module was also used.)
  • What are Greedspectre Coins in Pokémon GO?

    These are Greedspectre Coins: You need the Greed Specter Coins to evolve Wanderform Greed Specter into Monetigo. But you need a total of 999 pieces.

    How do I get Greedspecter Coins? You get them:
