Summary
Minior (Orange Meteor) is a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
Type: Rock / Flying
Abilities:
- Shields Down: This ability keeps Minior in its Meteor Form until its HP drops below half, at which point it changes to its Core Form and its stats change significantly.
Physical Characteristics:
- Minior in its Meteor Form appears as a small, spherical Pokémon encased in a hard, rocky shell with a star-shaped core visible inside.
- The shell is mostly brown with hexagonal shapes marking its surface.
- Once its shell breaks, Minior reveals its Core Form, which is bright orange, and its core is surrounded by small, colorful, star-like particles.
Behavior and Habitat:
- Minior is found in the upper layers of the atmosphere where it forms from the crystallization of cosmic dust particles.
- It falls to the ground when its core becomes heavy, seeking nutrients from the Earth to grow.
- Exhibits a playful and carefree personality once in its Core Form, often seen spinning energetically.
In Battle:
- Minior is a versatile attacker with a balanced stat spread, which changes dramatically from defense-oriented in Meteor Form to offense-oriented in Core Form.
- Notable moves include Shell Smash, which boosts its offensive stats by lowering its defenses, and Acrobatics, which becomes powerful once it loses its held item.
- Effective against Bug and Grass types due to its Rock-type moves, but weak against Water and Ice types.
Evolution:
- Minior does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making it a standalone species.
Interesting Facts:
- Minior's core can be one of several colors, including orange, which is determined when it is encountered.
- Its Shields Down ability is unique to Minior, providing a strategic element in battles by changing its form and stats.
- The design is inspired by meteoroids and the concept of a star within a rock, symbolizing its dual nature and transformative abilities.
