Costumed Minccino Debuts in Pokémon GO

The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, bringing returning costumed Pokémon and a new addition: Minccino and Cinccino in stylish outfits!

When is Costume Minccino Available?

Costume Minccino and Cinccino debuted during Fashion Week 2025, running from January 10th to 19th, 2025. These fashionable Pokémon sport rhinestone glasses and adorable bows. Costume Minccino has a Shiny variant, unlike Costume Cinccino. The event also features costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms.

How to Catch Costume Minccino:

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

One-Star Raids:

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

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 USD (or regional equivalent) ticket grants access to a Timed Research event with XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and encounters featuring Costume Minccino. This is a guaranteed method to obtain one.

Field Research Tasks:

While Field Research Tasks offer event-themed Pokémon encounters, Niantic hasn't specified if Costume Minccino will be included. It's possible, but not guaranteed.

Obtaining Costume Cinccino:

To get Costume Cinccino, evolve your Costume Minccino using 50 Minccino Candy and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
