Minior (Japanese: メテノ Meteno) is a dual-type Rock/Flying pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
Minior (Japanese: メテノ Meteno) is a dual-type Rock/Flying pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other pokémon, Minior can change forms during battle with its Shields Down Ability. It is normally in its Meteor Form, but when its HP is below half, its core becomes exposed. It will revert back to its Meteor Form if its HP is restored above 50%.
Minior is a spherical pokémon with two forms: one form with a rocky outer coating and the other with its core exposed. When it sheds its rocky coating, its exposed core form is both the lightest Rock-type and Flying-type pokémon.
Minior is born in the stratosphere from an aggregation of mutated nanoparticles, where it absorbs particulate matter from which it builds its core and durable shell. Eventually, this process makes it too heavy and it falls towards the surface of the planet. While in the ozone layer, it serves as food to stronger pokémon. Minior's diet consists of eating dust. Places where it falls are few, Alola being one of them.
In its Meteor Form, Minior resembles a modestly sized rock. Its rocky exterior is formed by four large plates separated by two large cracks. The cracks encircle its body both horizontally and vertically. Five white spikes extend just above the rocky surface, giving it a star shape. Two large, black spots on its front resemble eyes, and there is a third spot in the center of its back. Rings of dark brown triangles surround the holes its spikes protrude from and the spot on its back, pointing outward. One of the triangles surrounding the spot on its back is replaced with a small, brown dot. The eyespots have a half-ring of triangles resembling eyelashes. One eye has a small, brown dot in the corner.
Minior will react when touched or called to in its Meteor Form, though it is unknown if these responses indicate its consciousness. Even while apparently at rest, it tends to spin slowly in place. All Minior have the same Meteor Form regardless of the color of its core.
