Get ready for a fashionable frenzy! The *Pokémon GO* Fashion Week event is back, bringing with it a stylish new addition: costumed Minccino and Cinccino! These adorable Pokémon sport chic rhinestone glasses and adorable bows, ready to strut their stuff on your team.
When Does Costume Minccino Arrive in *Pokémon GO*?
The runway opens for Costume Minccino (and Cinccino) during Fashion Week 2025, running from January 10th to 19th, 2025. Keep an eye out for their shiny debut—Costume Minccino can be found in its shiny form, but unfortunately, its evolved form, Costume Cinccino, will not be shiny.
This year's Fashion Week isn't just about Minccino; returning favorites like costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx also make an appearance. And don't forget Furfrou, the Pokémon with many forms, who will be showing off their stylish cuts in the wild and in raids.
How to Catch Costume Minccino in *Pokémon GO*
Unlike previous debuts, snagging a costumed Minccino requires a bit more effort. This time, it's primarily available through raids and paid research.
One-Star Raids
Costume Minccino will be appearing in One-Star Raids throughout the event. These are generally easy to solo, so grab a friend and head to a nearby Gym! Remember, Costume Shinx and Furfrou will also be in One-Star Raids, so you might need a few attempts to find a Minccino raid.
Paid Timed Research
A paid Timed Research ticket ($5 USD or equivalent) offers another route to obtaining Costume Minccino. This ticket includes XP, Stardust, a new avatar pose, and guaranteed encounters with event Pokémon, including the stylish Minccino.
Field Research Tasks
While Field Research Tasks will offer encounters with event Pokémon, the specific Pokémon included aren't confirmed. It's possible Minccino could appear, but don't count on it.
How to Get Costume Cinccino in *Pokémon GO*
Want the complete set? Evolve your costumed Minccino! You'll need 50 Minccino Candies and a Unova Stone to complete the transformation.
So there you have it! Get ready to add these fashionable Pokémon to your collection. Good luck, trainers!
*Pokémon GO* is available now.
