How To Get Costume Minccino in Pokemon GO

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 debuts, obtaining costumed Minccino is limited to Raids and a paid research ticket.

One-Star Raids:

Costumed Minccino appears in One-Star Raids, easily soloable. However, Shinx and Furfrou also appear in these raids, requiring some searching.

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 USD (or 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 Tasks:

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

Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:

Evolve your costumed Minccino using 50 candies and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
