Get Your Hands on Exclusive Costume Minccino in Pokémon GO

Author:Kristen Update:Feb 11,2025

The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, featuring returning costumed Pokémon and the debut of costumed Minccino and Cinccino!

When is Costumed Minccino Available?

Costumed Minccino and Cinccino debuted during Fashion Week 2025, running from January 10th to 19th, 2025. These stylish Pokémon sport rhinestone glasses and adorable bows. Costumed Minccino has a shiny variant, but its evolved form, Cinccino, does not.

The event also brings back costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms in the wild and Raids.

How to Catch Costumed Minccino:

Unlike previous events, obtaining Costumed Minccino is limited to two methods:

One-Star Raids:

Costumed Minccino appears in One-Star Raids, easily soloable. However, One-Star Raids also feature Costumed Shinx and Furfrou, requiring some searching to find a Minccino Raid.

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 USD (or equivalent) ticket grants access to a Timed Research with XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and encounters including Costumed Minccino. Completing the tasks guarantees at least one.

Field Research Tasks:

While Field Research Tasks offer event-themed Pokémon encounters, Niantic's blog doesn't specify if Costumed Minccino is included. It's likely to be less common than the Raid and paid options.

How to Get Costumed Cinccino:

Evolve your Costumed Minccino using 50 Minccino Candy and a Unova Stone.
