How to Get Shiny Minccino in Pokemon GO

Players will see Minccino appear in the title during a limited time research event on Sunday, February 2nd. The event will be taking place during the period of 2 PM to 5 PM in your local time zone. However, you will need an open research slot to receive the required one to be able to catch Minccino during the limited time research event. You will need to complete these tasks to be given the ability to encounter this new character and catch it.

This creature will also become available in 5 KM eggs, so players will still have the ability to acquire this cute little character following the conclusion of the event.

The shiny version of the character will also become available for players to catch, so everyone who sets aside some time to partake in this upcoming event on February 2nd will have the chance to obtain Minccino’s shiny version and add a unique member to their teams.
