As I'm sure most of you know, Minior is rather difficult to obtain, seeing as the only way it can currently be obtained is either through breeding (which takes a very long time) or buying from another user. After discussing it with Riako, we wanted to find a way to release it through a site-wide event once again. Here's what I propose:

The idea that first popped into my head was to release it in a way similar to how Shaymin is released. To elaborate, I was thinking the event could be something like this:
Every one-hundred years, a rare meteor shower arises, right above Emera. After careful inspection, scientists discovered that these weren't just any ordinary meteors: they're a rare species of Pokémon, now called Minior! However, these mysterious Pokémon aren't any ordinary Pokémon...there's a special core enclosed in their rocky exterior. Minior only shows itself to trainers it strongly trusts...will you be one of them?

So how does the event work?

After a user makes a random amount of interactions, a Minior sprite will appear in their userbar (similar to the Shaymin event.) The chances of getting a core form will be lower than getting the meteor form, but the more interactions a user makes, the higher the chance of getting a core! As long as a user is interacting, they can continue getting Miniors in their userbar.


That's the base idea that I have. If you guys have any other ideas, don't hesitate to leave them in a reply!

That's a pretty good idea, I do have a couple questions to further it. Would it become a random chance shiny like how Shaymin is when you receive one, instead of working in a chain? Or would it work like Hoopa where every ?? number is shiny?

And would it be an all the time encounter or a yearly event? I'm not sure minior is something you should only be able to get for a few weeks a year, since it's needed for the Alola dex, the price would probably skyrocket if it were a single annual event.

I love the idea! It's like Kyurem, right?
We all know, there will be users trying to get their hands on shinies. And for one poor user it didn't worked out by the shaymin event. How about after a lot , and I mean a lot of interacting, there will be a set number in the system, that allows user giving out a shiny version? Maybe around 500k~? And then another 500k~ for a shiny core version? Also what works fine with me, if the shiny rate goes up by 50% or more. In case for some reasins, we can't have a set number.
This is just an idea I have, because I don't want to see the ppl close to me sad again, after making so many interactions but never getting a shiny.

I'd argue they breed Meteor forms easy enough to chain, but the cores are awful to breed allegedly so i'd like to see those having a sufficiently great shiny chance for maybe some high interaction likelihood or something. And the idea of it isnt that theyre only available for a brief time because you can still breed them, so it being a sort of every so often thing isnt too bad an idea as a distribution.

@Nima my original idea was that it would be a random shiny chance, although i don't see why a higher amount of interactions couldn't help increase the chance of hatching a shiny ! as for how often it would be, that would honestly probably just be up to riako

maybe during the meteor shower weather you can have a chance to wonder on a page where you find one that's crashed similar to finding drifloon?

I'm fine with this, but I'd also rather them be put into the lab with a regular rarity. Just a personal preference; either way is fine, though.

I like the idea, especially using this to generate more interactions sound like win-win :D

another idea would be to probaby dont make it an seasonal event (like shaymin/kuyrem,zeraora) but instead make it depending on weather (similiar like thunderstorms have an effect on the beach)...and i think there is one type of weather that might fit quite well ;D

anyways thats just an additional idea from me and im overall supporting any interaction-related event/re-release of minior :)

I like this idea! I'm trying to finish my Alola Dex, which means I need all the minor colours.

The interaction event is a good idea, seeing as it's encouraging me to sacrifice my hands for a Pokemon. Maybe it also has a random chance of hatching a random minor colour?
I do private rps! Send me a PM if interested!

I like this, adding on to Zarkeshs weather idea, maybe there could be a rare meteor shower weather represented by a Minior, and having them crash land on pages occasionally like zuramaru suggested.

@StonksX

I think there's a meteor shower castform weather already???? not sure

EDIT:

yes there is, its called "Meteorites" in the PH wiki. All Dragon type pokemon gain 50% more exp.
