* Choice Specs Miraidon is perhaps the best wallbreaker in Ubers, with the extra power allowing Draco Meteor to 2HKO Clodsire and Arceus-Ground.
* U-turn is useful to gain momentum on predictable switches as well as not revealing Miraidon's item. Volt Switch does the same thing with much more power but requires that the opposing team's Ground-types be eliminated first.
* Overheat annihilates Iron Treads, and since immunities to both of Miraidon's STAB attacks are common, it can ease prediction against players attempting to cycle between Ground- and Fairy-types.
* Tera Dragon allows Miraidon to 2HKO Ting-Lu, one of the only Pokemon capable of taking two consecutive Choice Specs Draco Meteors.
* Tera Electric lets Miraidon break nearly any Pokemon without an Electric immunity in the game, even 2HKOing Blissey outright. Tera Electric is also useful to overpower Calm Mind Arceus formes without the Special Attack drop from Draco Meteor.
* Since Choice Specs Miraidon has no reliable check in the metagame, it works excellently as a wallbreaker for the vast majority of teams.
* Its ability to break or greatly weaken Ting-Lu is a boon for teammates like Calm Mind Arceus-Ghost, Arceus-Poison, Arceus-Ground, and Arceus-Dark and is helpful to prevent Ting-Lu from laying Spikes at all.
* Miraidon can lure in and KO Clodsire, so Pokemon that appreciate Clodsire taken out make good partners such as Eternatus, Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy, and Kyogre.
* Physically offensive teammates like Zacian-C can make for good partners, as Miraidon can come in on many of their checks such as Skeledirge and Toxapex with little worry.
* Since Miraidon can quickly overwhelm Ting-Lu and Clodsire, it's important to anticipate Tera Steel or Tera Fairy from them and react accordingly.

* Choice Specs Miraidon is perhaps the best breaker in Ubers, with the extra power allowing Draco Meteor to 2HKO Clodsire and Arceus-Ground.
* U-Turn is useful to gain momentum on predictable switches, as well as not revealing Miraidon's item slot.
* Overheat annihilates Iron Treads, and since both of Miraidon's STAB attacks have immunities, it can ease prediction against players who are attempting to cycle between Ground- and Fairy-types.
* Tera Dragon allows Miraidon to 2HKO Ting-Lu, one of the only pokemon capable of taking two consecutive Specs Draco Meteors otherwise.
* Tera Electric lets Miraidon break nearly any non-Ground type in the game, even 2HKOing Blissey outright. Tera Electric is also useful to overpower Calm Mind Arceus forms without the Special Attack drop from Draco Meteor.
* Since Specs Miraidon has no reliable check in the game, it works excellently as a breaker for Balance and Bulky Offense teams.
* Miraidon can lure in and KO Clodsire, so pokemon who appreciate Clodsire being gone make good partners, such as Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy and Kyogre.
* Since this Miraidon can quickly overwhelm Ting-Lu and Clodsire, it's important to anticipate a Tera Steel or Tera Fairy from them and react accordingly.

I'd also mention that you want solid counterplay to faster mons like Zacian-C and Scarf Koraidon, as they often come in to force Miraidon out after it has claimed a kill (and in Zacian's case even just hard switched into a Draco Meteor). So mentions to like Skeledirge, Groudon, and Lando-T can be good here. Lando-T in particular is also really good because it can U-turn back into Miraidon afterwards on the things it brings in like Kyogre and Corviknight. Corviknight is a decent partner as well for being able to remove hazards for Mirai so that it can come in more often and not be overwhelmed by hazards, while also being able to switch into Arceus-Fairy and ground-types like Groudon / Arceus-Ground trying to take advantage of a choice locked Miraidon, and being able to U-turn into Miraidon again.

1/2

Really just "Specs"? Please change to "Choice Specs". Change any mention of "Specs" you wrote to "Choice Specs" since there were a few

Volt Switch over U-turn. Also the "t" in U-turn is not capitalized!

Change to: "Since all of Choice Specs Miraidon's checks can be overwhelmed by it with proper prediction, it works excellently as a breaker for any style of team." (not just for Balance and BO)

Final thing is to add a disclaimer as to why Timid and not Modest (Arceus, M2, Etern). It should be fine more or less after that. Implement and it's QC 2/2.

You left out the part where you put Volt second slash my man. I'll give you an explanation if you need one, kinda in a hurry rn.

I'm not slashing Volt Switch 1st:blobshrug: I've also consulted with several other QC members like corvere and taka and they've sided with me here, 2nd slash is fine.
