Get Your Festive Furry Friend: Costume Minccino Arrives in Pokémon GO

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

When is Costumed Minccino Available?

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.

This year's event also features costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms in the wild and Raids.

How to Catch Costumed Minccino:

Unlike previous events, obtaining the costumed Minccino is slightly more challenging. It's available through two methods:

One-Star Raids

Costume Minccino appears in One-Star Raids during Fashion Week. While these are generally soloable, you might need to check several Gyms to find a Minccino raid, as other costumed Pokémon like Shinx and Furfrou also appear in these raids.

Paid Timed Research

Field Research Tasks

While Field Research Tasks offer event-themed Pokémon encounters, Niantic's blog doesn't specify if Minccino is included. It's likely other costumed Pokémon will be featured, making the paid research the more reliable option for obtaining Minccino.

Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:

To get a costumed Cinccino, you'll need to evolve your costumed Minccino. This requires 50 Minccino Candies and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
