Costume Minccino Debuts in Pokémon GO

Author : Christian Feb 22,2025

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 rhinestone glasses and adorable bows. Costume Minccino has a shiny variant, but Costume Cinccino does not.

The event also features returning costumed Pokémon like Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx, along with various Furfrou forms in the wild and Raids.

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, other Pokémon like Shinx and Furfrou also appear in these Raids, so you might need to check multiple Gyms.

  • Paid Timed Research: A $5 USD (or equivalent) ticket grants access to a Timed Research with XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed Costume Minccino encounters.

Field Research Tasks offer event-themed Pokémon encounters, but it's uncertain if Costume Minccino will be included.

Obtaining Costume Cinccino:

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

Pokémon GO is available now.
