Summary

Minior Orange is a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Type: Rock / Flying

Abilities:

  • Shields Down: This ability allows Minior to change forms during battle. It starts in its Meteor Form, and when its HP falls below 50%, it sheds its outer shell to reveal its Core Form, increasing its speed and attack stats.

Physical Characteristics:

  • In its Meteor Form, Minior appears as a small, spherical Pokémon encased in a rocky shell. The shell is gray with a bumpy surface.
  • When in Core Form, Minior's shell breaks away to reveal a bright orange core with a cheerful, star-like appearance. The core has small, rounded limbs and a face marked by two black eyes and a small mouth.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Minior is known to inhabit the upper atmosphere. It falls to the ground when its shell becomes too heavy or damaged.
  • It spends most of its time in the sky, where it absorbs particles from space to strengthen its shell.
  • Minior is typically solitary but can often be found in groups when it descends to Earth.

In Battle:

  • Minior is a versatile battler, starting as a defensive tank in its Meteor Form and turning into a fast, aggressive attacker in its Core Form.
  • Notable moves include Power Gem, Acrobatics, and Shell Smash, which further enhances its offensive capabilities in Core Form.
  • Strong against Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice types due to its Rock typing, but weak against Water, Electric, Ice, and Rock moves due to its Flying typing.
  • The transformation ability provides strategic depth, allowing for a change in battle tactics mid-fight.

Evolution:

  • Minior does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making it a standalone species.

Interesting Facts:

  • Minior's Core Form comes in several colors, including Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, and Orange, making it highly collectible for trainers.
  • The color of Minior's core is determined by the atmospheric particles it absorbs before falling to Earth.
  • Its Shields Down ability is unique and plays a crucial role in its battle strategy, offering both defensive and offensive advantages.
  • Minior's design is inspired by meteoroids, with its dual form reflecting the concept of a meteor breaking apart upon entering Earth's atmosphere.

  • Sun: Originally making its home in the ozone layer, it hurtles to the ground when the shell enclosing its body grows too heavy.
  • Moon: Strong impacts can knock it out of its shell. This Pokémon was born from mutated nanoparticles.
  • Ultra-Sun: It lives in the ozone layer, where it becomes food for stronger Pokémon. When it tries to run away, it falls to the ground.
  • Ultra-Moon: Although its outer shell is uncommonly durable, the shock of falling to the ground smashes the shell to smithereens.
