Pivot (Miraidon) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Hadron Engine

Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Electro Drift
- U-turn
- Taunt / Calm Mind
[SET COMMENTS]
Miraidon's natural power and access to U-turn make it a strong pivot for offensive teams. Heavy-Duty Boots maximizes Miraidon's longevity against entry hazard-stacking teams and gives it an advantage against Sticky Web teams. Miraidon can use U-turn to bring in Koraidon, Arceus, Kyogre, and Chien-Pao on its checks, such as Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Arceus-Ground. Taunt prevents Arceus formes and Clodsire from using Recover while limiting hazards and setup from the likes of Arceus, Necrozma-DM, and Ting-Lu. Tera Dragon powers up Miraidon's Draco Meteor, letting it 2HKO Arceus formes and Clodsire and hit Ting-Lu even harder. Tera Steel gives Miraidon the ability to avoid Toxic from Clodsire and Eternatus while letting it resist the likes of Scale Shot and Dragon Claw from Koraidon, Draco Meteor from opposing Miraidon, Play Rough from Zacian-C, Extreme Speed from Arceus, and Judgment from Arceus-Fairy. Tera Ghost sheds Miraidon's weaknesses while also preventing Extreme Killer Arceus from consistently revenge killing it.
Miraidon is quite fast but can still be revenge killed by Choice Scarf Koraidon and Zacian-C. As such, Ho-Oh and Necrozma-DM pair well with it. Necrozma-DM's access to Knock Off especially helps Miraidon and its teammates win the hazard war. Hazard setters such as Ting-Lu and Gliscor appreciate Miraidon limiting both hazards from opposing setters and preventing recovery while also checking opposing Miraidon and Ground-types such as Arceus-Ground, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu. Pivot Miraidon also pairs especially well with Choice Scarf Koraidon thanks to their shared access to U-turn, letting them form a strong pivot core that can wear down Pokemon in conjunction with hazards. Finally, Miraidon pairs well with Calm Mind Arceus formes such as Arceus-Fairy and Arceus-Ground, as Miraidon's strong Draco Meteors and access to Taunt let it wear down special walls such as Arceus-Fairy, Arceus-Ground, Arceus-Grass, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu for them.

Choice Specs (Miraidon) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Hadron Engine

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Specs Miraidon is the strongest wallbreaker in Ubers and has the power to 2HKO Arceus formes and Clodsire without the use of Terastallization. Overheat is the standard coverage move on Choice Specs sets, as it offers a midground between hitting Ground-types such as Arceus-Ground, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu and Fairy-types such as Arceus-Fairy, Flutter-Mane, and Zacian-C. U-turn and Volt Switch are both options for the set, but Volt Switch requires the player to be more aggressive against opposing Ground-types. Tera Dragon lets Miraidon 2HKO Ting-Lu and defensive Necrozma-DM while also OHKOing Ho-Oh. Tera Electric powers up Miraidon's Electro Drift and Volt Switch immensely, making them much harder to pivot around with Electric resistancdes such as Koraidon and Eternatus. Tera Fire is an option that pairs well with Overheat, as it lets Miraidon OHKO both Arceus formes and Clodsire in sun without any need for prediction, but it is generally outclassed thanks to the lack of defensive utility and Stealth Rock weakness that it brings.
Miraidon's ability to break special walls, such as Clodsire for Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy and Kyogre and Ting-Lu for Calm Mind Arceus-Ground, is appreciated. In return, they can pivot into Miraidon's revenge killers, such as Koraidon, Zacian-C, and opposing Miraidon. Physical wallbreakers such as Koraidon, Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM, and Zacian-C can wear down shared checks such as Arceus-Ground while giving Miraidon a turn of free entry. Koraidon in particular is a very strong partner for being able to pivot Miraidon into Ho-Oh, and the two of them can wear down Arceus-Fairy together. Finally, Miraidon's reliance on prediction makes it necessary to have teammates that can pivot into the aforementioned Ground- and Fairy-types, such as Ho-Oh and Necrozma-DM.
