Evolving to Fashionable Cinccino

A captured Fashionable Minccino evolves into a Fashionable Cinccino. This evolution requires 50 Candy and an Unova Stone. While Candy can be farmed through catching and transferring Minccino, Unova Stones are obtained as Field Research Breakthrough rewards or occasionally from specific Research Tasks.

Shiny Fashionable Minccino: Availability

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

Acquiring Shiny Fashionable Minccino

While Fashionable Minccino Raids guarantee an encounter, there's a chance it will be Shiny. While a guaranteed Shiny encounter is impossible, increasing the number of Raids completed increases the chances of encountering a Shiny variant.

Completing Research Tasks featuring Fashionable Minccino also offers a chance to encounter a Shiny Pokémon GO Fashionable Minccino. Although not guaranteed, the probability is higher than random chance.
