How To Get Costume Minccino in Pokemon GO

The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, featuring returning costumed Pokémon and the debut of costumed Minccino and Cinccino! This stylish duo sports rhinestone glasses and adorable bows.

When is Costumed Minccino Available?

Costumed Minccino and Cinccino appeared during Fashion Week 2025, from January 10th to 19th, 2025. Costumed Minccino has a shiny variant, but its evolved form, Cinccino, does not.

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

How to Catch Costumed Minccino:

Unlike previous events, acquiring costumed Minccino is limited to two methods:

One-Star Raids:

Costumed Minccino appears in easily soloable One-Star Raids. However, One-Star Raids also feature costumed Shinx and Furfrou, requiring some searching to find a Minccino Raid.

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 USD (or local equivalent) ticket grants access to a Timed Research event with XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed encounters with costumed Minccino.

Field Research Tasks:

While Field Research Tasks offer encounters with event Pokémon, Niantic's blog doesn't specify if Minccino is included. Free-to-play players may only encounter other costumed Pokémon.

Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:

To get Cinccino in its fashionable attire, evolve a costumed Minccino using 50 candies and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
