October’s event window
The Orionids Minior Shower runs October 19, 2026 at 5 p.m. through October 24 at 11:59 p.m., local time. Minior can appear in Meteor Form in the wild.
Encounter chances increase from 5–9 p.m. each day during the shower. That boost sits inside the longer event window; it does not guarantee a sighting.

Do not expect every color at once
Core colors debut across different showers. December’s Geminids includes separate Northern and Southern Hemisphere debuts. The announcement does not assign October’s color.

What remains unverified here
The checked announcement gives no numerical encounter odds, Shiny availability, research reward breakdown or ticket requirement. We have not independently verified those details. Check the official event page and your in-game notices before planning around them.
