Miraidon is a fast, hyper-offensive threat that can easily OHKO metagame staples such as Incineroar, Urshifu-R, and Raging Bolt while also dealing devastating spread damage with its high Special Attack further enhanced by Hadron Engine. Miraidon matches up well against Kyogre, Calyrex-I, and Zamazenta-C, threatening them before they can attack. Miraidon also shuts down Amoonguss with Electric Terrain from Hadron Engine, preventing disruption with Spore. Volt Switch, working in tandem with Miraidon's high Speed, allows it to pivot out before taking damage, increasing Miraidon's longevity and allowing it to reset Electric Terrain later against Rillaboom and Indeedee-F. Discharge allows Miraidon to hit both opponents, notably ignoring redirection, with the drawback of damaging its partner. Dazzling Gleam gives Miraidon an alternate spread damage attack that threatens Koraidon and Iron Hands. The given EV spread allows Miraidon to almost always survive Helping Hand-boosted Close Combat from Urshifu-R as well as +2 Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S. The Speed EVs allow Miraidon to outrun opposing Modest Miraidon, Adamant Koraidon, and Adamant Chien-Pao. Alternatively, an EV spread of 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe can be used with a Modest or Timid nature to maximize Miraidon's damage and Speed respectively. Choice Specs and Tera Electric further increases Miraidon's damage, with Tera Electric also removing weaknesses to attacks such as Glacial Lance and Moonblast from Calyrex-I and Flutter Mane, respectively. Tera Fairy removes Miraidon's weaknesses to Earth Power from Ursaluna-B and High Horsepower from Calyrex-I, provides it with a defensively neutral typing into most of the metagame, and boosts the damage of Dazzling Gleam.
Rillaboom is Miraidon's greatest adversary, capable of disrupting Miraidon with Fake Out and overriding Electric Terrain with Grassy Surge. Faster offensive Pokemon such as Calyrex-S, Zacian-C, and Chien-Pao also threaten Miraidon. Chi-Yu pairs well with Miraidon, threatening the aforementioned threats and increasing Miraidon's damage with Beads of Ruin. Farigiraf is an exceptional partner for Miraidon to block Fake Out from Rillaboom, Incineroar, and Iron Hands, allowing Miraidon to continue attacking without disruption, and it additionally takes little to no damage from Calyrex-S while threatening it with Foul Play. A partner Iron Hands threatens Chien-Pao and, thanks to having its damage increased by Miraidon's Electric Terrain, can significantly damage Incineroar even after Intimidate. Whimsicott supports Miraidon with priority Tailwind to boost Miraidon's Speed and Encore to threaten Fake Out users and setup Pokemon such as Nasty Plot Calyrex-S. Ursaluna-B is another good partner that threatens Calyrex-S and allows Miraidon to use Discharge safely thanks to its Ground typing. Volcarona also supports Miraidon well by threatening to OHKO or burn Zacian-C, Rillaboom, and Chien-Pao.
