Minun (マイナン Minun) is an Electric-Type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. Minun is a Pokémon which is best when battling with Plusle in a Double Battle because of the ability Minus. Plusle also powers up when it is fighting with Minun with the ability Plus. When the two are battling on their own, they are much weaker. Plusle and Minun are best friends under any circumstances.
Game Info
There are only two Trainers that use Minun in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Both of these Trainers also have a Plusle. The first Trainer is a Pokéfan, who is the first Trainer who you meet around the area where minun can appear in trees also in Pokemon heartgold and soulsilver they are very rare. This trainer sends out Plusle first, when it is defeated, it sends out Minun. The second Trainers is to the left, at the path which leads to the sea. There are actually two Trainers, but they are twins, so they fight together. The two Pokémon they use, are Plusle and Minun. They are harder to defeat than the previous Trainer, because there abilities make them tougher when fighting together. In Pokémon Emerald, where you meet the first Trainer, you see two trainers instead. When you walk past, both Trainers fight you, they both have a Plusle and they both have a Minun so they are harder to defeat. The Pokémon Trainers that have Minuns usually hold Oran Berries

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
When the Brawl disk was hacked, some coding was found for two characters that mimic the Ice Climber's actions and style of brawling. The coding was titled Pra & Mai, which are the prefixes of the Japanese names of Plusle and Minun, which got a rumor going around about partial Brawl entrance of Plusle and Minun.
- Using the tool Poke Radar when in Trophy Garden (Platinum) in search of Minun or Plusle can help, and make capture easier.
