Catch the Elusive Costumed Minccino in Pokémon GO!

By AnthonyFeb 02,2025

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

When is Costumed Minccino Available?

Costumed Minccino and Cinccino debuted during Fashion Week 2025, running from January 10th to 19th, 2025. These stylish Pokémon sport rhinestone glasses and adorable bows. Costumed Minccino has a shiny variant, unlike its evolved form, Cinccino. The 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 releases, obtaining costumed Minccino is limited to two methods:

One-Star Raids:

Costumed Minccino appears in One-Star Raids, easily soloable. 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 regional equivalent) ticket offers XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed encounters with costumed Minccino. Completing the tasks ensures at least one capture.

Field Research:

While event-themed Pokémon encounters are available through Field Research Tasks, Niantic's blog doesn't specify which Pokémon are included. Free-to-play players may not find costumed Minccino here.

Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:

Evolve a costumed Minccino using 50 Minccino Candy and a Unova Stone.
