[SET COMMENTS]

• Choice Scarf makes Miraidon an effective revenge killer, late-game sweeper, and pivot, taking advantage of its great Speed, naturally amazing offenses, and access to U-turn. Its most important application is being able to outspeed Koraidon, Flutter Mane, opposing Miraidon, Zacian-C, and Speed-boosted Arceus.
• Electro Drift allows Miraidon to hit a lot of Pokemon for neutral damage, most notably Zacian-C and Arceus-Fairy, which are immune to Draco Meteor.
• Draco Meteor is a strong STAB move that allows Miraidon to deal with slower Dragon-types as well as hit a lot of Pokemon for neutral damage, most notably Ground-types.
• Overheat can OHKO Zacian-C, hit foes trying to pivot between Ground- and Fairy-types, and damage neutral targets in sun, which makes it is as strong as Draco Meteor.
• U-turn helps Miraidon pivot out of the Ground-type Pokemon that are used to check it.
• Dragon Pulse can be used instead of Overheat to increase consistency and prevent the opponent from exploiting the drawbacks of Draco Meteor.
• Volt Switch can be used instead of Electro Drift to keep up the momentum after attacking.
• Tera Electric allows Miraidon to power up its Electro Drift and make itself less exploitable, OHKOing Zacian-C and dealing massive damage to most Arceus formes. This is an especially devastating end-game cleanup tool after the opposing Ground-types have been removed.
• Tera Steel gives Miraidon a Normal- and Dragon-type, resistance which allows it to take a hit from Pokemon like Extreme Killer Arceus and opposing Miraidon. Tera Steel also gives it resistances to both of Zacian-C's STAB moves.
• Tera Dragon powers up its Dragon-type attacks, which allows Miraidon to break through Ting-Lu and Clodsire and pick up KOs from higher ranges of health on other neutral targets like Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground.
• This set fits best on balance teams where it can help ease off the pressure from its defensively oriented teammates like Skeledirge, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu by outrunning and forcing your opponent's offensive Pokemon to switch out.
• Miraidon can also help teammates like Zacian-C, Koraidon, Kyogre, and Chien-Pao with U-turn, which would allow them to get into favorable positions such as against Ting-Lu and potentially force your opponent into having to switch again.
• Some teammates that can lure in and weaken Ting-Lu are Eternatus and Toxapex, which can use Toxic and Toxic Spikes, your own Ting-Lu with Ruination, and Giratina-O, which can status and phaze the opposing team with Dragon Tail. This greatly helps Miraidon because Ting-Lu is Miraidon's most common check.

Agree with Situm above.

Personally I'm not sure about Tera Ghost, I feel like Tera Dragon should be slashed instead since it turns your Scarf Miraidon into a Specs Miraidon vs Ting-Lu/Clod which can be clutch sometimes (and you can clean up with DPulse if Fairies are gone).

Some minor stuff:

Overheat functions differently to Miraidon's STAB moves, as it is only meant to be used to hit targets super-effectively, as a midground, or when Harsh Sunlight is active to power it up. This is an alternative way to deal with Zacian-Crowned.

This is correct but it sounds a bit unclear I think; You can just say something like Overheat can OHKO Zacian-C, hit opponents trying to switch around with Ground and Fairy types, and is good in sunlight.

Choice Scarf Miraidon is an excellent form of Speed control which can give your team the ability to respond to the tier's defining offensive threats offensively.

This seems kinda redundant with the first bullet point so I'd remove

Choice Scarf is the defining feature of the set, whose most important application is being able to outspeed Koraidon, Flutter Mane, opposing Miraidon, and Zacian-Crowned.

Again this seems redundant; I think it's fine if you add the bolded part to the first bullet point.

Otherwise looks good
1/2

What are these tera types? There is no mention of either Steel or Ghost in the analysis and my gut reaction on seeing them was that both sound unfathomably niche. I'd much rather the tera types only be the stabs and fire to provide a power boost, especially as a scarfer. 4 slashes is, imo, too many for a scarf set.

Working on it atm

and instead of Draco Meteor in Harsh Sunlight.

rephrase this to make more sense mostly

Also mentions partners that can lure / wear down said grounds. This includes things like specifically hazards and Ruination from Ting-Lu / Dragon Tail from Gira / toxic spikes or toxic from Eternatus, etc, i'm sure you know what I mean here.

QC 2/2
