Minccino

Minccino in the anime: Bianca's tidy catch

Minccino first appeared in the opening episode of the Black and White series, In The Shadow of Zekrom!, running with children in Nuvema Town. Its biggest role came a few episodes later, when a wild Minccino stole Ash's new Badge case so it could clean it and Bianca ended up catching it.

Minccino on cards: Black & White Commons to Illustration rares

Minccino's first English card was a Common in Black & White (2011), illustrated by sui, who has drawn four Minccino cards, more than any other artist. Atsuko Nishida drew a Common for Emerging Powers and a BW Black Star Promo that came in Emerging Powers three-pack blisters. Nine of the 22 printings in our catalog come from the Black & White era, including two cards in the BW Trainer Kit (Zoroark), an Uncommon in Next Destinies and a Radiant Collection card by sui in Legendary Treasures, one of the subset's specially coated foil cards.

Shining Fates (2021) added a Shiny rare by MAHOU in its Shiny Vault. The Scarlet & Violet era then gave Minccino two different Illustration rares: one by Shibuzoh. in Temporal Forces (2024) and one by Natsumi Yoshida in Black Bolt (2025).
