Miraidon's devastating offensive prowess further enhanced by Life Orb and Calm Mind makes it one of the best wallbreakers, easily punching holes through the sturdiest of defensive cores. Electro Drift outright OHKOes Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, and Arceus-Fairy after two layers of Spikes. Draco Meteor provides a way to hit Ground-types such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Ground, and Clodsire and other Dragon-types like opposing Miraidon, Koraidon and Eternatus. Agility prevents Miraidon from getting revenge killed by faster threats like Choice Scarf Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S. Miraidon does not usually need a coverage move in the last slot as its STABs cover most of the tier for at least neutral damage. However, Overheat hits Tera Grass Ho-Oh, which is present on most stall teams, and the rare Iron Treads while also acting as a midground option that hits both Ground- and Fairy-types. It also benefits from Koraidon's sun, OHKOing Tera Grass Ho-Oh without any boosts. The Speed investment lets Miraidon outspeed max Speed neutral nature Arceus formes. Tera Stellar boosts Miraidon's STABs to unfathomable levels, with +1 Tera Stellar Draco Meteor OHKOing special walls like Ting-Lu, specially defensive Tera Grass Ho-Oh, Clodsire and 2HKOing Blissey. On the other hand, Tera Dragon retains the ability to use strengthened Draco Meteor multiple times at the cost of being unable to OHKO Arceus-Fairy with Electro Drift unboosted.

Calm Mind Miraidon is a stellar pick on bulky offense and hyper offense teams, being able to single-handedly break through stall teams and heavily pressure the defensive backbone. Teammates like Swords Dance Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, Koraidon, and Zacian-C appreciate Miraidon for threatening their defensive switch-ins such as Alomomola, Skeledirge, and Landorus-T. In return, they threaten Miraidon's common answers like Ting-Lu, Blissey, and Clodsire. Calm Mind Arceus-Ground is a great partner that works in tandem with Miraidon to overwhelm mutual checks such as Ting-Lu and Tera Grass Ho-Oh. On hyper offense teams, suicide leads like Glimmora, Deoxys-S, and Ribombee, can support Miraidon with entry hazards. Grimmsnarl provides screens, which allows Miraidon to safely set up. Due to Life Orb recoil and not holding Heavy-Duty Boots, Miraidon is worn down over the course of the game. Hence, Hatterene is an excellent partner that prevents hazards from going up and can bring in Miraidon safely with Baton Pass or even pass it Calm Mind boosts. Faster threats such as Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, and Choice Scarf Koraidon can force Miraidon out or deal heavy damage to it. Thus, Arceus-Water and Landorus-T that can take on Koraidon and Zacian-C make up for good teammates. Similarly, Ting-Lu checks Calyrex-S and opposing Miraidon and can set up Spikes to aid Miraidon in breaking. Arceus benefits from Ting-Lu being weakened so that its sweep isn't halted by Whirlwind and lets Miraidon fallback safely against Calyrex-S.

Miraidon's devastating offensive prowess further enhanced by Life Orb and Calm Mind makes it one of the best wallbreakers, easily punching holes through the sturdiest of defensive cores. Electro Drift obliterates Flying- and Water-types like Ho-Oh, Arceus-Water, and Kyogre you don't really need to point this out specifically as far as I'm aware, goes without saying. mentioning just about Caly-S Zac NDM should be good enough while also outright OHKOing Calyrex-S, Zacian-C and offensive Necrozma-DM. Draco Meteor provides a way to hit Ground-types such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Ground, and Clodsire and other Dragon-types like opposing Miraidon, Koraidon and Eternatus. Agility prevents Miraidon from getting revenge killed by faster threats like Choice Scarf Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S. could perhaps mention that one Agility makes it the fastest mon in the tier Alternatively, Overheat OHKOes the rare Iron Treads, which can otherwise tank a few hits from Miradon. I think it's also important to mention that it acts as a midground when facing both Ground and Fairy types, plus you can also write Korai's sun helps with synergy as well. (add a space here)The Speed investment lets Miraidon outspeed neutral nature Arceus formes. Tera Stellar boosts Miraidon's STABs to unfathomable levels, with +1 Tera Stellar Draco Meteor OHKOing special walls like Ting-Lu, specially defensive Tera Grass Ho-Oh, Clodsire and 2HKOing Blissey. On the other hand, Tera Dragon retains the ability to use strengthened Draco Meteor multiple times at the cost of being unable to OHKO Arceus-Fairy with Electro Drift unboosted.

Calm Mind Miraidon is a stellar pick on bulky offense and hyper offense teams, being able to single-handedly break through stall teams and heavily pressure the defensive backbone. Teammates like Swords Dance Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, Koraidon, and Zacian-C appreciate Miraidon for threatening their defensive switch-ins such as Alomomola, Skeledirge, and Dondozo. In return, they threaten Miraidon's common answers like Ting-Lu, Blissey, and Clodsire. Furthermore, Miraidon overwhelms Ting-Lu and deals massive damage to Arceus which is particularly beneficial for Calyrex-S, as it is able to snowball late-game with its walls weakened. On hyper offense teams, suicide leads like Glimmora, Deoxys-S, and Ribombee, can support Miraidon with hazards entry hazards. Grimmsnarl provides screens, which allows Miraidon to safely set up. Due to Life Orb recoil and not holding Heavy-Duty Boots, Miraidon is worn down over the course of the game. Hence, Hatterene is an excellent partner that prevents hazards from going up and can bring in Miraidon safely with Baton Pass or even pass it Calm Mind boosts.

Thus, Arceus-Water and Landorus-T that can take on Koraidon and Zacian-C make up for good teammates. Similarly, Ting-Lu checks Calyrex-S and opposing Miraidon and can set up Spikes to aid Miraidon in breaking. can also talk about Arceus here which helps check Caly and benefits from Mirai beating stuff which opens a lategame sweep for Arceus.
not exactly sure on this one, but maybe you could talk about Groundy (CM) as a good partner b/c of both overlapping their checks. can discuss it in QC though

Miraidon's devastating offensive prowess further enhanced by Life Orb and Calm Mind makes it one of the best wallbreakers, easily punching holes through the sturdiest of defensive cores. Electro Drift outright OHKOes Calyrex-S, Zacian-C and offensive Necrozma-DM as of now offensive NDM isn't very relevant, I'd say we remove it unless you have arguments to keep it, and Arceus-Fairy after two layers of Spikes. Draco Meteor provides a way to hit Ground-types such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Ground, and Clodsire and other Dragon-types like opposing Miraidon, Koraidon and Eternatus. Agility prevents Miraidon from getting revenge killed by faster threats like Choice Scarf Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Calyrex-S. Miraidon does not usually need a coverage move in the last slot as its STABs cover most of the tier for at least neutral damage. However, Overheat hits Tera Grass Ho-Oh, which is present on most stall, you can word it differently if you prefer, I just think it is important to mention that stall -> the Ho-Oh is tera grass, could also be worded in a way that explicitely tell outside of stall tgrass ho-oh isn't played but that's probably too much and the rare Iron Treads while also acting as a midground option that hits both Ground- and Fairy-types. It also benefits from Koraidon's sun, OHKOing Tera Grass Ho-Oh without any boosts. The Speed investment lets Miraidon outspeed max Speed neutral nature Arceus formes. Tera Stellar boosts Miraidon's STABs to unfathomable levels, with +1 Tera Stellar Draco Meteor OHKOing special walls like Ting-Lu, specially defensive Tera Grass Ho-Oh, Clodsire and 2HKOing Blissey. On the other hand, Tera Dragon retains the ability to use strengthened Draco Meteor multiple times at the cost of being unable to OHKO Arceus-Fairy with Electro Drift unboosted.

Teammates like Swords Dance Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, Koraidon, and Zacian-C appreciate Miraidon for threatening their defensive switch-ins such as Alomomola, Skeledirge, and Dondozo Dondozo isn't relevant anymore. In return, they threaten Miraidon's common answers like Ting-Lu, Blissey, and Clodsire. Calm Mind Arceus-Ground is a great partner that works in tandem with Miraidon to overwhelm mutual checks such as Ting-Lu and Tera Grass Ho-Oh. On hyper offense teams, suicide leads like Glimmora, Deoxys-S, and Ribombee, can support Miraidon with entry hazards. To me this line feels like "a great ally in stall is a defensive mon", like Hyper Offense pretty much imply suicid lead and Entry hazards, I wouldn't consider those allies as they're the first mon of the team, but it's fine ig, that's up to GP Grimmsnarl provides screens, which allows Miraidon to safely set up. Due to Life Orb recoil and not holding Heavy-Duty Boots, Miraidon is worn down over the course of the game. Hence, Hatterene is an excellent partner that prevents hazards from going up and can bring in Miraidon safely with Baton Pass or even pass it Calm Mind boosts.
