[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Miraidon is a decent speed control option, wallbreaker, and pivot found on balance and bulky offense teams. Overheat is used to OHKO Zacian-C and is also a midground into Fairy- and Ground-types. Tera Electric boosts the power of Miraidon's Electro Drift, allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S, OHKO Zacian-C without needing Overheat while preventing foes like Arceus from setting up, and deal significant damage to Arceus formes, and it also lets Miraidon take neutral damage from attacks like Arceus-Fairy's Judgment. Tera Dragon boosts the damage of Draco Meteor, allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S, potentially break past Ting-Lu, and, after a layer of Spikes, OHKO uninvested Arceus formes and Kyogre; Tera Dragon also removes Miraidon's weakness to Ground-type moves from Arceus-Ground and Ting-Lu. Tera Ghost provides Miraidon with a much-needed immunity to Arceus's Extreme Speed and Koraidon's Low Kick and a neutrality against all previously super effective attacks. Physical attackers like Swords Dance Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Arceus are great teammates, as Miraidon can switch in on their checks such as Toxapex and Skeledirge and pivot them in on its checks like Ting-Lu in return. Other offensive teammates such as Calm Mind Arceus-Ground and Calyrex-S are also notable partners for Miraidon, as the three of them wear down Ting-Lu for each other, enabling one of them to sweep late-game. Teammates such as Ting-Lu, Skeledirge, Toxapex, Landorus-T, and defensive Arceus formes are appreciated, as they provide Miraidon with refuge from the likes of Choice Scarf Calyrex-S and Extreme Killer Arceus.

Choice Scarf Miraidon is a decent speed control and pivot found in on balance and bulky offense teams. Electro Drift hits most of the metagame for neutral damage and notably OHKOes Calyrex-S after a single layer of Spikes. Draco Meteor does significant damage to Ting-Lu and also hits Pokemon such as opposing Miraidon, Koraidon, and Eternatus. U-turn allows Miraidon to pivot in its teammates against Pokemon such as Ting-Lu and Arceus-Ground. These moves are pretty self explanatory, no need to specify them Overheat is used to OHKO Zacian-C and is also a midground into teams switching between Fairy- and Ground-types. Tera Dragon boosts Draco Meteor, (comma) allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S, 2HKO Ting-Lu and OHKO uninvested Arceus formes, Kyogre after 1 layer of Spikes, while also removing Miraidon's weakness to Ground-type moves from Arceus-Ground and Ting-Lu while also allowing it to take neutral damage from Ground type attacks and OHKO uninvested Arceus formes after one layer of Spikes damage. Tera Electric boosts Miraidon's Electro Drift, allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S, 2HKO Arceus-Fairy after 1 layer of spikes, muscle through Calm Mind Arceus formes at +1 while also taking neutral damage from most attacks. Tera Ghost is also an alternative option to provide defensive utility against Extreme Killer Arceus which can otherwise revenge kill it. Tera Ghost provides Miraidon with a much-needed immunity to Arceus's Extreme speed, Koraidon's Low Kick, while providing it with a neutrality against most types. As Miraidon frees up an item slot for Koraidon, it is now able to run Swords Dance or Choice Band sets, being an excellent partner to Miraidon. Swords Dance Koraidon is a great teammate for Scarf Miraidon, since both of them compliment each other really well, with countering each other's checks such as Skeledirge, Landorus-T and Ting-Lu. Zacian-C and Extreme Killer Arceus are also notable partners, as they are able to threaten and possibly set-up on Miraidon's checks such as Ting-Lu, This isn't very true since Zacian-C always fairs EQ, and to how unlikely it is to happen in an actual game while also appreciating Miraidon threatening their checks. Imo, mention Calyrex-S, Arceus-Ground wearing down Ting-Lu, which enables one of them to sweep Teammates such as Ting-Lu, Skeledirge, Toxapex, Landorus and Defensive Arceus formes are appreciated, as they provide Miraidon with refuge from the likes of Scarf Calyrex-S and Extreme Killer Arceus.

Tera Dragon boosts the damage of Draco Meteor, allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S, 2HKO potentially break past Ting-Lu, (comma) (it definitely doesn't 2HKO) and, (comma) after a layer of Spikes, OHKO uninvested Arceus formes, (comma) and Kyogre after 1 layer of Spikes, (Arceus formes also need a layer of Spikes, and is the Kyogre example even that useful?) ; (semicolon) while also removing Tera Dragon also removes Miraidon's weakness to Ground-type moves from Arceus-Ground and Ting-Lu. Tera Electric boosts the power of Miraidon's Electro Drift, allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S, 2HKO Arceus-Fairy after 1 layer of spikes, (it can do this even without Terastallizing or Spikes) muscle through Calm Mind Arceus formes at +1 while also taking (I'd just say it does more damage to Arceus formes in general) OHKO Zacian-C without giving foes like Arceus a free setup opportunity, and deal significant damage to Arceus formes, and it lets Miraidon take neutral damage from most attacks like Arceus-Fairy's Judgment. Tera Ghost provides Miraidon with a much needed much-needed immunity to Arceus's Extreme Speed and Koraidon's Low Kick, (comma) while providing it with and a neutrality against most types all previously super effective attacks. Swords Dance Koraidon is a great teammate for Scarf Miraidon, since both of them compliment each other really well, with countering each other's checks such as Skeledirge, Landorus-T and Ting-Lu. Zacian-C and Extreme Killer Arceus are also notable partners, as they are able to threaten Ting-Lu while also appreciating Miraidon threatening their checks. Physical attackers like Swords Dance Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Arceus are great teammates for Miraidon, as Miriadon can switch in on their checks such as Toxapex and Skeledirge and pivot them in on its checks like Ting-Lu. (reword as desired; these just don't really need to be separate sentences, and you should mention U-turn/pivoting) Other offensive teammates such as Calm Mind Arceus-Ground and Calyrex-S are preferred also notable partners for Miraidon, as the three of them wear down Ting-Lu for each other, enabling one of them to sweep later late-game. Teammates such as Ting-Lu, Skeledirge, Toxapex, Landorus-T, (comma) and Defensive defensive Arceus formes are appreciated, as they provide Miraidon with refuge from the likes of Choice Scarf Calyrex-S and Extreme Killer Arceus.

Tera Electric boosts the power of Miraidon's Electro Drift, allowing it to OHKO Calyrex-S, OHKO Zacian-C without giving foes like Arceus a free setup opportunity (specify 'withoutneeding overheat' because this is a lot of implied info a new player won't pick up on), and deal significant damage to Arceus formes, and it also lets Miraidon take neutral damage from attacks like Arceus-Fairy's Judgment. (electric is first on the set but mentioned second here, those need to match) Tera Ghost provides Miraidon with a much-needed immunity to Arceus's Extreme Speed and Koraidon's Low Kick and a neutrality against all previously super effective attacks.
