How To Get Costume Minccino in Pokemon GO

Authore: IsaacUpdate:Jan 17,2025

The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, bringing a stylish new addition: costumed Minccino and Cinccino! Returning favorites in their fashionable attire will also be available for a limited time.

When is Costumed Minccino Available?

Costumed Minccino and Cinccino debuted during Fashion Week 2025, running from January 10th to 19th, 2025. These Pokémon sport chic rhinestone glasses and adorable bows. While Costumed Minccino can be Shiny, its evolution, Cinccino, cannot.

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

How to Catch Costumed Minccino

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

One-Star Raids

Costumed Minccino will appear in easy-to-solo One-Star Raids. However, you might need a few attempts as other costumed Pokémon, like Shinx and Furfrou, will also be present.

Paid Timed Research

A paid Timed Research ticket ($5 USD or equivalent) offers XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed encounters with Costumed Minccino.

Field Research

While event-themed Pokémon encounters are available through Field Research, Niantic hasn't confirmed if Costumed Minccino will be among them.

How to Get Costumed Cinccino

To obtain Costumed Cinccino, evolve your Costumed Minccino using 50 Minccino Candy and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
