The Pokémon GO Fashion Week event is back, featuring returning costumed Pokémon and the debut of costumed Minccino and Cinccino! This stylish duo sports rhinestone glasses and adorable bows.
When and Where to Find Costumed Minccino:
The Fashion Week event, running January 10th-19th, 2025, marks the arrival of costumed Minccino. Unlike Cinccino, Minccino has a shiny variant available during this event. You can find it in:
-
One-Star Raids: These raids are easily soloable, providing a good chance to catch Minccino. However, other costumed Pokémon like Shinx and Furfrou will also appear in these raids, requiring some searching.
-
Paid Timed Research: A $5 USD (or equivalent) ticket guarantees an encounter with costumed Minccino, along with XP, Stardust, and a new avatar pose.
-
Potential Field Research: While not confirmed, event-themed Field Research tasks might offer Minccino encounters. However, relying on this method is risky, as Niantic often reserves new costumed Pokémon for paid research.
Catching Costumed Cinccino:
To obtain costumed Cinccino, evolve your costumed Minccino using 50 Minccino Candy and a Unova Stone.
Other costumed Pokémon returning for Fashion Week include Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx, with Furfrou appearing in wild spawns and Raids.
