[SET COMMENTS]
Set Details
========
- Choice Scarf Miraidon is a fast and deadly attacker, pivoting around the battlefield and dealing good damage to top Pokemon such as Calyrex-S, Ho-Oh, and Koraidon while also setting Electric Terrain to deny sleep moves from Amoonguss, Brute Bonnet, and Smeargle.
- Volt Switch is amazing in helping Miraidon pivot and chip foes in the process. Snarl allows for damage mitigation from special attackers like Calyrex-S, Lunala, and opposing Miraidon. Dazzling Gleam can be run over Snarl to deal decent damage against foes like Iron Hands and Raging Bolt, although Snarl is generally preferred for its versatility.
- Choice Scarf allows Miraidon to outspeed the majority of the format, only losing to Booster Energy Iron Bundle and Flutter Mane while beating out some of the fastest Pokemon, including Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R.
- Tera Electric lets Miraidon deal more damage with Electro Drift and Volt Switch, notably letting Miraidon OHKO Farigiraf and Calyrex-S with Electro Drift.

Teambuilding
=========
- While Choice Scarf Miraidon moves before a majority of the metagame, it lacks the damage output of Choice Specs sets. Like Choice Specs variants, Choice Scarf Miraidon struggles to break through bulky Electric-resistant foes such as Rillaboom and Amoonguss. With the power drop from forgoing Choice Specs, Miraidon misses KOs on many bothersome Pokemon, notably missing the OHKO on Tera Fire Koraidon and Calyrex-I with Electro Drift.
- Calyrex-I is a great offensive partner for Miraidon, threatening the aforementioned Electric-resistant Pokemon like Amoonguss that would otherwise stop Miraidon in its tracks. Miraidon can help out Calyrex-I by beating Water-types that resist Glacial Lance like Kyogre and Urshifu-R. Zamazenta-C is another great partner, using Wide Guard to defend Miraidon from Precipice Blades and Glacial Lance from Groudon and opposing Calyrex-I, respectively, while also spreading good damage to special walls such as Assault Vest Rillaboom and Iron Hands.
- Farigiraf not only is able to boost Miraidon's damage with Helping Hand but also blocks Fake Out with Armor Tail and either sets up or reverses Trick Room. Miraidon can also set up Electric Terrain for Farigiraf, denying Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet while also activating Farigiraf's Electric Seed. Pokemon like Iron Hands, Ogerpon-C, and Volcarona are able to create openings for Miraidon to safely attack with Fake Out, Follow Me, and Rage Powder, respectively, and all of them fend off strong attackers that threaten Miraidon, notably Calyrex-I.

Set Details
========
- Choice Scarf Miraidon is a fast and deadly attacker, pivoting around throughout throughout refers to a period of time the battlefield and dealing good damage to top Pokemon such as Calyrex-S, Zamazenta-C, and Koraidon while also using setting Electric Terrain to deny sleep from Amoonguss, Brute Bonnet, and Smeargle.
- Volt Switch, although weaker than most other moves, is amazing in helping Miraidon pivot around and chip foes in the process. Snarl allows for damage negation mitigation into Special Attackers like Calyrex-S and opposing Miraidon. Dazzling Gleam can be run over Snarl to deal decent damage into foes like Iron Hands and Raging Bolt, although Snarl is generally preferred for its versatility.
- Choice Scarf allows Miraidon to outspeed the majority of the format, only losing to Booster Speed Iron Bundle and Booster Speed Flutter Mane your set doesn't outspeed sash timid max speed flutter, the most common variant right now while beating out the fastest Pokemon, notably Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R.
- The given EV spread lets Miraidon outspeed maximum speed Booster Energy Roaring Moon while still keeping maximum power, with the rest dumped into HP. Why hp/are there any defensive calcs that can be reached by distributing leftover bulk a bit differently or sacrificing a bit of spa investment? with something like 108 HP/20 Def/244 SpA/4 SpDef/132 Spe you can something like this calc 76+ Atk Groudon Precipice Blades vs. 108 HP / 20 Def Miraidon: 162-192 (85.7 - 101.5%) -- 6.25% chance to OHKO which otherwise has a 31% chance to OHKO
- Tera Electric lets Miraidon deal more damage with Electro Drift and Volt Switch, notably letting Miraidon OHKO Farigiraf, Calyrex-S, and Grimmsnarl. i would mention dropping the glacial lance & fairy weakness here

Teambuilding
=========
- Due to losing Choice Specs, Miraidon struggles to break through Electric-type resists like Landorus and miraidon isnt "getting through" lando with an electric move no matter how many multipliers it has, and draco still kos it even without specs. Amoonguss without a multitude of multipliers i think a more relevant thing to mention here is not OHKO'ing amoonguss without specs (236 HP/92 Spdef bold aka glacial lance amoonguss is never kod by scarf mirai even if modest). Without Protect, it also struggles with Fake Out pressure and Trick Room as Miraidon isn't able to avoid either. This isn't a huge issue, but this kind of sounds like it does get protect with specs. I would also mention not OHKOing ice rider with electro drift, with only a small chance to ko with electric tera, as well as not having a garuanteed KO against 4 hp koraidon if it teras (without tera electric you only have a 12.5% chance to ko it with draco/edrift after tera fire), and not koing other tera fairy mirai without tera electric. A lot of actually relevant offensive calcs that you lose without specs arent mentioned here
- Calyrex-I is a great offensive partner for Miraidon, threatening the aforementioned resists and more any examples? that would otherwise stop Miraidon in its tracks. Miraidon can help out Calyrex-I by beating Water- and Fire-types miraidon doesn't necessarily do this better than ice rider with high horsepower that resist Glacial Lance.
- Farigiraf is not only able to boost Miraidon's damage with Helping Hand, but it also beats can also block Fake Out with Armor Tail and can reverse opposing Trick Room either set up or reverse Trick Room. Miraidon can also set up Electric Terrain for Farigiraf, denying Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet while also activating Farigiraf's Electric Seed.
Any other partners? Iron hands? Lunala? Ursaluna?

- Volt Switch, although weaker than most other moves, This is fluff is amazing in helping Miraidon pivot around and chip foes in the process. Snarl allows for damage negation mitigation into Special Attackers like Calyrex-S and opposing Miraidon I would mention Lunala too and how it is great for breaking Shadow Shield.

- Tera Electric lets Miraidon deal more damage with Electro Drift and Volt Switch, notably letting Miraidon OHKO Farigiraf, Calyrex-S, and Grimmsnarl Mention something else or remove this since it only applies if Grimmsnarl doesn't set Light Screen immediately. i would mention dropping the glacial lance & fairy weakness here

A lot of actually relevant offensive calcs that you lose without specs arent mentioned here This point feels a bit lacking, maybe instead of saying "Due to losing Choice Specs" at the start you can say something like "While Choice Scarf Miraidon can move before the majority of the metagame, it lacks the damage output of Choice Specs variants" and then talk about the checks

Set Details
========
- Choice Scarf Miraidon is a fast and deadly attacker, pivoting around the battlefield and dealing good damage to top Pokemon such as Calyrex-S, Zamazenta-C (would mention ho-oh or cir or something over this), and Koraidon while also setting Electric Terrain to deny sleep from Amoonguss, Brute Bonnet, and Smeargle.
- Volt Switch is amazing in helping Miraidon pivot and chip foes in the process. Snarl allows for damage mitigation into Special Attackers like Calyrex-S, Lunala, and opposing Miraidon.

- Choice Scarf allows Miraidon to outspeed the majority of the format, only losing to Booster Speed Iron Bundle and Flutter Mane while beating out the fastest Pokemon, notably Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R.
- The given EV spread lets Miraidon outspeed maximum speed Booster Energy Roaring Moon while still keeping maximum power. With the HP investment, Miraidon has a 50% chance to survive Ice Spinner from Jolly Chien-Pao (50% is way to high to mention) and always survives a Helping Hand and Life Orb boosted Astral Barrage or Psychic from Calyrex-S. (I would just go 252/252 tbh, the few scarf mirai I saw run that and u punish non-max speed flutter and some other stuff. These calcs aren't that amazing either.)
- Tera Electric lets Miraidon deal more damage with Electro Drift and Volt Switch, notably letting Miraidon OHKO Farigiraf, Calyrex-S, and drops its weakness to Glacial Lance and Moonblast from Calyrex-I and Flutter Mane, respectively (basically every tera does this it's not specific to tera electric)

Teambuilding
=========
- While Choice Scarf Miraidon moves before a majority of the metagame, it lacks the damage output of Choice Specs Miraidon, struggling to break through bulky Electric-type resists like Rillaboom and Amoonguss without a multitude of multipliers (specs mirai doesn't really break through these super well either so would change this to less of a comparison between specs and scarf and more of just "miraidon struggles to break through these mons"). With the power drop of losing Choice Specs, Choice Scarf Miraidon misses KOs on many bother Pokemon, notably missing the OHKO on Tera Fire Koraidon and Calyrex-I with Electro Drift.
- Calyrex-I is a great offensive partner for Miraidon, threatening the aforementioned resists like Amoonguss and more that would otherwise stop Miraidon in its tracks. Miraidon can help out Calyrex-I by beating Water-types that resist Glacial Lance. Zamazenta-C is another great Restricted partner, proving using Wide Guard to defend Miraidon from opposing Precipice Blades and Glacial Lance with Wide Guard while also spreading good damage to special walls such as Assault Vest Rillaboom and Iron Hands.
- Farigiraf is not only able to boost Miraidon's damage with Helping Hand, but also blocks Fake Out with Armor Tail and either set up or reverse Trick Room. Miraidon can also set up Electric Terrain for Farigiraf, denying Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet while also activating Farigiraf's Electric Seed.
