Overview
Minccino is a Normal-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Chinchilla Pokemon (Dex #136). These Pokemon like things neat and tidy. They are always sweeping and dusting their habitat, using their tails as brooms. Minccino is paired with Cinccino in the Pokopia Dex. It carries the Gather specialty, which means it picks up materials and items from the ground and places them into a community box.
Habitat
Minccino can be found at two habitats, both of which can be placed in any area.
Changing Area (#075)
Give your look a once-over in the mirror after you change clothes. A place to become your ideal self!
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Closet (any) | 1 | Any closet type works |
Mirror (Large) | 1 | Large mirror required |
Minccino is a Common visitor at the Changing Area. It is available during all times of day (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night) and in all weather conditions (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy).
Private Makeup Stand (#076)
The partition helps keep prying eyes away before you're ready for the public.
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Partition (any) | 2 | Any partition type works |
Closet (any) | 1 | Any closet type works |
Dresser (any) | 1 | Any dresser type works |
Minccino is a Common visitor at this habitat as well. It shares the Private Makeup Stand with Cinccino (Rare). Available at all times and in all weather.
Location
Both habitats can be placed in any area. The Changing Area is the simpler option, requiring only a Closet and a Large Mirror. The Private Makeup Stand needs two Partitions, a Closet, and a Dresser, but it also attracts Cinccino.
How to Befriend
Build the Changing Area for the quickest setup. Place any Closet and a Large Mirror near each other to create the habitat. Minccino is Common, so it should appear quickly. Walk up and interact with it to befriend it.
Specialty: Gather
Minccino has the Gather specialty. Pokemon with the Gather specialty will pick up materials and other items they find on the ground and place them in a community box. This is extremely useful for keeping your island clean and collecting scattered resources automatically. Minccino's tidy nature fits this specialty perfectly.

Related Pokemon
Minccino is paired with Cinccino (Dex #137). In the main Pokemon series, Minccino evolves into Cinccino when exposed to a Shiny Stone. In Pokopia, both are found independently. Minccino and Cinccino share the Private Makeup Stand habitat, where Minccino is Common and Cinccino is Rare. Other Pokemon with similar preferences include Audino and Chansey.
Tips
The Changing Area is the simplest habitat to build for Minccino, requiring only a Closet and a Large Mirror.
If you build the Private Makeup Stand instead, you can find both Minccino and Cinccino at the same habitat.
Minccino's Gather specialty is one of the most convenient in the game. It automatically collects loose items from the ground, saving you time on resource gathering.
Pair Minccino with other cleanliness-loving Pokemon to create a well-maintained area on your island. Audino shares similar preferences and works well alongside Minccino.
