Summary

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

Type: Rock/Flying

Abilities:

  • Shields Down: This ability allows Minior to be protected from status conditions and have higher defenses when in its Meteor form. Once its HP falls below half, it changes to its Core form, where it becomes more offensive.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Minior Red, in its Meteor form, has a spherical, rocky exterior that is primarily gray with craters and a red core that is revealed when the shell breaks.
  • In its Core form, Minior is small and vibrant red, with a star-like appearance and glowing eyes. The core is smooth and round with a lustrous sheen.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Minior is typically found in the upper atmosphere, where it feeds on atmospheric particles.
  • When its shell grows heavy with debris, it falls to the planet's surface, which is when it can be encountered by trainers.
  • It is known to travel in groups, creating a meteor shower-like effect when they fall to Earth.

In Battle:

  • Minior Red is a versatile combatant, capable of both defensive and offensive roles due to its Shields Down ability.
  • In its Meteor form, it has higher defenses, while its Core form boosts its speed and attack power.
  • Notable moves include Shell Smash, which can drastically increase its offensive capabilities, and Acrobatics, which gains power if Minior isn't holding an item.
  • Minior is effective against Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice types but is vulnerable to Electric, Ice, Rock, Steel, and Water types.

Evolution:

  • Minior does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon.

Interesting Facts:

  • Minior's color variations in its Core form are determined when it is first encountered and cannot be changed, with red being one of the possible colors.
  • The concept of Minior is inspired by meteorites and their fiery descent through the atmosphere.
  • Its design and battle mechanics reflect a dual nature, emphasizing transformation and adaptability in combat scenarios.
  • Despite its celestial origins, Minior is playful and enjoys the company of others when on the ground.

  • 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.
