At the start of battle or at the end of a turn, if Minior's HP is above half, it will change into its Meteor Form. At the end of the turn, if its HP is below half, it will change back to its Core Form.
At the start of battle or at the end of a turn, if Minior's HP is above half, it will change into its Meteor Form. At the end of the turn, if its HP is below half, it will change back to its Core Form.


In Meteor Form, it has high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} and cannot be afflicted by [[status condition]]s. In Core Form, it has high {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}.
While in Meteor Form, Minior cannot be afflicted by [[status condition]]s or become drowsy due to {{m|Yawn}}. {{m|Rest}} will fail when used by Minior in Meteor Form. If Core Form Minior is switched in while [[grounded]] (due to [[Iron Ball]], {{m|Gravity}}, or being {{m|Baton Pass}}ed {{m|Ingrain}}), it will be {{status|poison}}ed by {{m|Toxic Spikes}} before Shields Down switches it to Meteor Form.


Shields Down cannot be transferred with {{m|Skill Swap}}, copied with {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}}, changed by {{m|Worry Seed}} or {{m|Simple Beam}}, or suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}. {{a|Mold Breaker}} has no effect on Shields Down. If a Pokémon {{m|Transform}}s into Minior, Shields Down will not be copied.
If Minior gets a status condition while in Core Form and later changes into Meteor Form, the status condition remains in effect.


If Minior gets a status condition while in Core Form and then restores HP to go back to Meteor Form, the status condition still is in effect.
{{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}} fail if the target has the Ability Shields Down. {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} fail if either Pokémon has Shields Down. Shields Down cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}, {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, or {{a|Receiver}}. Shields Down cannot be replaced by {{a|Mummy}} or {{a|Lingering Aroma}}, suppressed by {{m|Core Enforcer}} or {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}, or traded by {{a|Wandering Spirit}}. If a Pokémon other than Minior obtains Shields Down with {{a|Imposter}} or {{m|Transform}}, the Pokémon will not change forms and will not be immune to status conditions (even if it transformed into Meteor Form Minior).


If a Pokémon with {{a|Poison Touch}} uses {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} on a Minior in Core Form, it will not be poisoned.
{{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}}, and {{a|Teravolt}} have no effect on Shields Down. If a Pokémon with {{a|Poison Touch}} uses {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} or its variations on a Minior in Meteor Form, it will not be {{status|poison}}ed.
