Summary

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

Type: Rock / Flying

Abilities:

  • Shields Down: This ability is unique to Minior. When its HP drops below 50%, Minior changes from its Meteor Form to its Core Form, boosting its offensive stats but lowering its defenses.

Physical Characteristics:

  • In its Red Meteor Form, Minior appears as a spherical, rocky meteor with a tough outer shell.
  • The shell is mostly gray with red highlights, and it has small, star-like protrusions.
  • When its shell breaks, Minior reveals its core, which is a vibrant red and more spherical.
  • In its Core Form, Minior is smaller, with a smooth, glossy surface and a face-like pattern of eyes and a mouth.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Minior is often found in the upper atmosphere and is known to descend to the Earth's surface when its shell becomes heavy.
  • It thrives in high-altitude environments and is often seen in regions with mountainous terrain.
  • These Pokémon are known to form in the stratosphere where they absorb particulate matter, which affects their core color.

In Battle:

  • Minior is versatile, starting battles in its Meteor Form with higher defenses.
  • Upon transforming into its Core Form, it gains increased speed and offensive capabilities.
  • Notable moves include Acrobatics, Shell Smash, and Power Gem, which allow it to be a strong attacker once its shell breaks.
  • It is strong against Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice types due to its Rock type, but weak to Water, Electric, and Steel types.

Evolution:

  • Minior does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, maintaining its singular form throughout its life cycle.

Interesting Facts:

  • Minior's ability to change forms is reminiscent of a meteor breaking apart upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
  • The core color of Minior can vary, with Red being one of several possible colors, each with its own unique aesthetic.
  • It has the distinction of being one of the few Pokémon that change form automatically based on remaining HP.
  • Minior's design and mechanics are inspired by meteors and the concept of a hidden inner core, symbolizing potential and transformation.

Flavor Text Entries

  • 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.
