Catch Limited-Edition Costume Minccino in 'Pokémon 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, 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, easily soloable. However, One-Star Raids also feature costumed Shinx and Furfrou, requiring some searching to find a Minccino Raid.

Paid Timed Research:

A $5 (or regional equivalent) ticket grants access to a Timed Research with XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and encounters including costumed Minccino. This is a guaranteed method to obtain one.

Field Research Tasks:

While Field Research Tasks offer event-themed Pokémon encounters, Niantic hasn't specified if costumed Minccino will be included. Free-to-play players may need to rely on Raids.

Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:

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

Pokémon GO is available now.
