Effect

In battle

At the start of battle or at the end of a turn, if Minior's HP is above half, it will change into its Meteor Form. At the end of the turn, if its HP is below half, it will change back to its Core Form.

In Meteor Form, it has high Defense and Special Defense and cannot be afflicted by status conditions. In Core Form, it has high Attack, Special Attack, and Speed.

Shields Down cannot be transferred with Skill Swap, copied with Trace or Role Play, changed by Worry Seed or Simple Beam, or suppressed by Gastro Acid. If a Pokémon Transforms into Minior, Shields Down will not be copied.

Mold Breaker, Turboblaze, and Teravolt have no effect on Shields Down. If a Pokémon with Poison Touch uses Sunsteel Strike on a Minior in Core Form, it will not be poisoned.

If Minior gets a status condition while in Core Form and later changes into Meteor Form, the status condition remains in effect.

Outside of battle

Minior is always in Core Form outside of battle.
