Pokemon Sun And Moon Pokemon, Ranked

18 – Minior

Type: Rock/Flying

Classification: Meteor Pokemon

Pokedex: Originally making its home in the ozone layer, it hurtles to the ground when the shell enclosing its body grows too heavy. Strong impacts can knock it out of its shell. This Pokémon was born from mutated nanoparticles. It eats dust in the atmosphere. The composition of the dust determines the color of its core. If its core stays exposed, it will soon die off. It’s possible that it may survive if it’s put into a Poké Ball quickly enough.

Explanation: I wish Minior were more powerful, because in the realm of inanimate objects made Pokemon, it’s such a clever idea. Minor appears as a rocky meteorite when you first encounter it, but upon damaging it enough, reveals its beautiful core that can appear in one of several different colors. This dazzling secret within each Minior adds both a “collect them all” aspect to its different colors (some of which are rarer than others!), and also gives a little something special and unique to each one you capture or encounter.
