Get Costume Minccino Now in Pokémon GO

Author : Aiden Jan 19,2025

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

When Can You Catch Costumed Minccino?

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 its evolved form, Cinccino, does not.

Along with the new additions, Fashion Week also features costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms in the wild and Raids.

How to Catch Costume Minccino

Unlike previous events, obtaining Costume Minccino is limited to two methods: Raids and a paid research ticket.

One-Star Raids

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

Paid Timed Research

A $5 USD (or equivalent) ticket unlocks a Timed Research with XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed encounters with Costume Minccino. Completing the tasks ensures you'll catch at least one.

Field Research Tasks

While event-themed Pokémon encounters are available through Field Research Tasks, Niantic hasn't specified if Costume Minccino is among them. Free players may only encounter other costumed Pokémon.

Getting Costume Cinccino

To obtain Costume Cinccino, evolve your Costume Minccino using 50 Minccino Candies and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
