In the world of
Pokémon, there are all types. There are fierce and strong creatures such as Charizard and there are also those on the more cuddly side of the spectrum such as Pikachu or Jigglypuff. Fans who enjoy collecting the cuter creatures available in
Pokémon Go will be thrilled to learn that this weekend's event features one of the most adorable Pokémon of them all.
Minccino, the chinchilla Pokémon, will be joining the hundreds of Pokémon already available in the mobile game this weekend. Simply taking one look at the Pokémon is enough to gain an understanding as to why many trainers consider it to be among the cutest creatures, and its debut in
Pokémon Go is certain to help Minccino gain many new fans.
Shiny Minccino will also be available during the event, so there will be no need to wait for Niantic to add it later on with a Community Day or some other event! Trainers will also see the chinchilla hatching 5 km eggs and continue to do so after the event has ended. The event itself takes place this Sunday, February 2nd from 2 pm to 5 pm.

Pokémon Go Minccino Limited Research Day.
