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

Type: Rock/Flying

Abilities:

Shields Down: This ability has two effects depending on Minior's form:
Meteor Form: Protects Minior from status conditions and reduces damage from non-super effective moves.
Core Form (Yellow): When Minior's HP falls below 50%, it changes to its Core Form, boosting its offensive stats but losing its defensive shield.

Physical Characteristics:

In its Meteor Form, Minior resembles a small, rocky sphere with a tough, outer shell that is primarily gray.
The Core Form (Yellow) is revealed when the shell breaks, showcasing a vibrant yellow core with star-like protrusions, giving it an energetic appearance.
The core is smooth and brightly colored, with expressive eyes and small, star-shaped appendages.

Behavior and Habitat:

Minior typically inhabits the upper layers of the atmosphere, where it forms from the dust and debris in space.
It occasionally falls to the planet's surface during meteor showers, making it a rare sight on land.
Known for being highly energetic and somewhat unpredictable when its core is exposed.

In Battle:

Minior is a versatile Pokémon due to its ability to switch between defensive and offensive forms.
Signature moves include Acrobatics and Power Gem, which take advantage of its dual typing.
Its Meteor Form is more defensive, ideal for withstanding hits, while its Core Form (Yellow) excels in offensive power and speed.
Strong against Bug, Fire, Flying, and Poison types but weak against Water, Ice, Electric, and Rock types.

Evolution:

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

Interesting Facts:

Minior's core color is determined at random, with Yellow being one of several possible colors.
It is inspired by meteors and the concept of protective outer shells revealing something vibrant and valuable inside.
In the Pokémon Sun and Moon games, Minior's Shell Smash move is particularly notable, allowing it to transition effectively between forms.

This summary provides a comprehensive overview of Minior Yellow, capturing its unique characteristics and role in the Pokémon world.
