When Do Pokémon Go Minior Showers Occur?

Background: Minior is a timed Pokémon Go event encounter

Minior in Pokémon Go is presented as a time-limited event encounter. The event material says the brown Meteor Form appears in the wild between 5 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. local time during the meteor showers listed in the event material. Players are told to look for that brown Meteor Form, not the coloured core version of Minior.

The coloured core forms matter because the source gives Green Core Minior as an example: to catch Green Core Minior, players need to be playing Pokémon Go in the evenings between October 19 and October 24. If that window is missed, the options are to trade for Green Core Minior or wait until the next year.

Development: shooting stars mark the 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. spawn boost

Within the general meteor shower window, the event gives players a narrower bonus period. Minior has increased spawn rates between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. local time on every day during each meteor shower. The event also adds an in-game cue: shooting stars appear, so players can tell when this bonus is active.

This creates a practical timeline. First, players can find Minior in its Meteor Form between 5 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. local time during the meteor showers. Second, the source highlights increased spawn rates between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. local time during each meteor shower. Third, players targeting Green Core Minior need to focus on October 19 to October 24 evenings.

Current stage: the first Minior Shower is occurring this week

The event description says the first Minior Shower is occurring this week. For players who want to see what is happening this month, the source points them to the October schedule if they are already looking ahead. It also reminds players to keep an eye out for both the rarest Pokémon and the best Pokémon in their travels.

At the current stage, the event is defined by its first Minior Shower week and by the October evening window for Green Core Minior. The brown Meteor Form remains the wild encounter to look for, and the 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time shooting stars are the clearest signal that the spawn boost is active.
