Verdict

Collector's Pick
Minccino is a Normal-type Pokemon with base stats of 98/80/146 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 986. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Minccino may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Minccino in Pokemon GO?
Minccino has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Minccino for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Minccino's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Minccino is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the other hand, Minccino resists Ghost-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Minccino effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Minccino's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Minccino's maximum CP is 986 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 872 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Minccino's CP is calculated from its base stats: 98 Attack, 80 Defense, and 146 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Minccino caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 498 CP, or 623 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Minccino?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Minccino has the following CP at key levels: 374 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 498 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 623 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 986 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Minccino, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Minccino ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Minccino in Pokemon GO?
Minccino can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Currently available as a 1-Star Raids raid boss. Minccino can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Minccino be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Minccino's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Minccino availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
