You do not want to be trapped by Miraidon! The combination of Thunder Cage and Encore allows Miraidon to eliminate numerous foes that have locked themselves into the wrong move. It is particularly effective when facing most RegenVest Pokemon, easily eliminating them if they attempt to use moves such as Stone Axe and Knock Off. Dragon Energy, boosted by Life Orb, serves as a powerful STAB attack that punishes Imposter users and opposing Dragon-types like Eternatus, and Strength Sap helps maintain its power. Magic Guard negates Life Orb's recoil along with entry hazards damage and other residual damage from the likes of Poison status and Salt Cure, increasing Miraidon's resilience. Miraidon synergizes well with other special attackers, such as Mega Gardevoir, Arceus-Ghost, and Flutter Mane, as they can break down shared checks such as Ice Scales Mega Audino and RegenVest users. Knock Off support from RegenVest teammates can remove opposing Assault Vests from Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Dialga-O, allowing Miraidon to 2HKO them. Some possible Imposter-proofs for Miraidon include Magic Guard and Ice Scales Flutter Mane, along with RegenVest Ground-types like Ting-Lu.
