I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Pokedex entries states that they literally die if the core is exposed for too long. That's apparently the normal life cycle for Minior.

I had a minior on my elite 4 team and it was somehow less useful than my crabominable so I can confirm this is true

Found an unused card for Entei/Raikou for NA USUM games while throwing out some old paperwork from around my desk.
Can also be redeemed in vanilla SUMO but you don't get the gold bottle cap so why bother???

Minior is a coin flip pokemon, either it unceremoniously eats poo poo or sweeps the whole enemy team.

Minior's HP stat absolutely kills it. If it was just something like 70/120/120 in defenses it would be much better.


I was going to say that the best way to use Minior is to hope your opponent forgets that it's immune to status when shields are up and that it learns EQ.

I prefer the Z crystals, because to me, Mega Evolution is, "hey, you know that Pokemon you love? Let's give it better stats, but make it incredibly stupid looking, to the point where you'd never want to use it."

With the exception of Mega Houndoom and a couple others. Mega Houndoom should have just been a regular evolution.

loving wrong, houndoom should have gotten an evolution where it becomes a cerberus and THEN it should have gotten a mega evolution

I don't know if there's a single Mega Evolution I'd consider worse-looking than the base form.

Heck, guys like Mega Manectric are a categorical improvement.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

So my 8 year old daughter has turned into a total Pokemaniac after getting a 3DS and Pokemon Moon. There is a problem though, as her favorite pokemon is Meloetta and she's been going nuts trying to find one as she's near the end of the game. I see that apparently this one was only available via Wifi a couple years back so here is my plea....would any fellow goons happen to have one that's wasting away in their bank and be so kind as trading her one?
