Trivia

• The Poké Toy item is based on Minccino's tail.
• It is possible for the Minccino that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro in Pokémon Black and White to be Shiny.

Origin

Minccino is based on a chinchilla. Its tail may be based on feather dusters or brooms, as they use their tails to clean their dens.

Name origin

Minccino may be a combination of mini (referring to its minature size), mink (an animal known for its fur and its use in women's clothing), or mince (to make smaller), and chinchilla or chino cloth.

Chillarmy is a combination of chinchilla and charm.
