What would be the best set for this thing? Im thinking either

>>30394894
Adamant shell smash. It's already fast enough that it doesn't need Jolly. Weakness policy is nice in theory but if you don't get hit by a SE move acrobatics is useless and fishing for SE moves is dangerous as fuck.

>>30394894
Adamant or Naive (for a mixed set). Shell Smash white herb on both, because acrobatics is that good.

Minior-Meteor @ White Herb
Ability: Shields Down
EVs: 168 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Shell Smash

meteor form beats incarnate genies after shell smash, core form beats pheromosa while being +1 such as from stick web and also beats scarf 130s. 48 speed would at least let you beat garchomp in meteor form.
every thread until you like it

>>30394984
It also beats max speed 85s while unboosted in core form in case you get phazed or can't setup, but you may want to up that a little bit to beat things like jolly nonscarf excadrill and lando-t

He's built to be a mixed attacker

What's a good nature for a mixed attacker

I don't want to lower defense or speed

Maybe a neutral nature would be good

>>30394943
The extra power from adamant with shell smash seems a bit overkill though. Wouldn't it be better to have the extra speed so it can outspeed more pokemon?

>>30395596
Jolly is also better for a suicide lead since it can get both self destruct and stealth rocks off more reliably. Adamant might still be better though, since i cant be fucked messing around with the calcs right now.

Stone edge was nerfed to only a 100 BP and still %85 accurate

Your better off sticking with Power gem while keeping acrobatics for physical

Plus it'll catch those fuckers thinking they can use a special wall

How do you know when you get a shiny

Does the outside still shine or do you have to beat it's shell

>>30395356
Naive for mixed.

>>30397526

You think it's worth sacrificing special defense?

3 of his weaknesses, Water, Electric and Ice, are mostly special attacks

Whereas steel and rock are barely used as actual attacks

I think the better nature would be Hasty

>>30397614

Not him but the majority of the metagame are physical attackers

>>30397614
Rock is common though.

>>30394943
Jolly is better brah
It can get outsped if you dont trigger its ability

Just wanna say, Minior is a fucking fantastic mon. Probably my fav this gen.
Great design, reminds me of old school pokemon.

>>30397462
It sparkles

>>30395356
Physical is better for EVs. Once you shell smash your SpA is irrelevant. You'll only use power gem where its super effective and it will one shot basically anything.
For everything else I use acrobatics or earthquake. So physical is more valuable.

>>30397802
It's great since people wrote it off as a gimmicky shitmon when it was revealed. It's one of the [spoilers]cutest[/spoilers] mons this gen.

>>30397973
Btw ive played about 30 matches with minior winning about 25 of those with this setup. Dont forget the white herb obviously.
