Costumed Minccino Joins the Party in Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO Fashion Week returns, bringing back beloved costumed Pokémon and introducing the stylish new additions: Minccino and Cinccino in their fashionable attire!

Costume Minccino Debut in Pokémon GO

The fashionable Minccino and Cinccino, sporting dazzling rhinestone glasses and charming bows, debuted during Fashion Week 2025, gracing the game from January 10th to 19th, 2025. A noteworthy detail: Costume Minccino has a shiny variant, while Costume Cinccino does not.

This year's event also features returning costumed Pokémon, including Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx. The multifaceted Furfrou will also make appearances in the wild and Raids.

Catching Costume Minccino

Unlike previous years, obtaining Costume Minccino requires a bit more effort. It's available through two methods:

One-Star Raids

Costume Minccino appears in One-Star Raids during the Fashion Week event. These raids are generally soloable, making it accessible to most players. However, One-Star Raids also feature Costume Shinx and Furfrou, so you might need to try several Gyms to find a Minccino Raid.

Paid Timed Research

Field Research Tasks

While Field Research Tasks offer encounters with event Pokémon, Niantic's blog doesn't specify which Pokémon are included. While a Costume Minccino encounter is possible, it's less certain than the Raid or paid research methods.

Obtaining Costume Cinccino

To acquire a Costume Cinccino, you'll need to evolve your Costume Minccino. This requires 50 Minccino Candies and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
