Double Dance Miraidon is an excellent sweeper thanks to its great ability, movepool, and Special Attack and Speed stats. Agility lets Miraidon outspeed all Pokemon in the metagame, including Choice Scarf users such as Calyrex-S and Koraidon. Parabolic Charge lets Miraidon heal itself, making it harder to revenge kill. Dazzling Gleam and Dragon Pulse both hit Dragon-types such as Koraidon, opposing Miraidon, and Giratina-O, but Dazzling Gleam should be used with Tera Fairy and hits Ting-Lu harder, while Dragon Pulse should be used with Tera Dragon and is less reliant on Terastallizing to beat other Ground-types and Eternatus. Leftovers increases Miraidon's overall longevity, while Electric Seed improves its matchup against physical attackers such as Arceus, Zacian-C, and Koraidon, but is single-use. Tera Fairy is great defensively, letting Miraidon set up on Pokemon such as Koraidon, Giratina-O, Arceus-Ground, and opposing Miraidon; it also lets Dazzling Gleam 2HKO Ting-Lu with a layer of Spikes and Arceus-Ground at +1. Tera Dragon is used to remove Miraidon's Ground weakness and boost Dragon Pulse's damage, letting it 2HKO Clodsire and Ting-Lu and OHKO offensive Arceus-Ground at +1 after a layer of Spikes. 92 Speed EVs let Miraidon outpace Choice Scarf Calyrex-S after Agility. Miraidon fits best on bulky offense and hyper offense teams, which try to overwhelm the opposing team. Dual screens let Miraidon set up more easily and make it harder to revenge kill, so Grimmsnarl is a great teammate on hyper offense teams. Miraidon also appreciates entry hazards from Pokemon such as Landorus-T and Glimmora, which can put Pokemon into its KO range. Miraidon can struggle to break through walls such as Clodsire and Ting-Lu, so it pairs well with other offensive Pokemon such as Calyrex-S, Calm Mind Arceus-Ground, and Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy, which can pressure the aforementioned walls for Miraidon. In return, Miraidon can weaken the same walls for these teammates to pick up on. Koraidon and Zacian-C threaten Ting-Lu and lure in physically defensive walls such as Toxapex and Skeledirge for Miraidon to set up against; Miraidon, Koraidon, and Zacian-C can also weaken defensive Arceus-Ground for each other.
