The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, bringing returning costumed Pokémon and a stylish newcomer: Minccino and its evolution, Cinccino, sporting dazzling new outfits!
When to Catch Costumed Minccino
The Fashion Week 2025 event, featuring costumed Minccino and Cinccino, ran from January 10th to 19th, 2025. These fashionable Pokémon sported 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 costumed Minccino proved a bit more challenging. It was available through two primary methods:
One-Star Raids
Costume Minccino appeared in One-Star Raids during the event. While generally easy to complete solo, players needed to locate a Gym hosting a Minccino Raid, as other Pokémon like Shinx and Furfrou also appeared in these raids.
Paid Timed Research
Field Research Uncertainties
While event-themed Pokémon encounters were promised via Field Research Tasks, Niantic's blog didn't specify if Minccino was included, leaving free-to-play players uncertain.
Obtaining Costumed Cinccino
To obtain Cinccino in its fashionable attire, players needed to evolve their costumed Minccino using 50 Minccino Candies and a Unova Stone.
Pokémon GO remains available for play.
