Miraidon is able to sweep through teams thanks to its high Special Attack and Hadron Engine setting up Electric Terrain, which increases its damage output and prevents sleep such as from Amoonguss's Spore. Miraidon runs Choice Specs and Tera Electric to increase its damage output further allowing it to OHKO bulky Pokemon, such as Incineroar. Volt Switch allows Miraidon to pivot out, which, when combined with its high Speed, allows it to avoid damage trades and help it win the Terrain war against Rillaboom. Draco Meteor is run as STAB coverage, as its high base power allows it to OHKO threats like Groudon, Koraidon, and Raging Bolt. Miraidon can use Discharge to circumvent redirection, such as Amoonguss's Rage Powder or Ogerpon-W's Follow Me; however, this can force Miraidon's ally to use Protect unless it is a Ground-type. Miraidon has a strong matchup into Kyogre, as it can outspeed and threaten to OHKO it.
Miraidon is often paired with Farigiraf because it blocks Fake Out, which Miraidon cannot block and slows Miraidon down easily. Miraidon is also usually paired alongside Whimsicott for Tailwind support, which allows Miraidon to outspeed and OHKO Calyrex-S. Miraidon also struggles against foes that can maintain speed control, such as Calyrex-S in Tailwind and Calyrex-I in Trick Room, as they can outspeed Miraidon and threaten big damage. Calyrex-S often runs Focus Sash to take a hit from Miraidon, while Calyrex-I OHKOes Miraidon with Glacial Lance. It can also struggle against Groudon with redirection support, as Draco Meteor can be redirected and Precipice Blades threatens to OHKO in return. Miraidon should also carefully maintain Electric Terrain against Rillaboom in order to not have its damage output significantly reduced.
