Life Orb Miraidon is a potent setup sweeper, leveraging its great power to unleash incredible damage. Agility allows Miraidon to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame. Electro Drift hits most of the tier neutrally and notably OHKOes Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, and Ho-Oh, as well as OHKOing Arceus formes after two layers of Spikes. Solar Beam gives Miraidon a way of hitting Ting-Lu super effectively, though it is hindered by requiring Koraidon's sun. Dragon Pulse hits all Dragon-types in the tier for super effective damage while giving an alternative to chip Ting-Lu. However, due to Miraidon's poor longevity because of Life Orb recoil damage and a vulnerability to entry hazard damage, it can't afford to switch in frequently early in the game. Additionally, an opponent could predict Miraidon's moves and constantly switch to a resisted Pokemon to stall out Electric Terrain. Tera Grass ensures an OHKO on Ting-Lu with Solar Beam after minor chip damage and ensures Miraidon's safe setup against foes such as Eternatus, Miraidon, and Ting-Lu if it doesn't use Whirlwind. Miraidon's EV spread allows it to outspeed the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the tier, Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, after using Agility.

Agility Miraidon is primarily used on two types of teams—hyper offense and bulky offense—as a late-game sweeper once other attackers wear down its checks. On bulky offense, it also has a surprise factor, since an offensive pivot set is much more common on such teams, and an unexpected Agility can quickly turn the tide of a game. However, due to Miraidon's issues with longevity and weakness to entry hazard damage, bulky offense teams using it often run Pokemon such as Magic Bounce Hatterene to stave off hazards or powerful attackers like Choice Specs Kyogre to apply pressure on opposing hazard setters. Miraidon lures in and does great damage to Ting-Lu, one of Calyrex-S's best checks, helping enable a Nasty Plot sweep. Agility Miraidon also lures in Arceus-Ground, which takes a great deal of damage from Solar Beam, and opens up Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Koraidon, which no longer has to worry about Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground using Tera Fairy to set up on it. Similarly, Miraidon's ability to significantly chip Arceus-Fairy when combined with entry hazards helps Koraidon overwhelm and KO it. Miraidon struggles with Ting-Lu before Terastallizing due to the latter's great natural bulk and Electric immunity, and Choice Scarf Koraidon's Outrage threatens to OHKO Miraidon before it uses Agility. Therefore, Arceus-Fairy, Ho-Oh, and Landorus-T are great partners to Agility Miraidon, leveraging their excellent defensive typings and stats to switch into Ting-Lu and Koraidon effectively. Landorus-T's and Choice Scarf Koraidon's U-turns also provide a safe switch in opportunity for Agility Miraidon. Furthermore, Landorus-T checks Zacian-C, which otherwise outspeeds and threatens to OHKO Miraidon with Play Rough before it uses Agility. Ting-Lu is also a stellar partner for Miraidon, as the layers of Spikes it sets are an invaluable aid to a potential sweep.

Agility (Miraidon) @ Life Orb
Ability: Hadron Engine
Tera Type: Grass unsure here, maybe we could mention like Fairy or Dragon but I think it's unlikely, will let QC team know though.
EVs: 160 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 92 Spe can we not just go with a 164 HP / 252 SpA / 92 Spe or something like that?

Paragraph 1:
Agility Miraidon is a potent setup sweeper, leveraging its great base 135 Special Attack stat paired with Life Orb and its Hadron Engine ability to unleash incredible amounts of damage. Agility allows Miraidon to outspeed both regular and Choice Scarf Calyrex-Shadow, as well as all Koraidon and Miraidon sets. You could also just say - "outspeed the whole metagame after one Agility", upto you. Electro Drift is Miraidon's strongest move strongest STAB move (fits better I think), hitting most of the tier neutrally and notably OHKOing Zacian-Crowned, Calyrex-S, Ho-Oh, as well as OHKOing Arceus formes after two layers of Spikes. Dragon Pulse hits Koraidon, Miraidon, and Eternatus super effectively, OHKOing the former two, while dealing great amounts of damage to Eternatus. I think this info could very well be avoided, everyone knows what Dragon Pulse is for Solar Beam gives Miraidon a way of hitting Ting-Lu supereffectively super effectively (typo there x]), though it requires Koraidon's sun to be active. Tera Grass ensures an OHKO on Ting-Lu most of the time, probably mention like after some minor chip and allows Miraidon to setup on (extra space here, delete that) pokemon foes sounds better here such as Eternatus, Miraidon and Ting Lu not using Whirlwind. Miraidon's EV spread allows it to outspeed the fastest unboosted pokemon Pokemon I think it is capitalized, right? in the tier, Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, after 1 Agility.


Paragraph 2:
Miraidon's ability to chip Ting-Lu, one of Calyrex-S's best checks, further helps enable a Nasty Plot sweep. Agility Miraidon also lures Arceus-Ground, which takes a great deal of damage from Solar Beam and opens up pokemon such as Scarf Koraidon which no longer has to worry about defensive Arceus-Ground's Will-O-Wisp or Ice Beam. couple of things here, I don't think Groundy runs Ice Beam (in the current meta), and if you're mentioning about Bulky Arcs, you could add a line that Mira does very good damage to Arceus-Fairy, which enables a potential Koraidon sweep, something along those lines. Miraidon struggles with Ting-Lu before terastallizing, due to its great natural bulk and Electric immunity, and Choice Scarf Koraidon's Outrage threatens an OHKO on Ting-Lu before Miraidon uses Agility. Therefore, Arceus-Fairy and Ho-Oh are great partners to Agility Miraidon, leveraging their excellent defensive typings and great defensive stats to switch into Ting-Lu and Koraidon effectively. I think in general one of the best partners for Agility Mira is Lando-T, or anything that is able to bring it in with momentum. Imo, mention how Lando-T is able to bring it in via U-turn and that it also checks Zac-C and Korai, which can cause problems. Say that Scarf Korai is able to bring it very easily via U-turn which gives you very good momentum, just something along the lines.

QC 1/2. This is good, just some little things you have to implement. Nice work.

Click to expand...
on the ev spread, 4 def is to minimize hazard damage. If you still think it should be changed, lmk on cord.
E: we conversed on cord, and decided not to implement one change in the second paragraph.

Dragon Pulse hits all of the Dragon types in the tier for super effective damage, while giving an alternative to chip Ting-Lu. I'd see a sentence mentionning it have poor longevity due to Life Orb Recoil, and that therefore it can't afford to come early in the game. Also mention that the duration of its ability is limited, making it difficult to sweep if opponent predict your moves. Tera Grass ensures an OHKO on Ting-Lu after minor chip with Solar Beam, and and ensures Miraidon safe setup on foes such as Eternatus, Miraidon and Ting-Lu not using Whirlwind. Miraidon's EV spread allows it to outspeed the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the tier, Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, after Agility. Well written.


Paragraph 2:
You forgot the basic "which type of teams do this set fit" :( Miraidon's ability to chip Ting-Lu, one of Calyrex-S's best checks, further helps enable a Nasty Plot sweep. Reword this ngl, like actually mention Calyrex-S is checked by LU, but that this Miraidon set can Lure Ting-Lu for it.Agility Miraidon also lures Arceus-Ground, which takes a great deal of damage from Solar Beam and opens up pokemon such as Scarf Koraidon which no longer has to worry about defensive Arceus-Ground's Will-O-Wisp Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground using Tera Fairy to setup on it. Defensive Groundy is nonexistent nowadays, i feel like it's better to mention DDDD Similarly, Miraidon’s ability to significantly chip Arceus-Fairy, combined with entry hazards, also helps Koraidon overwhelm and faint it. Miraidon struggles with Ting-Lu before terastallizing, due to its great natural bulk and Electric immunity, and Choice Scarf Koraidon's Outrage threatens an OHKO before Miraidon uses Agility. Therefore, Arceus-Fairy, Ho-Oh, and Landorus-T are great partners to Agility Miraidon, leveraging their excellent defensive typings and great defensive stats to switch into Ting-Lu and Koraidon effectively. Landorus-T and Scarf Koraidon’s U-turn also generates momentum, providing a safe switch in opportunity for Agility Miraidon. Furthermore, Landorus-T checks Zacian-C, which otherwise outspeeds and threatens an OHKO with Play Rough before Agility. Mention Ting-Lu as this Miraidon Set REALLY need hazards up.
