Summary
Minior Indigo Meteor is a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
Type: Rock/Flying
Abilities:
- Shields Down: Protects Minior from status conditions and lowers its Defense and Special Defense until its HP drops below 50%, revealing its Core Form and increasing its speed.
Physical Characteristics:
- Minior is notable for its spherical shape and outer shell that resembles a meteor.
- In its Meteor Form, it has a tough rock shell that comes in various colors, masking its true appearance.
- Once its shell breaks, it reveals its Core Form, which is more vibrant and comes in multiple colors, with the Indigo Core being one of them.
- Minior Indigo Meteor has a sleek, smooth appearance with a rich indigo hue and star-like patterns.
Behavior and Habitat:
- Minior is typically found in the upper atmosphere, where it forms from the particles of space dust.
- It falls to the planet when its core becomes too heavy, often landing in mountainous regions.
- While in its Meteor Form, it is more defensive and less active, but upon shedding its shell, it becomes more agile and aggressive.
In Battle:
- Minior Indigo Meteor's strategy revolves around its Shields Down ability, allowing it to start defensively and later become a swift attacker.
- Known for its combination of speed and power once in Core Form, making it a versatile option in battles.
- Common moves include Acrobatics and Power Gem, taking advantage of both its types.
- Effective against Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice types, but vulnerable to Water, Electric, Rock, and Steel types.
Evolution:
- Minior does not evolve and is a standalone Pokémon. However, it can change forms during battle depending on its HP.
Interesting Facts:
- Minior's Indigo Core is one of several possible core colors, each with a unique appearance.
- The concept of Minior is inspired by meteorites and the idea of hidden potential, represented by its transformation from Meteor Form to Core Form.
- Its ability to change forms is reminiscent of a star shedding its outer layers to reveal the core.
- Minior's design and behavior may symbolize the idea of looking beyond outer appearances to find true strength within.
