Set Details
========
- Miraidon uses its high Speed and Special Attack to deal huge amounts of damage to almost the entire metagame. Miraidon's high damage output allows it to threaten to OHKO opposing Restricted Pokemon such as the Calyrex formes, Koraidon, and Kyogre, forcing defensive play around it.
- Volt Switch gives Miraidon the option to pivot out, dealing good chip damage while also getting an ally into a more advantageous position. Dazzling Gleam gives Miraidon a spread damage option while threatening the Dragon-types that resist Volt Switch and Electro Drift.
- Choice Specs boosts Miraidon's damage even further. The damage boost from Choice Specs when paired with a Modest nature allows Miraidon to OHKO non-specially defensive Calyrex-I with Draco Meteor or Electro Drift in Electric Terrain and Calyrex-S with Draco Meteor even if Electric Terrain isn't active.
-A Modest nature guarantees that Tera Fairy Dazzling Gleam OHKOes all Miraidon not running an Assault Vest, while a Timid Nature lets Miraidon outspeed all Zamazenta-C and gives it the best chance to outspeed opposing Miraidon.
- Tera Fairy boosts Dazzling Gleam's damage while also granting Miraidon an immunity to Dragon-type attacks from opposing Miraidon and Raging Bolt.
Teambuilding
=========
- Miraidon is very hard to check defensively, so most counterplay tries to outspeed and threaten it with an OHKO or a large amount of damage. Chien-Pao ties Miraidon in Speed and threatens to hit it for super effective damage while removing Electric Terrain with Ice Spinner. Calyrex-I threatens Miraidon once Trick Room has been set up.
- Rillaboom is a nuisance for Miraidon, resisting Volt Switch and Electro Drift while overriding Miraidon's Electric Terrain.
- Incineroar helps into Chien-Pao and Calyrex-I, as Intimidate and Parting Shot reduce Chien-Pao's damage and Will-O-Wisp is able to weaken even Clear Amulet Calyrex-I. Farigiraf also pairs well with Miraidon. Since Miraidon is unable to use Protect, Farigiraf can block Fake Out and boost Miraidon's damage even further with Helping Hand, letting it OHKO Rillaboom with Draco Meteor. Iron Hands pairs well with Farigiraf to give Miraidon teams a Trick Room mode. Miraidon also activates Iron Hand's Quark Drive, boosting its damage. Iron Hands can use Fake Out to give Miraidon a chance to attack without having to worry about taking a hit in return.
- Grimmsnarl and Whimsicott can provide speed control for Miriadon with Thunder Wave and Tailwind, respectively, while also providing damage reduction through Light Screen from both and Reflect from Grimmsnarl. Whimsicott can also use Encore to punish foes that use Protect in front of Miraidon's offensive pressure.
- For Restricted Pokemon partners, Calyrex-I threatens the Grass-, Dragon-, and Ground-types that resist or are immune to Miraidon's Electric-type attacks. Ho-Oh threatens to OHKO Rillaboom and sets Tailwind for Miraidon, allowing it to outspeed the entire metagame if they don't have their own Tailwind set. Lunala pairs well with Miraidon as a bulky Trick Room setter that punishes faster foes that try to outspeed and threaten Miraidon.
