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, but its evolution, Cinccino, does not.
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 events, obtaining costumed Minccino is limited:
One-Star Raids:
Costumed Minccino appears in One-Star Raids. These are generally soloable, but you might need to check several Gyms as other Pokémon, like Shinx and Furfrou, also appear in these raids.
Paid Timed Research:
A $5 USD (or equivalent) ticket grants access to a Timed Research with XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and encounters featuring costumed Minccino. Completing the research guarantees at least one.
Field Research Tasks:
While event-themed Pokémon encounters are available through Field Research, Niantic's blog doesn't specify if Minccino is included. Free players may only encounter other costumed Pokémon.
Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:
To get Cinccino, evolve your costumed Minccino using 50 candies and a Unova Stone.
Pokémon GO is available now.
