Get Costume Minccino Now in Pokémon GO!

Authore: NoraUpdate:Jan 20,2025

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 dazzling rhinestone glasses and adorable bows. While Costume Minccino can be Shiny, its evolved form, Costume Cinccino, cannot.

This year's event also features returning costumed Pokémon like Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx. Furfrou, with its various forms, will also appear in the wild and Raids.

How to Catch Costume Minccino:

Unlike previous events, obtaining Costume Minccino is slightly more challenging. It's available through two methods:

One-Star Raids

Costume Minccino appears in One-Star Raids, easily soloable for most players. However, One-Star Raids also feature Costume Shinx and Furfrou, so you might need to check multiple Gyms.

Paid Timed Research

A $5 USD (or equivalent) Paid Timed Research ticket offers XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed Costume Minccino encounters. Completing the research tasks will secure at least one.

Field Research Tasks

While Field Research Tasks offer encounters with event Pokémon, Niantic hasn't specified if Costume Minccino will be among them. Free-to-play players may only encounter other costumed Pokémon.

Obtaining Costume Cinccino:

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

Pokémon GO is available now.
