[SET COMMENTS]
* Miraidon is a powerful pivot, being able to comfortably 2HKO most Pokemon in the tier with Electro Drift. Draco Meteor allows it to wear down any reliable Electro Drift switch-in, and U-turn enables Miraidon to bring in its teammates with ease.
* Taunt can stop opposing Arceus formes and Clodsire from clicking Recover and Ting-Lu and Groudon from setting up hazards. It can also stop setup from the likes of Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy, Calm Mind or Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, and Dragon Dance Arceus.
* Miraidon is required to run 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature or it runs the risk of underspeeding Eternatus, Arceus, and Arceus-Ground.
* Heavy-Duty Boots prevents Miraidon from taking unnecessary chip damage from hazards, which are set most of the time due to the lack of reliable hazard removal in the tier. This gives pivot Miraidon more longevity compared to boosting items and allows it to bring in its teammates for longer.
* Tera Dragon and Tera Electric give Miraidon's STAB moves a power boost, allowing it to 2HKO Ting-Lu with Draco Meteor and to 2HKO specially defensive Arceus-Fairy with Electro Drift, respectively.
* Miraidon is best used alongside setup threats such as the aforementioned Arceus formes, Swords Dance Koraidon, and Swords Dance Zacian-C to deny opposing walls entry hazards and recoveryand chip them with its powerful Electric- and Dragon-type STAB moves.
* It can struggle to deal with Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and bulky Arceus formes due to lacking power compared to Choice Specs sets, so it appreciates teammates such as Koraidon, Zacian-C and Flutter Mane that can reliably come in on them after it uses U-turn.
* Pivot Miraidon can form a strong momentum core with other pivots such as Landorus-T and Koraidon to provide chip damage for other teammates to clean.
* Teams with it do require some form of alternative speed control such as Zacian-C, Choice Scarf Koraidon, and Flutter Mane, as Miraidon is unable to outpace other threats itself.

• Miraidon is a powerful pivot, being able to comfortably 2HKO most Pokémon in the tier with Electro Drift. Draco Meteor allows it to wear down any reliable Electro Drift switch in and U-turn enables Miraidon to get off the field easily. please change the phrasing...
• Taunt can stop opposing Arceus formes and Clodsire from clicking Recover and stops Ting-Lu and Groudon from setting up hazards. It should mostly be used on predicted switch-ins since Miraidon does not want to risk taking Earthquake/Precipice Blades from them.
• Miraidon is required to run 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature or it runs the risk of under speeding opposing Koraidon (spelling), Miraidon, (AC) and Flutter Mane.
• Heavy-Duty Boots prevents Miraidon from taking unnecessary chip damage from hazards, which are set most of the time due to the lack of reliable removal in the tier. This gives pivot Miraidon more longevity compared to boosting items and allows it to enable its teammates for longer.
• Dragon and Electric Tera types give Miraidon a power boost, allowing it to 2HKO Ting-Lu with Draco Meteor and to 2HKO Specially Defensive Arceus-Fairy with Electro Drift. It also removes Miraidon's weaknesses to Ground or Dragon/Fairy respectively.
• It's best used alongside set-up threats such as set-up Arceus formes, both physical and special, Swords Dance Koraidon, (AC) and Swords Dance Zacian-C.
• It can struggle to deal with Ting-Lu, Clodsire and bulky Arceus formes due to lacking power compared to Choice Specs sets and appreciates teammates (such as Koraidon, Zacian-C and Flutter Mane) that can reliably come in on them after it clicks U-turn.
• Pivot Miraidon can form a strong momentum core with other pivots such as Landorus-T and Koraidon to provide chip for other teammates to clean.
• add a line about speed control here :)

• Taunt can stop opposing Arceus formes and Clodsire from clicking Recover and stops Ting-Lu and Groudon from setting up hazards. It should mostly be used on predicted switch-ins since Miraidon does not want to risk taking Earthquake/Precipice Blades from them.

I wouldn't say the second sentence is entirely accurate, phys.def groudon switching in straight up can't take 2 dracos while max max sp.def just barely does with no hazards so that's more value, and ting doesn't kill w eq so sometimes it's fine to taunt that regardless especially if it needs spikes for the long game. If you're trying to predict a switch I'd just attack, taunt on predicted spikes. Also stopping arceus from setting up is just as valuable as recover so I'd mention that.

• Miraidon is required to run 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature or it runs the risk of under speeding opposing Koraidon, Miraidon and Flutter Mane.

fairly irrelevant, 252/252 spreads don't need to be explained

• It's best used alongside set-up threats such as set-up Arceus formes, both physical and special, Swords Dance Koraidon and Swords Dance Zacian-C.

I'd expand on this a bit, explain why exactly it helps (pivot / chips walls like ting while preventing hazards and recovery)

Is it rly necessary to specify which weaknesses the Tera types remove?)
