There isn't a way to describe how happy I'd be if Minior was as good as Aegislash. There is not even a remote chance that it will be though, sadly.

>>29577371
I still don't dig his design.

>>29577371
How? Nigga doesn't even evolve.

>>29577405
I know that feel bro, but who cares as long as we can all appreciate a good pokemon

Its movepool don't mean shit if its BST is sub-400

>>29577496
Damn, that changes things. Hope it's BST is good, or at least distributed well.

My fave Alolamon so far. A trock that's a cute and lethal enchanted meteor? Yes.

Where is the proof of Acrobatics?

>>29577613
Minior has the new Shields Down Ability, which no other Pokémon has had before. With the Shields Down Ability, it will have excellent defensive capabilities as long as its shell is intact. It will also be protected from status conditions. But when its HP drops below half, its shell will break, and it will change to a form better suited to attacking.

>>29577613
Yeah it's part of it's ability.

>>29577661
>>29577662
Holy shit I've read its description a hundred times and I've never noticed this

Minior a best and a cute.

What color do you all want? Are you using one first playthrough?

I want one of the blue ones, either the dark or the light one. Naming mine Aldebaran.

>>29577724
But Aldebaran is red.

>>29577724
>What color do you all want? Are you using one first playthrough?
Been planning to use one from when I first saw it. I think I'm gonna go for a purple or green one. Dunno what I'll call it. Maybe Axis or Luna II.

huh, I thought it was just gonna have balanced stats and a wide variety of stat up moves

>>29577773

>mfw didn't really care about the colors for the actual stars before because just didn't think about
>mfw my autism won't let me forget now

Well, damn it anon. I was going to name mine Aldebaran because it's the brightest star in my zodiac constellation and all.

I guess if it's like that, then... Ori or Orion since Orion has a fuckload of blue stars, or maybe Naos.

Now I'm gonna make a chart and catch a bunch of them, just to name them after the correct stars. Thanks friend


I think I might just have fun breeding miniors, naming them and dumping them out in the GTS or wondertrade. Or maybe I'll just name them all Hokulele and shooting star in different languages for meme points.

>>29577483
Scarf imposter ditto, you don't need to defeat him with flying moves, you just need to break him offensively.

>>29577920
If it's ability actually boosts it's stats depending on form, that might not be as big a deal.

Thanks to shield mode I bet you could actually get off 2 shell smashes, particularly against normals.

Or use disruptive moves like toxic and spikes, subbing down to your liechi berry.

So stoked

So let's assume you can't recover the shields without switching even if you get your health back

How much of a fever dream would it be to hope for U-Turn or Volt Switch? And would a possible switch heavy strategy work?

>>29578184
Most flying types get u-turn if that gives you a little more hope

>>29577724
Gonna get a blue one and name it Pollux. I'm only going to use it for the story so hopefully it can at least hold its own against that. If not I'll probably box it, which is a shame because it is my favorite Alolamon...

>>29577371
if i capture a female minior i'll nickname it penny

>>29579964
Everything can hold it's own in the story, Anon.

Except Unown

>>29580005
What is Bastiodon.

>>29580002
forgot to say that must be yellow for it to work

>>29580002
It's genderless ya dingus.

I dont even care if its going to probably be an overused meme pokemon. Its by far my favorite design this gen.

Skarmory, Ferrothorn, everything else that already walls Cloyster.

>>29580005
Tried using Liepard in White version. Maybe I was just especially autistic at that point but that thing couldn't hold it's own for shit and I had to box it.

Black Minior is a shiny?
My fucking God, this will be suffering.

>>29581771
Yep, shiny purple, not gonna be a good time, hoping it'll have a horde

>>29581771
Honestly the shiny should have changed the outer shell

>>29581771
>/shw/ when hunting a black minior

We might have found our new shiny Vespiquen

>>29581750
So what's the deal with it? Does it have four normal colors and four shiny colors? Which shiny corresponds to which normal?

>>29581831
Each normal is followed by its shiny
Shiny red is orange
Shiny yellow is green
Shiny cyan is blue
Shiny purple is black with cololred triangles

>>29577405
I was going to collect them and name them all Star Bits

I'm a bit disappointed that it'll probably be good, actually

>>29580005
Heatmor cannot. That this is so goddamn worthless.

no the shiny is just black period. the other colors are ones you can find normally.

>not the the new ghost/steel pokemon

>>29581982
he's grass/steel

>>29581997
He's water/steel.

Wait, is the color of every Minior permanent? I thought it changed each time the shell broke.

>>29581954
>>29581970
>>29581971
Whoops, apologies for the misinformation

>>29582017
Yes, it's permanent. So break the shell before you catch one

>>29582030
I forgive you, just this once

>>29582059
I'm actually happier that I'm wrong, The way I though made getting a black one nigh impossible

>>29582017
Nope, each one stays how it is like Flabebe. You can only tell the color when you bust the shell

>>29582059
Interesting. Do you have a source on the permanent color? I would love to play through Sun with a purple core.

Let's pray for U-Turn.

>>29582097
No official source but it seems like the most likely outcome. How would the shiny version work if Minior changed color every time it came out in battle since there's only one shiny?

Seems more likely that it's a random color for each individual Minior

>>29582457

I wanna catch one and name it Prism.

It badly needs an evolution, like most of this gen.

>>29582756
We can't really say that until we know the BST

>>29582457
I prefer hot pink.

If Minior's shell breaks, how does it put it back? It's not a psychic type, and I doubt its trainers carry super glue all the time.

What would a Minior taste like?

Shiny hunting will be kinda annoying since the shell gives no signs of being shiny.

>>29582889
It absorbs minerals and shit. Or it just grows back.

>>29583016
It'll still have that little shiny animation at the start.

>>29583050
Yup. So 100% focus or lots of paranoia haha

>>29582889
Psychic would be its third type if the game mechanics allowed it.

>>29582716
Because ghost ships are extinct and associated with spirits in Hawaiian culture and red oni and blue oni in Japanese folklore.

>>29582889

Just check if it has the little red star after hatching or if wild, break its shell..

>>29577920
Carbink has 500 and it's a single stage mon.

>>29577571
Why would it have sub 400 BST?

>>29586224
True, but this actually makes the process a lot more drawn-out and annoying. This will be one of the most prized shinies.

>>29586224

Dont shinies have a little blue sparkling effect when they appear in battle?

>>29577405
I wonder, will that actually force it into its second form or just have the same effect as usual ?

>>29586269
...but that 500 is entirely in defense, spec. defense and HP. It has a crap movepool and at best can wall for a few rounds before using explosion.

>>29577405
I liked it all the time and only yesterday I realized it has it.

>>29580411
These anons are right, had both pokemon and they were dead weight. But if you have a team full of pokemon their level of wuality, they become usable

>>29586819
Lapras is a shitmon and has 535 BST.

>>29586466
Which is what Minior is also gonna be, at least before Shield's Down activates. All that defense afterwards goes into Atk, SpAtk and Speed. That's why everyone's saying it will be the new Aegislash or that's Zen Mode done right.

>>29580411
Liepard is pretty shit, but it can be respectable (though not good) if you run Fake Out (free damage, fucks over all those obnoxious Sturdy Boldores), Grass Knot, Return and Night Slash.

BW2 makes it a lot more solid with access to more coverage and powerful options.
