Pokémon Go Minior Shower schedule

Minior is debuting in Pokémon Go as part of limited meteor shower events, making its appearance tied to specific dates rather than being available all the time. The schedule matters for players hoping to encounter the Pokémon and its different coloured cores, which are being introduced at different events.

The next Minior Shower runs from 19 to 24 October. Minior will appear more often between 5pm and 9pm local time on event days, while each event itself begins at 5pm on its first day and ends at 11.59pm on its last. Its brown shell form has higher defence; after it loses half its HP, the shell breaks to reveal a core form with higher attack, though form changes are currently limited to PvP and battles against Team Go Rocket or team leaders.
