The highly anticipated Fashion Week event in *Pokemon GO* is making a stylish return, bringing back some beloved costumed Pokemon and introducing new fashionable faces to the game. This year, the spotlight shines on costume Minccino and Cinccino, who are set to dazzle players with their unique, rhinestone-studded glasses and charming bows on their ears.

When Does Costume Minccino Release in Pokemon GO?

Costume Minccino, along with its evolved form, costume Cinccino, will make their debut during Fashion Week 2025, which runs from January 10 to January 19, 2025. Excitingly, the new costume Minccino can appear in its Shiny form, adding an extra layer of excitement for collectors. However, according to the official Pokemon blog, costume Cinccino will not be available in Shiny form during this event.

In addition to the new arrivals, Fashion Week 2025 will feature the return of other fan-favorite costumed Pokemon, including Butterfree, Dragonite, Diglett, Blitzle, Kirlia, and Shinx. Also, the versatile Furfrou will be making appearances in the wild and in Raids, showcasing its various stylish forms.

How To Get Costume Minccino in Pokemon GO

While *Pokemon GO* enthusiasts might be disappointed with the trend of fewer new Pokemon debuting as wild spawns, costume Minccino will be available through two main methods: Raids and Research.

One-Star Raids

During the Fashion Week event, players can encounter costume Minccino in One-Star Raids. These raids are typically manageable solo, making it relatively straightforward for players to catch a Minccino, provided they can access a Gym hosting the raid. Keep in mind, though, that costume Shinx and Furfrou will also appear in One-Star Raids, so it might take a few attempts to find a Gym featuring a Minccino Raid.

Paid Timed Research

Field Research Tasks

The event's Field Research Tasks promise encounters with event-themed Pokemon. Although the specific Pokemon aren't detailed by Niantic, there's a possibility that costume Minccino might be included. However, given recent trends, it wouldn't surprise players if the new costumed variant were exclusive to the Paid Timed Research, leaving free-to-play trainers to encounter other event Pokemon.

How To Get Costume Cinccino in Pokemon GO

For those eager to add a costumed Cinccino to their collection, the only way to do so is by evolving a costume Minccino. To achieve this, trainers will need to catch at least two costume Minccino, then use 50 Candies and a Unova Stone to evolve one into a stylish Cinccino.

With these strategies in mind, players can look forward to adding the fashionable Minccino and Cinccino to their *Pokemon GO* collections during Fashion Week 2025.
