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, due to its Shields Down Ability, depending on its current HP. When Minior's HP is below half, it changes from Meteor Form to a form where its core is exposed. Exposed core Minior will revert back to Meteor Form if its HP is restored above 50%.
Minior's exposed core can be one of seven colors, which are non-interchangeable and correspond to the colors of a rainbow. These forms are Red Core, Orange Core, Yellow Core, Green Core, Blue Core, Indigo Core, and Violet Core.
Biology
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. Both of its forms tie with Carbink and Dwebble as the shortest Rock-type.
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. Even while apparently at rest, Minior tends to spin slowly in place.
When its core is exposed, Minior loses its rocky shell. The core is a bright, pastel color. Depending on the color of debris and food it absorbed and ate while in the stratosphere, Minior's core can be Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, or Violet. A handful of darker triangles are also visible on its body in random places. Minior's eyes and mouth are formed from energy that floats in front of its body like a two-dimensional mask. The eyes are two large swirls and the mouth is a smaller line. Its face tends to stay level regardless of how Minior spins the rest of its body. The colors of Minior's forms are determined by the composition of the dust it consumes.
Minior forms in the stratosphere from an aggregation of mutated nanoparticles, where it absorbs particulate matter from which it builds its core and shell. When touched in Meteor Form, Minior will react when touched or called to, it is unknown if these responses indicate its consciousness. Eventually, this process makes it too heavy and it falls towards the surface of the planet. When its shell breaks from landing, Minior becomes lighter and capable of attacking quickly. However, it cannot survive for long with its core exposed, and will eventually die if not placed inside a Poké Ball quickly enough. Despite this, many fallen Minior will attempt to return to space, sadly being unable to return to space. Despite their their wish to return home, all they can do is fade away without their shells. The cute, pastel coloring of Minior's core often inspires designers to use it as a motif for clothing and accessories.[1] While in the ozone layer, it serves as food to stronger Pokémon such as Rayquaza. Minior's diet consists of eating dust. Places where Minior falls are few, Alola being one of them.
Minior is the only known Pokémon that can have Shields Down as an Ability.
Forms
Minior has two forms: Meteor Form and the seven colored forms for its core that are otherwise identical.
All Minior have the same Meteor Form regardless of the color of its exposed core, which can be any of seven colors corresponding to the colors of a rainbow. The color of a Minior's core cannot be changed.

Form data
Minior has two forms: Meteor Form and the seven colored forms for its core that are otherwise identical. It changes between them with its Ability Shields Down. It will always have its core exposed outside of battle. In battle, wild Minior start in Meteor Form, while other Minior start with their core exposed but are immediately transformed into Meteor Form by Shields Down after being sent out. If Meteor Form Minior's HP is at or below 50% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn, its shell breaks and it has its core exposed. It changes back into Meteor Form at the end of a turn if its HP is above 50% of its maximum HP.
Minior has different stats based on whether it is in Meteor Form or if its core is exposed. Meteor Form Minior has higher Defense and Special Defense, while exposed core Minior has higher Attack, Special Attack, and Speed. Due to its Ability Shields Down, Meteor Form Minior cannot be afflicted by status conditions or become drowsy due to Yawn.

|
Minior's core can be one of seven different colors, each corresponding to one of the colors of a rainbow. These forms are purely cosmetic and are non-interchangeable. Bred Minior will always have the same color as their parent. In Generation VII, and also in the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME, all colors of Minior's core share the exact same Shiny appearance.

In older versions of Pokémon HOME, Shiny forms of Minior had a slight tint that indicated their form. This was reverted in newer versions of HOME, with all forms appearing identical, with no apparent tint. |
Trivia
- Minior was designed by Hitoshi Ariga.[2]
- The concept of Minior came from Masafumi Nukita, which also involved writing their Pokédex entries.[3]
- Prior to the release of Pokémon HOME, Minior was tied with Alcremie as being under the most Pokédex color groupings, with a total of six. The distinction is now held by Vivillon, with nine Pokédex color groupings.
- Minior is the only Flying-type Pokémon to consist only of a head.
- Excluding Mega Evolutions, Minior is the only Rock-type Pokémon introduced prior to Generation VIII that cannot be obtained in any Generation VIII game.
Origin
Minior is likely based on a meteor, which are colloquially known as "falling stars" or "shooting stars". The colors of its exposed core roughly correspond with those of a classic rainbow, or ROYGBIV. Additionally, Minior's exposed core design may take inspiration from the Portuguese and Japanese star-shaped candy konpeitō, while its Meteor Form could be a reference to gashapon machines, which dispenses toys in capsules — the toy it gives is random each time, and the capsule must be opened to see it, just as Minior must break its outer shell to reveal which colour it is.
Name origin
Minior may be derived from meteor, and may involve any mixture of the words mini, minor, junior, armor, ore, and core.
Meteno may be a combination of meteor and nano.
