MINIOR (METEOR)

This was a request from a customer from Etsy, along all 8 versions of Minior Core. The Meteor version of Minior is essentially a shell for the Cores. Unlike most Pokemon, there is no Shiny version of the Meteor version. There is only a Shiny version of the Core. The pattern for the Cores, including a separate pattern for the Shiny version, will be coming soon. The hardest part of making Minior and the Cores was getting them to be the size of a softball. I went out and bought a softball so that I compare sizes while making Minior Meteor version.
