Minun (Japanese: マイナン Minun) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, it does seem to be related to Plusle.

Biology

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 grassy areas. However, it will hide under the eaves of houses when it rains due to its dislike of water.

In the anime

Major appearances

Minun (with Plusle) in the anime

Minun first appeared alongside Plusle in A Different Kind of Misty!. Both Pokémon were owned by Thatcher, who is responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The same Minun and Plusle appear again in Cheer Pressure, where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.

Elijah used Minun and Plusle as actors in Lights, Camerupt, Action!. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Plusle and Minun were setting out to rescue Princess Kirlia from an evil Exploud.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Excess data found on the game disc includes data for seven playable characters cut from the final roster, including Plusle and Minun as a tag team akin to the Ice Climbers. However, in the final version of the game, Minun just appears as a random trophy alongside Plusle.

Trophy Information

It appears with its counterpart, Plusle.

"Cheering Pokémon. Plusle and Minun produce positive and negative energy, respectively. They both love cheering on their partners and place the encouragement of their partners over their own safety. To cheer, they short their electric currents to produce sparks that grow in intensity as their partners get into trouble."

Trivia

  • Minun shares its species name 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.
  • Unused text in Pokémon Colosseum suggests that a Shadow Minun was going to appear in the game.
  • Minun has never appeared in the anime without a Plusle alongside it, unlike Plusle who has appeared alone a few times as Solana's Partner Pokémon.
  • Minun's first major appearance in the anime was in episode 312, the same number as its position in the National Pokédex.

Origin

It appears to be based on a cheerleading mouse, chipmunk or rabbit. It could also be the incarnation of a negative charge.

Name origin

Minun is derived from minus, referring to something with a negative electrical charge.
