Mysterious new Gold PokeStops are appearing in Pokemon GO, but what are the new golden variants and what do they do?
If you’re logging into Pokemon GO today, you might notice something rather different about the nearby PokeStops. While some look the same as ever, others are a strange new golden color, something we’ve never seen before.
What’s more, there’s a mysterious new creature showing its face in-game.
What Do Golden PokeStops Do in Pokemon GO?
Gold PokeStops function similarly to regular PokeStops in Pokemon GO, but each one will also give players a mysterious coin when spun.
The ‘?????? Coin’ will attract the attention of a new Coin Pokemon that will begin to follow the player around on their journey.
Here’s everything we know about the new Coin Pokemon and how to catch it in Pokemon GO!
How to Use Gold PokeStops
To use a Golden PokeStop, simply:
- Approach the PokeStop’s real-world location
- When close, tap the Golden PokeStop
- Spin the disk by flicking your finger to the left or right, from the center.
- You will then receive an assortment of items, including a ?????? Coin
What Does ?????? Coin Do in Pokemon GO?
Right now, the ?????? Coin appears to simply attract the attention of the new Coin Pokemon, which will begin following the player as they collect them.
Its description reads: “A coin with a mysterious air. It seems to have originated in the Paldea region.”
It’s likely that the coins will be used as part of an upcoming set of challenges. Or perhaps a certain number will need to be collected in order to get a chance at catching the new Coin Pokemon.
We’ll update this article as Pokemon GO officially reveals further details.
