Pokémon that have used Minimize no longer have their sprite replaced with a tiny generic image.

Generation IV

Generation V

Minimize now raises the user's evasion by two stages.

Pokémon that have used Minimize will now receive double damage (instead of power being doubled) from Stomp and Steamroller.

Generation VI

Minimize's PP changed from 20 to 10.
