Where To Find Minior in The Indigo Disk (Scarlet and Violet)
While Minior does not appear to have a known habitat, according to the Pokedex in-game, it can still be found in several different locations. Each of its forms has different spots where they can be found, though.
Having a picnic and boosting the encounter rates for Rock-type Pokemon will make even more Miniors appear. For help on what ingredients may be needed, please refer to this guide on sandwiches in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
These are all the different forms that can be found for Minior and their locations:
- Red Core – Torchlit Labyrinth
- Violet Core – Polar Biome
We managed to find a Violet Core Minior in a cave near the Polar Outdoor Classroom 2. Jump from the fast travel point and face east/southeast. You’ll see the cave if you turn around and face where the classroom is.
- Orange Core – Canyon Biome
- Green Core – Coastal Biome
- Yellow Core – Chargestone Cavern in Polar Biome
- Blue Core – Polar Biome
- Indigo Core – Coastal Biome
We found the Indigo Core Minior in the cave near the northeastern bridge in the Coastal Biome. We have screenshots below of its location:

Tips for Catching Minior
As mentioned, Minior has seven different forms and can be found in the wild. The best way to find each one is to encounter them with a Pokemon that has False Swipe. Once bringing the wild Pokemon’s health low enough without fainting, Minior will activate its ability, revealing the color of the core underneath. Repeatedly encountering and checking which form the Minior is will be the best way, unless trading with a friend that happens to have the form you are interested in.
