Shiny Minior Location (Anywhere)

Pokemon SV - Shiny Minior Shiny Core

Each Minior color variant has the same shiny color and, therefore, can be found in any location in the Terarium where Minior can spawn.

How to Find Shiny Minior

Note that the Meteor Form of a Shiny Minior and a Non-Shiny one are identical. There are mainly two ways of identifying a Shiny Minior without having them change into their Core Form.

One way to spot a Shiny Meteor is to have your active Pokemon in Auto-Battle Mode. Your Pokemon will automatically battle any nearby Pokemon except for shiny Pokemon. If your Pokemon refuses to fight a specific Minior, it is likely a Shiny one.

A slower and safer method is to individually battle each Minior and look for the shiny effect the Minior should have at the start of the battle as any shiny Pokemon has. This method is safer if you're searching for a Shiny Minior in a Mass Outbreak where you want to stop battling Pokemon.

If you are planning on catching a Shiny Minior, be sure to have a way to disable Minior's Explosion or Self-destruct moves with effects such as the Damp ability, as those moves will cause them to faint and end the encounter.

How to Shiny Hunt at Mass Outbreaks

How to Catch Minior

Use a Quick Ball

Item Effect
Quick Ball ImageQuick Ball A Poke Ball that makes it easier to catch Pokemon earlier in the battle. If used within the first turn, the capture rate is 5x, if not the capture rate is 1x.

The most common moves that Minior would use during the first turn are either Self-Destruct or Explosion, which immediately causes them to faint. It is best to use a Quick Ball on the first turn to have an increased chance of catching it before the encounter ends with the mentioned moves.

List of All Poke Balls and How to Get

Use a Pokemon with the Damp Ability

Ability Effect
Damp Prevents the use of explosive, self-destructing moves while the user is in the battlefield.

To counter Minior's Self-Destruct and Explosion moves and prevent it from ending the battle early, fight against it with a Pokemon with the Damp ability. This ability disables such moves and gives you more time to prepare to catch it.

This strategy is best used when hunting a Shiny Minior.
