Pokémon Go Lures, From Rainy Lure, Glacial Lure, Mossy Lure To ...

You can get Golden Lures in Pokémon Go by pairing your game with a copy of Pokémon Scarlet/Violet on the Nintendo Switch.

And unlike the rest of the Lures in Pokémon Go, you can only hold one at a time and there's no guaranteed to get one in the first place.

To do this, you obviously first need a Nintendo Switch and a copy of either Pokémon Violet or Pokémon Scarlet, along with a Postcard in your Postcard Book in Pokémon Go.

First you need to pair your two devices. To do this, open Scarlet/Violet on your Nintendo Switch. In game, press the X Button to access the in-game menu, then select Poké Portal. Next, select 'Mystery Gift', followed by 'Connect to Pokémon GO' and then 'Pair with a Pokémon GO account'.

Your game will then search for a Pokémon GO account. Now, in Pokémon Go, click the Pokéball menu and then click Settings at the top right of the screen. Scroll down to Connected Devices and Services, and wait for the two devices to recognise each other. Once your Switch flashes up your Pokémon Go Trainer Name, select 'Yes' to complete pairing.

This only needs to be done once. Everything below can be done once per day.

In Pokémon Scarlet/Violet

Press the X Button to access the in-game menu, then select Poké Portal, Mystery Gift, Connect to Pokémon GO.

Once you've sent the Postcard from Pokémon Go, you will see an animation of you receiving a sparkly golden gift!

In Pokémon Go

Navigate to your Item Bag and scroll down to the Postcard Book in the Gifts section of your inventory. Click it and select a Postcard that you have pinned but haven’t sent to Scarlet or Violet. Click the hamburger menu in the bottom right corner and then click Send to Nintendo Switch.

All this will nab you the item Coin Bag. Fittingly, this works as an Incense – the mobile equivalent of the stationary Lure – and spawns Gimmighoul at your location for 30 minutes as you walk around in the real world. Do this for five days straight and you should get a Golden Lure.

And remember, you can only have one Golden Lure at a time, so don’t forget to use it!
