Shields Down

Transforms this Minior between Core Form and Meteor Form. Prevents major status ailments and drowsiness while in Meteor Form.

How it works

When this Pokémon enters battle and at the end of each turn, if its HP is 50% or above, it changes into Meteor Form; otherwise, it changes into Core Form. In Meteor Form, it cannot be given a major status ailment (though existing ones are not cured), cannot become drowsy from Yawn, and cannot use Rest (which will simply fail).

This ability cannot be copied, replaced, or nullified. This ability only takes effect for Minior.

Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
