Get Your Hands on the Exclusive Costume Minccino in Pokémon GO

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

When to Catch Costumed Minccino?

The Fashion Week 2025 event, featuring costumed Minccino and Cinccino (sporting rhinestone glasses and bows!), ran 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, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms.

How to Acquire Costumed Minccino:

Unlike previous events, obtaining the fashionable Minccino was limited. Players could find it in two ways:

One-Star Raids:

Costume Minccino appeared in One-Star Raids during the event. While generally easy to solo, players might need to check several Gyms to locate a Minccino raid, as other costumed Pokémon (Shinx and Furfrou) also appeared in these 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 event-themed Pokémon encounters were available via Field Research Tasks, Niantic's blog didn't specify which Pokémon were included, leaving the possibility of Minccino open but uncertain. Many players suspected it would be exclusive to the paid research.

Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:

To get a costumed Cinccino, players needed to evolve a costumed Minccino using 50 Minccino Candy and a Unova Stone.

Pokémon GO is available now.
