Introducing Costume Minccino in Pokémon GO

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

When to 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 Costume Cinccino does not. The event also includes costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms.

How to Acquire Costume Minccino:

Unfortunately, obtaining Costume Minccino isn't straightforward. It's available through two methods:

One-Star Raids:

Costume Minccino appears in One-Star Raids, generally soloable. However, One-Star Raids also feature Costume Shinx and Furfrou, requiring some searching to find a Minccino raid.

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 USD (or equivalent) Paid Timed Research ticket guarantees an encounter with Costume Minccino, along with XP, Stardust, and a new avatar pose.

Field Research Tasks:

While Field Research Tasks offer encounters with event Pokémon, Niantic hasn't specified if Costume Minccino is included. It's likely to be less reliable than the other methods.

Obtaining Costume Cinccino:

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

Pokémon GO is available now.
