As part of the Power Plant ongoing event in Pokemon GO, you might have noticed the abundance of electric-type Pokemon swarming your local surroundings. That includes Minun, who also happened to be the Spotlight Hour feature on January 25th. Did you manage to take part? If not, don’t worry! Minun will continue to be making appearances all around for the duration of the Power Plant (Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time).

Minun is a regional Electric Pokémon. It is vulnerable to Ground moves. Minun’s strongest moveset is Spark & Thunderbolt and it has a Max CP of 1,694. This Pokémon is only found in Europe, Asia, Australasia.

Can you encounter a shiny Minun in-game? Yes! You can find a shiny Minun which will be a light neon green instead of blue. We can all exhale a collective sigh of disappointment as we scold GameFreak for not making shiny Minun Plusle’s colours and vice versa. Well either way, you’ve gotten yourself a three-star shiny Minun, now what? Well you’d better make sure you’ve got the best moveset for Minun, making the most of this rather small electric type.

Best moveset for Minun

The best moves for Minun are Spark and Thunderbolt when attacking Pokémon in Gyms. This move combination has the highest total DPS and is also the best moveset for PVP battles.

There you have it for Minun’s moveset, hopefully you’ll have gotten yourself a shiny one. Although it’s a small and relatively weak Pokemon, it might still be a good asset to your team. If not, it’s certainly cute!
