Minior (Meteor Form)

Minior's cores

Minior's core comes in seven colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Every meteor shower brings one of them for the first time.

The Geminids are special: the Northern and Southern Hemispheres each get a different new color.

Green Core Minior debuts during the Orionids.

The colors of the other showers are still to be announced.

How Minior battles

It starts every battle in its Meteor Form, with more Defense and less Attack. Below half its HP the shell breaks and shows its core, with more Attack and less Defense.

For now it only changes form against Team GO Rocket and team leaders, and in the GO Battle League.

It can't be used in the 2027 Latin America International Championships.
