Obtaining Fashionable Minccino from Research Tasks

Pokémon GO events featuring Fashionable Minccino often include Research tasks that reward players with an encounter.

Certain Fashion Week 2025 Research tasks guarantee a Fashionable Minccino encounter upon completion.

Catching a Fashionable Minccino allows for its evolution into a Fashionable Cinccino. This evolution requires 50 Candy and an Unova Stone. While Candy can be farmed through catching and transferring multiple Minccino, Unova Stones are obtained as Field Research Breakthrough rewards or sometimes as rewards for completing specific Research tasks.

Yes, Shiny Fashionable Minccino is available in Pokémon GO. Both standard and Shiny versions were introduced during the 2025 Fashion Week event.

Securing a Shiny Fashionable Minccino

While Fashionable Minccino Raids guarantee an encounter, there's a chance it could be Shiny. While a guaranteed Shiny encounter is impossible, increasing your chances involves maximizing the number of Fashionable Minccino encounters. The more Raids you win, the higher your odds.

Completing Research tasks featuring Fashionable Minccino also offers a chance to encounter a Shiny variant, though it's not guaranteed.
