Pokémon GO: Unveiling the Secret to Acquiring Costume Minccino

The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, featuring returning costumed Pokémon and the debut of a new one: costumed Minccino and Cinccino.

Costume Minccino Release Date and Shiny Availability:

Costume Minccino and Cinccino debuted during Fashion Week 2025, running from January 10th to 19th, 2025. Costume Minccino has a shiny variant available, while Costume Cinccino does not.

The event also includes costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms in the wild and Raids.

How to Obtain Costume Minccino:

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

One-Star Raids:

Costume Minccino will appear in One-Star Raids during the event. These are generally soloable, but you may need to check multiple Gyms as other costumed Pokémon (Shinx and Furfrou) also appear in these raids.

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 USD (or equivalent) Paid Timed Research ticket offers guaranteed encounters 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's blog doesn't specify if Costume Minccino is included. It's likely to be limited to the paid research.

How to Obtain Costume Cinccino:

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

Pokémon GO is available now.
