  "account": "Minior, the meteor Pokémon, has made its debut in Pokémon Go, but it will only be available during real-life meteor showers. These rare occurrences happen throughout the year, with a higher chance of sightings in the evening. To help players track down these creatures, a Minior schedule has been provided.\n\nThe next Minior Shower in Pokémon Go begins on October 19 and continues until October 24. During this period, Minior can be found more frequently from 5 to 9 p.m. local time on the listed days. The availability of Minior varies based on the specific meteor shower event, as different core colors debut during various showers. However, the types of cores are not yet known.\n\nMinior possesses a brown shell and a colorful core, which can come in a variety of colors. These cores appear during specific meteor showers, but their exact timing remains uncertain. The Pokémon has two battle forms - Meteor Form and Core Form. In Meteor Form, Minior's brown shell is up, providing higher defense but lower attack. After losing 50% of its HP, the shell breaks off, revealing the core, which in turn grants Minior higher attack but lower defense. As of now, players can only switch between these forms in PvP battles against Team Go Rocket members and team leaders. The following Minior Showers are scheduled with each event starting at 5 p.m. and ending at 11:59 p.m. local time on the final day.",
