Summary

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

Type: Rock / Flying

Abilities:

  • Shields Down: Protects Minior from status conditions and prevents it from being affected by non-volatile status changes until its HP drops below 50%.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Minior in its Meteor form has a tough, protective outer shell that is primarily yellow in color.
  • The shell is a spherical, boulder-like structure with a rugged surface.
  • When the shell breaks and Minior enters its Core form, it reveals a smaller, more colorful inner body with a star-like appearance.
  • Minior's Core form is vibrant and lively, contrasting its subdued Meteor form.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Minior is known to inhabit the upper atmosphere, where it forms and accumulates debris to create its protective shell.
  • When its shell becomes too heavy, Minior falls to the planet's surface, where it sheds its outer layer if damaged.
  • It is rarely seen in the wild due to its unique habitat but tends to reside in areas with open skies and rocky terrains when on the ground.

In Battle:

  • Minior is a versatile Pokémon, capable of both defensive and offensive strategies.
  • In its Meteor form, it is more defensive, leveraging its high Defense and Special Defense stats.
  • Upon shedding its shell and entering Core form, Minior becomes a fast and powerful attacker with increased Speed and Attack stats.
  • Notable moves include Acrobatics, Power Gem, and Shell Smash, the latter of which greatly boosts its offensive capabilities.
  • It is strong against Bug, Fire, Flying, and Ice types but vulnerable to Electric, Rock, Steel, and Water types.

Evolution:

  • Minior does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. It is a standalone Pokémon with unique transformations based on its battle condition.

Interesting Facts:

  • Minior's design and concept are inspired by meteoroids, which explains its atmospheric origin and ability to form a protective shell from space debris.
  • Its Shield Down ability is unique, reflecting its transformation from a defensive to an offensive form during battles.
  • Minior's vibrant Core form has several color variations, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, though Yellow is one of the most notable for its bright appearance.
  • In the Pokémon games, Minior's form change is central to its battle strategy, offering a dynamic shift in playstyle as its health changes.

  • 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.
