How To Get Costume Minccino in Pokemon GO

Author : Ellie Jan 29,2025

The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, featuring returning costumed Pokémon and a new addition: 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, and Shinx. Furfrou, in its various forms, will also appear in the wild and Raids.

How to Catch Costumed Minccino

Unfortunately, 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) Paid Timed Research ticket offers XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed encounters with costumed Minccino.

Field Research Tasks

While event-themed Pokémon encounters are available through Field Research, Niantic's blog doesn't specify if Minccino is included. Free players may only encounter other costumed Pokémon.

Obtaining Costumed Cinccino

To get a costumed Cinccino, evolve your costumed Minccino using 50 candies and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
