"Guide to Obtaining Costume Minccino in Pokemon GO"

Author : Noah Apr 06,2025

The much-anticipated Fashion Week event in *Pokemon GO* is set to make a stylish return, reintroducing beloved costumed Pokemon and introducing the fashionable duo of costume Minccino and Cinccino. This event, scheduled from January 10 to January 19, 2025, promises to dazzle players with Minccino and Cinccino sporting big rhinestone-studded glasses and cute bows on their ears.

When Does Costume Minccino Release in Pokemon GO?

Costume Minccino, along with its evolved form, costume Cinccino, will debut during Fashion Week 2025. Excitingly, costume Minccino can be encountered in its Shiny form, adding an extra layer of excitement for collectors. However, according to the official Pokemon blog, costume Cinccino will not have a Shiny variant available during this event.

In addition to the new additions, the event will see the return of other costumed favorites such as Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx. Furfrou, known for its various forms, will also make appearances in wild spawns and Raids.

How To Get Costume Minccino in Pokemon GO

While the trend of fewer new Pokemon debuts as wild spawns continues, costume Minccino will be available through two primary methods: Raids and Research.

One-Star Raids

During Fashion Week, costume Minccino will be featured in One-Star Raids, which are typically easy to solo. Players can head to a Gym to participate in these Raids and have a chance to catch a costumed Minccino. However, they'll need to be prepared to visit multiple Gyms, as costume Shinx and Furfrou will also appear in One-Star Raids during the event.

For those willing to invest, a Paid Timed Research ticket priced at $5 USD (or the local equivalent) offers another avenue to encounter costume Minccino. This ticket not only provides a chance to catch the fashionable Minccino but also includes XP, Stardust rewards, and a new avatar pose, enhancing the overall event experience.

Field Research Tasks

The event's Field Research Tasks promise encounters with event-themed Pokemon. While the specific Pokemon aren't detailed in Niantic's blog, there's a possibility that costume Minccino could be among them. However, given Niantic's history, the new costumed variant might be exclusive to the Paid Timed Research, leaving free-to-play players with encounters of other event Pokemon.

How To Get Costume Cinccino in Pokemon GO

For those eager to add costume Cinccino to their collection, the path is clear: evolve a costume Minccino. This requires catching at least two costume Minccino, then using 50 Candies and a Unova Stone to evolve it into the stylish Cinccino.

With these strategies in mind, players can fully enjoy the Fashion Week event in *Pokemon GO* and add the chic Minccino and Cinccino to their Pokedex.
