Minior

Description

Minior, designated as card number 99, is a notable entry in the 2023 Pokémon TCG Paradox Rift set. This Basic Fighting-type Pokémon brings a distinct mechanical depth to gameplay through its unique abilities and attacks. The Far-Flying Meteor ability allows for strategic flexibility. Once during your turn, if this Pokémon is on your Bench, you may switch it with your Active Pokémon when attaching an Energy card from your hand. This effect facilitates rapid deployment and board control, making it a valuable asset for deck builders looking to optimize their energy acceleration. Minior's primary attack, Gravitational Tackle, deals damage based on the opponent's Retreat Cost. Specifically, the attack does 20 damage for each Colorless energy in the opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost. This scaling mechanic means that the card's effectiveness can increase significantly against Pokémon with higher retreat costs, providing a versatile offensive option. For collectors, this card represents a key piece of the Paradox Rift expansion. With artwork by OKUBO, the card maintains the high-quality visual standards associated with the Pokémon TCG. Its Uncommon rarity makes it accessible for completing set collections while still holding interest for those who appreciate its unique gameplay mechanics. The card is regulated with the G mark, ensuring its compliance with current tournament standards. Whether you are building a deck around its strategic potential or adding it to your set collection, Minior offers a compelling combination of aesthetic appeal and functional utility.
