Other Appearances

• In the Pokémon anime, Minccino was featured in one episode of the Unova series where it stole Ash's badge case. Bianca wound up catching it by the end of the episode. Other Minccino have made more minor appearances.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, at one point during the Black/White arc, a Minccino was featured with Trubbish as the two Pokémon belonging to Geoff, the president of the Battle Company who posed as a janitor. The Minccino helped Geoff by sweeping up with its tail, and its scarf was able to repel most attacks. In battle with Black, his Galvantula was able to defeat it with a physical attack by swinging around on a thread of its web.

Trivia

• Its name seems to be a combination of "mink" (a furry animal which reflects its evolved form's association with fur) or "mini" with "chino" (a type of cloth).
