[SET COMMENTS]
Miraidon's devastating offensive prowess further enhanced by Life Orb and Calm Mind makes it one of the best wallbreakers, easily punching holes through the sturdiest of defensive cores. Electro Drift obliterates Flying- and Water-types like Ho-Oh, Arceus-Water, and Kyogre while also outright OHKOing Calyrex-S, Zacian-C and offensive Necrozma-DM. Draco Meteor provides a way to hit Ground-types such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Ground, and Clodsire and other Dragon-types like opposing Miraidon, Koraidon and Eternatus. Agility prevents Miraidon from getting revenge killed by faster threats like Choice Scarf Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S. Alternatively, Overheat OHKOes the rare Iron Treads, which can otherwise tank a few hits from Miradon.The Speed investment lets Miraidon outspeed neutral nature Arceus formes. Tera Stellar boosts Miraidon's STABs to unfathomable levels, with +1 Tera Stellar Draco Meteor OHKOing special walls like Ting-Lu, specially defensive Tera Grass Ho-Oh, Clodsire and 2HKOing Blissey. On the other hand, Tera Dragon retains the ability to use strengthened Draco Meteor multiple times at the cost of being unable to OHKO Arceus-Fairy with Electro Drift unboosted.

Calm Mind Miraidon is a stellar pick on bulky offense and hyper offense teams, being able to single-handedly break through stall teams and heavily pressure the defensive backbone. Teammates like Swords Dance Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, Koraidon, and Zacian-C appreciate Miraidon for threatening their defensive switch-ins such as Alomomola, Skeledirge, and Dondozo. In return, they threaten Miraidon's common answers like Ting-Lu, Blissey, and Clodsire. Furthermore, Miraidon overwhelms Ting-Lu and deals massive damage to Arceus which is particularly beneficial for Calyrex-S, as it is able to snowball late-game with its walls weakened. On hyper offense teams, suicide leads like Glimmora, Deoxys-S, and Ribombee, can support Miraidon with hazards. Grimmsnarl provides screens, which allows Miraidon to safely set up. Due to Life Orb recoil and not holding Heavy-Duty Boots, Miraidon is worn down over the course of the game. Hence, Hatterene is an excellent partner that prevents hazards from going up and can bring in Miraidon safely with Baton Pass or even pass it Calm Mind boosts. Faster threats such as Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, and Choice Scarf Koraidon can force Miraidon out or deal heavy damage to it. Thus, Arceus-Water and Landorus-T that can take on Koraidon and Zacian-C make up for good teammates. Similarly, Ting-Lu checks Calyrex-S and opposing Miraidon and can set up Spikes to aid Miraidon in breaking.
