Get ready for a fashionable frenzy in *Pokémon GO*! The recurring Fashion Week event is back, bringing with it a stylish new addition: costumed Minccino and Cinccino. These adorable Pokémon sport dazzling rhinestone glasses and charming little bows, ready to strut their stuff.
Costume Minccino Release in Pokémon GO
The fashionable Minccino and Cinccino debuted during Fashion Week 2025, gracing the game from January 10th to 19th, 2025. A delightful surprise? Costume Minccino can be found in its shiny form! However, Costume Cinccino will remain elusive as a shiny variant.
While Minccino takes center stage as the new costumed Pokémon, Fashion Week 2025 also brings back fan favorites. Get ready to encounter costumed Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx. And don't forget the ever-stylish Furfrou, appearing in both wild spawns and raids.
How to Get Costume Minccino in Pokémon GO
Unfortunately, unlike previous events, obtaining the costumed Minccino requires a bit more effort. It's available through two methods: Raids and Paid Timed Research.
One-Star Raids
During Fashion Week, one-star raids offer a chance to encounter Costume Minccino. These raids are generally soloable, making it accessible to most trainers. However, Costume Shinx and Furfrou also appear in one-star raids, so you might need a few attempts to find a Minccino raid.
Paid Timed Research
Field Research Tasks
Field research tasks will reward encounters with event-themed Pokémon. While the specific Pokémon aren't listed, there's a possibility of encountering Minccino. However, it's likely that the paid research will be the most reliable method for obtaining the new costumed variant.
How to Get Costume Cinccino in Pokémon GO
To obtain the elegant Costume Cinccino, you'll need to evolve your newly caught Costume Minccino. Gather 50 Minccino candies and a Unova Stone to complete the evolution.
So there you have it! Happy hunting for your fashionable Pokémon additions.
*Pokémon GO* is available now.
