Get Your Paws on Chillingly Chic Minccino in Pokémon GO!

Author: Isaac Feb 08,2025

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

Costume Minccino Release Date in Pokémon GO:

The stylish 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. Other costumed Pokémon returning for the event included Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx. Furfrou, in its various forms, also made appearances in the wild and Raids.

How to Catch Costume Minccino in Pokémon GO:

Unlike previous events, obtaining Costume Minccino is limited to two methods:

One-Star Raids:

Costume Minccino appeared in One-Star Raids during Fashion Week. These are generally soloable, but you might need to check several Gyms as Costume Shinx and Furfrou also appeared in One-Star Raids.

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 USD (or equivalent) Paid Timed Research ticket offered guaranteed encounters with Costume Minccino, alongside XP, Stardust, and a new avatar pose.

Field Research Tasks:

While Field Research Tasks offered encounters with event Pokémon, Niantic's blog didn't specify if Costume Minccino was included. It's likely other costumed Pokémon were offered instead.

How to Get Costume Cinccino in Pokémon GO:

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