Minum, along with its counterpart, Plusle, and Ash's Pikachu

Minun first appeared alongside Plusle in A Different Kind of Misty. Both Pokémon were owned by Thatcher, who is responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The same Minun and Plusle appear again in Cheer Pressure, where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.

Elijah used Minun and Plusle as actors in Lights, Camerupt, Action. The plot of the movie was that Minun and Plusle were setting out to rescue Princess Kirlia from an evil Exploud.

Minun and Plusle also appear as supporting characters in the film Destiny Deoxys, serving as the story's comic relief. The pair helps Tory Lund to overcome his fear of Pokémon.
