Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Minun Line’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Minun places the well-being of its teammates above its own, releasing showers of sparks as it cheers for them. When its partner is in danger, it produces even more sparks. It can create electric pom-poms to use for cheering, and its electrical current is said to improve blood circulation while energizing whoever it targets. Minun lives in grasslands and savannas, but it dislikes water and will shelter beneath the eaves of houses when it rains. It is often seen alongside Plusle. According to Pokémon Sleep, Minun is known to emit sparks while asleep, and it is believed that it may dream of cheering for others with all its strength.

Prior to Generation V, Minun was the only known Pokémon that could have Minus as an Ability.

Name Meaning

The name Minun may come from "minus," likely referencing a negative electrical charge. It may also incorporate "bun" or "bunny."

Powers and Techniques







Equipment

Wood Mail

  • Description: The Wood Mail (Japanese: ウッディメール Woody Mail) is a type of Mail exclusive to the Generation III games.
  • Usage: Used as a held item. The player writes the message when giving this item to be held by a Pokémon. The message can be sent to other games of the same generation by trading the Pokémon holding this item.
  • Function: It contains a message with up to nine words and phrases using the predefined list from the easy chat system, structured as four rows of two slots and a fifth row with one slot. The message remains available as long as this item is held by a Pokémon or stored in the Mailbox. This item is unable to have any message when stored in the Bag or in the Item Storage System, but there is the option to delete any existing message when storing this item in these places. Once the message is deleted from this item, the player is able to reuse it with a new message. A Pokémon holding this item cannot be placed in the PC, in the Pokémon Day Care, traded to Pokémon Colosseum or XD: Gale of Darkness, or transferred to Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire or into Generation IV games through the Pal Park. This item can be removed by Knock Off. However, it cannot be stolen by Covet or Thief.

Cell Battery

  • Description: The Cell Battery (Japanese: じゅうでんち Charge Battery) is a type of held item introduced in Generation V. It raises the holder's Attack when it is hit by a damaging Electric-type move.
  • Usage: Used as a held item.
  • Function: If the holder is hit by an Electric-type damaging move, it consumes the Cell Battery and its Attack is increased by one stage. It does not activate if the holder already has +6 Attack stat stages (unless its Ability is Contrary, in which case it will not activate if the holder has -6 Attack stat stages). It does not activate if the holder is protected from or unaffected by the Electric-type move (e.g. due to Motor Drive or being Ground-type). If multiple Pokémon each holding a Cell Battery are hit by an Electric-type move at once, each hit Pokémon will consume its Cell Battery before Symbiosis transfers any item (including Cell Batteries).

Notable Techniques

Minus

Minun's special attack is boosted when in the vicnity of a user of the Plus ability.

The thaw out chance ranges from generation, in Generation 2 the thaw out chance is a 25/256 chance. In Generation 3, the thaw out chance is 20% each turn. In Pokémon Champions, the thaw out chance is 25% each turn.

Paralysis Has a chance of preventing any action in battle and lowers speed stat. Usually caused by Electric type skills, it lasts indefinitely without external help, any ability like shed skin, or a move like rest. In later games, attacking a shocked enemy is guaranteed to cause a critical hit. Paralysis in general has a 25% chance of having a Pokémon be unable to attack asides from Pokémon Champions. In Generation 1, paralysis reduces a Pokemon's speed by 75% rounded down due to a stats modification glitch (along with this, using moves like agility would return the dropped speed to normal and double it and the speed drop would stay even after being cured of Paralysis using an item or through Rest). In Generation 2, the irregularities are fixed. In Generations 7 and 8 the paralysis reduces the Pokémon's speed by 50%. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the paralysis is changed to reduce the affected Pokémon's movement speed during battle. In Pokémon Champions, paralyzed Pokémon have a 12.5% chance to be fully paralyzed.

Poison Depletes health at the end of each turn, often persisting on the field. In Generation 1 a poisoned Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of their maximum health at the end of every turn. A badly poisoned Pokémon still takes 1/16 of their maximum health at first, however the damage increases by 1/16 each time it takes poison damage. In Generation 2, the damage is lowered to 1/8 of its maximum damage and poison damage taken by a badly poisoned Pokémon doesn't interact with other types of recurrent damage. From Generation 1 to 4 all poisoned Pokémon in a trainer's party loses 1 HP for every four steps taken (in FireRed and LeafGreen it's instead every five steps). In Generation 1 to 3, the poison Pokémon will take poison damage until they faint. In Generation 4, a poisoned Pokémon's HP will be brought to 1 and then they will cure themself of poison.

Trivia

  • Minun shares its category with its partner Plusle. They are both known as the Cheering Pokémon.
  • Minun's first major appearance in the animated series was in episode 312, the same number as its position in the National Pokédex.
  • Minun and Plusle share the same base stat total, although their stat distributions differ, with Plusle being more offense-oriented and Minun being more defense-oriented.
  • Unused text in Pokémon Colosseum suggests that a Shadow Minun was going to appear in the game.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there are several files for unused playable characters. One of these files is named "Pra_Ma," leading some players to speculate that Plusle and Minun were considered to appear as a tag team, similar to the Ice Climbers.
  • Minun was featured as a disc shooter in the 2006 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys.
  • Minun appears to be based on a cheerleading mouse, chipmunk, or rabbit. It could also be the incarnation of a negative electric charge.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't at least late game Pokémon get Faster Than Light due to being able to dodge solar beam?

A: Solar beam is absorbing light and then shooting out a blast, it is not a light speed attack but an energy blast that absorbs light energy. On top of this, Pokémon cannot dodge this move without lowering the opponents accuracy or raising their own speed. Dazzling Gleam is a flash of light that is also 100% accuracy. Flash which is a literal flash of light is 100% accuracy. So it's clear light speed attacks are generally unmissable unless their accuracy drop or a character ups their speed to make it harder to tag them. Further examples of them not being this speed, Dragonite is pretty consistently stated in its pokedex as an impressive speed feat for it to circle the globe in 16 hours, and Garchomp is treated as impressive for being able to keep up with planes and fly at sonic speeds.

    Junichi Masuda: We created Platinum with a new method of determining the game's direction that was based on the image of one Pokémon - Giratina. When I imagined Giratina, the idea of a "reversed world" came to my mind. I thought of concepts such as "E=mc2" and matter and antimatter. There is no top or bottom, no left or right. We increased the number of developers for Diamond and Pearl, so we wanted to clarify the game concepts for the team before we started the project Its better to hammer out the overall vision of the game first, and then all the team members will work towards that vision by throwing out ideas. The concept of "ultimate" was what we started out with for this title."
