Minun PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Minun is a single-stage, pure Electric-type Pokémon. It has a max CP of 1915 and a DPS of around 8.59. Unfortunately, there are many other Electric-type Pokémon that can fit the role of a raid attacker better than Minun.

Minun PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Minun has a max CP of 1915, making it too weak for the Ultra and Master Leagues. It doesn’t perform well in the Great League either, as Minun’s moveset and specific stat combination make it weak to most meta Pokémon, even against Water-types, which it should have an advantage over as a pure Electric-type.

However, Minun does have a better overall stat spread in the Great League compared to its counterpart, Plusle. It also has some limited use cases. For example, it can work in restricted metas, such as the Electric Cup, where it can use Quick Attack to generate energy quickly and deal surprising amounts of damage with Grass Knot.
