Green Core Minior Means Fans Officially Have Limited Time to Catch the Franchise’s Newest Addition Before Saturday’s Deadline

Minior’s first appearance

Minior debuted in Pokémon GO during the Orionids event, which began October 19. The Meteor Pokémon appears in the wild in its Meteor Form, and Green Core Minior is introduced during this event.

The first appearance window ends Saturday, October 24, at 11:59 p.m. local time, according to the official announcement. That gives players until then to encounter Minior during the event.

A return in November

Minior’s next scheduled appearance is during the Leonids event, which starts November 14 at 5 p.m. local time and ends November 19 at 11:59 p.m. Minior has seven core colors, with different colors scheduled to debut across meteor-shower events. While the November event offers another chance to encounter Minior, the article does not confirm that Green Core Minior will appear again.

Meteor showers in the game

The event schedule connects Minior’s appearances to real-world meteor showers. During designated hours, shooting stars also appear in the game’s sky. For players, the events provide another reason to head out for an evening walk. Collectors tracking Minior’s different core colors have multiple scheduled appearances to watch for.
