[edit] 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 Pokefan, who is the first Trainer who you meet around the area where Minun can appear. 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.

[edit] Ruby

Minun is more concerned about cheering on its partners than its own safety. It shorts out the electricity in its body to create brilliant showers of sparks to cheer on its teammates.

[edit] Sapphire

MINUN loves to cheer on its partner in battle. It gives off sparks from its body while it is doing so. If its partner is in trouble, this POKeMON gives off increasing amounts of sparks.

[edit] Emerald

At a meeting of POKeMON academics, it was announced that simultaneous exposure to electricity from a PLUSLE and MINUN will promote circulation and boost vitality.

[edit] Diamond and Pearl

It cheers on friends. If its friends are losing, its body lets off more and more sparks.

[edit] 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.
