Flavor Text |
 | Sun | Originally making its home in the ozone layer, it hurtles to the ground when the shell enclosing its body grows too heavy. |
Moon | Strong impacts can knock it out of its shell. This Pokémon was born from mutated nanoparticles. | Ultra Sun | It lives in the ozone layer, where it becomes food for stronger Pokémon. When it tries to run away, it falls to the ground. | Ultra Moon | Although its outer shell is uncommonly durable, the shock of falling to the ground smashes the shell to smithereens. |  | Sun | It eats dust in the atmosphere. The composition of the dust determines the color of its core. |
Moon | 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. | Ultra Sun | Places where Minior fall from the night sky are few and far between, with Alola being one of the precious few. | Ultra Moon | This is its form when its shell has fallen off. The color of its core depends on the materials that made up the food it ate. |
