The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, bringing returning costumed Pokémon and a stylish newcomer: Minccino and Cinccino in fashionable attire!
When Can You Catch Costumed Minccino?
The Fashion Week 2025 event, featuring costumed Minccino and Cinccino, ran from January 10th to 19th, 2025. These Pokémon sported chic rhinestone glasses and adorable bows. Shiny Costume Minccino was available, but a Shiny Costume Cinccino was not. The event also included costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, Shinx, and various Furfrou forms.
How to Acquire Costumed Minccino:
Unlike previous events, obtaining the fashionable Minccino was limited. It appeared in two ways:
One-Star Raids:
Costume Minccino appeared in easily soloable One-Star Raids. However, One-Star Raids also featured Costume Shinx and Furfrou, requiring some searching to find a Minccino raid.
Paid Timed Research:
A $5 USD (or equivalent) 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 through Field Research Tasks, Niantic's blog didn't specify if Minccino was included, leaving free-to-play players with uncertainty.
Obtaining Costumed Cinccino:
To get a costumed Cinccino, you needed to evolve a costumed Minccino using 50 candies and a Unova Stone.
Pokémon GO is available now.
