Costume Minccino Available in Pokémon GO

by Connor Feb 12,2025

Pokémon GO’s 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 in Pokémon GO?

The fashionable Minccino and Cinccino, sporting rhinestone glasses and bows, debuted during Fashion Week 2025, running from January 10th to 19th, 2025. Shiny Costume Minccino was available, but a Shiny Costume Cinccino was not.

The event also featured costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms in the wild and Raids.

How to Obtain Costume Minccino in Pokémon GO

Unlike previous events, obtaining the costumed Minccino is limited:

One-Star Raids

Costume Minccino appeared in One-Star Raids during the event. These are generally soloable, but you might need to check several Gyms to find a Minccino Raid, as other Pokémon like Shinx and Furfrou also appeared in One-Star Raids.

Paid Timed Research

A $5 USD (or equivalent) Paid Timed Research ticket offered guaranteed encounters with Costume Minccino, alongside XP, Stardust, and a new avatar pose.

Field Research Tasks

While event-themed Pokémon encounters were available through Field Research Tasks, Niantic's blog didn't specify if Minccino was among them. Free players might have had to rely on luck with other event Pokémon.

How to Get Costume Cinccino in Pokémon GO

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

Pokémon GO is available now.
