Minun is cream-colored bipedal Pokémon with blue markings. It has a dot-like nose, and a cream-colored minus sign in the middle of its circular blue cheeks. It has long, flat ears that are mostly blue. Its limbs are stubby and digitless, and it has blue front paws. Its short tail is tipped with a blue minus sign.
Minun cares more for its teammates than itself, sending off showers of sparks when it cheers for them. When its partner is in trouble, it gives off increasing amounts of sparks. It can create electric pom-poms for cheering. Its electrical current promotes blood circulation and energizes its target. It lives in grasslands and savannas. However, it will hide under the eaves of houses when it rains due to its dislike of water.
In Destiny Deoxys, a Minun and Plusle served as the movie's comic relief. The pair helped Tory Lund to overcome his fear of Pokémon. Both briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies.
A Minun appeared in CCP09, in which it competed in a CutenessContest along with its rival Plusle and Haruka's Torchic. It ended up in second place, having lost to Plusle.
In the Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission manga
Much like the games, Lunick has a Minun as his Partner Pokémon, which is the counterpart to Solana's Plusle. He can boost Lunick's Capture Styler with electricity.

To cheer, they short their electric currents to produce sparks that grow in intensity as their partners get into trouble."

4 ? M 9 F Q X ? 2 8 N 7
H R ? H P 5 ? 0 ! 4 ? W
Objective: Escort Minun to Plusle on floor 7 of Mt. Blaze.
Minun shares its category with its partner Plusle. They are both known as the Cheering Pokémon.
Minun and Plusle have the same base stats, although the stat distribution is different with Minun being more defense-oriented and Plusle being more offense-oriented.
Minun's first major appearance in the anime was in episode 312, the same number as its position in the National Pokédex.
Unused text in Pokémon Colosseum suggests that a Shadow Minun was going to appear in the game.
