'''Minun''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マイナン''' ''Minun'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
{{P|Plusle}} and Minun bear a remarkable resemblance to {{P|Pichu}} and {{P|Pikachu}}. Minun have short tails with flat minus signs on the end of them, while their cheeks and the tips of their ears are blue, and have minus signs voided in the middle. Minun and Plusle have minuses and plus signs on their cheeks.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Minun creates electrical pom-poms and sparks to cheer on its partners.

Minun's stats are geared towards defense whereas Plusle's stats are sweeper-oriented. Minun's Movepool is nearly identical to Plusle, except that Minun learns {{m|Charm}} and {{m|Trump Card}} and lacks {{m|Last Resort}}.

===Behavior===
Minun is a cheerful and supportive Pokémon, always encouraging comrades in battle by using the spark pouches in its cheeks. It is very compassionate towards its friends, and is known to cry upon witnessing a friend lose a battle. They are commonly referred to as cheerleaders for these actions.

===Habitat===

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG038.jpg|thumb|right|Minun, along with its counterpart, {{p|Plusle}}, and [[Ash's Pikachu]]]]
Minun first appeared alongside {{p|Plusle}} in ''[[AG038|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 ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.

[[Elijah]] used Minun and Plusle as actors in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]''. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Plusle and Minun were setting out to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from an evil {{p|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.

==Trivia==
*Minun shares the same [[species]] name with its partner {{p|Plusle}}. They are both known as Cheering Pokémon.
*Minun is one of four Pokémon (the other being {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Dunsparce}}) able to learn the move {{m|Trump Card}}.
* Despite being based on a rodent-like creature, it is unable to breed with Pokémon from the {{egg3|Ground}} (common to mammals); it is exclusive to the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
* {{p|Pachirisu}}, Plusle, and Minun are the only non-legendary Electric-type Pokémon with no evolutions or form differences.
* Minun is considered by many fans to be a [[novelty Pokémon]] due to the fact it's inclusion in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} appeared to be simply to showcase the [[double battle]] system which was introduced in [[Generation III]].
* Minun's {{a|Minus|ability}} is useless in single battles, and is only useful in double battles if Minun is partnered with {{p|Plusle}}.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|mouse}} or {{wp|rabbit}}.

====Name origin====
Minun's name is based on ''minus'', referring to something with a negative electrical charge.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Minun
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Negapi - Comes from ''negative'' and possibly ''pikapika'', the Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkling.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마이농 ''Minong''
