[SET COMMENTS]
- Assault Vest allows Miraidon to act as a specially bulky attacker, flipping its matchup against Iron Bundle and Flutter Mane. Parabolic Charge provides a form of recovery. Dazzling Gleam can be used over Draco Meteor and acts as a STAB attack after using Terastallization. U-turn is the best option for the fourth slot and acts as a pivoting move to bring in partners such as Iron Bundle, but Overheat hits Iron Treads for super effective damage.
- The given EV spread and a Modest nature maximizes Miraidon's Special Attack while letting Miraidon avoid the OHKO from Choice Specs Flutter Mane's Moonblast and Choice Specs Iron Bundle's Ice Beam after Stealth Rock damage. The EV spread also avoids the 2HKO from Heavy-Duty Boots Iron Bundle's Freeze-Dry and lets Miraidon outspeed and avoid the 2HKO from Timid Choice Specs Chi-Yu's moves even in sun.
- Tera Fairy lets Miraidon take on opposing Miraidon and removes its weaknesses to Ground-, Fairy-, Ice-, and Dragon-type moves from the likes of Iron Treads, Ting-Lu, Flutter Mane, Iron Bundle, and Koraidon.
- Assault Vest Miraidon should be used to pivot with U-turn and force out foes with its STAB coverage while also taking on special attackers with its additional bulk.
- Miraidon should be paired with entry hazard removal options such as Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Corviknight, as hazards such as Toxic Spikes greatly hinder the utility of Assault Vest. Great Tusk also acts as a check to Koraidon, which can revenge kill this Miraidon set since it does not run maximum Speed, while also threatening out Miraidon's checks such as Iron Treads, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu. Iron Bundle pairs well with Assault Vest Miraidon, as Miraidon can bring it in with U-turn to pressure its checks, while Iron Bundle can clean opposing teams thanks to Electric Terrain and appreciates Miraidon pressuring Corviknight. Hazard setters such as Ting-Lu, Great Tusk, and Clodsire are also greatly appreciated to help wear down Miraidon's checks.
