Miraidon is able to sweep through teams thanks to its high Special Attack and Hadron Engine setting up Electric Terrain, which increases its damage output and prevents sleep such as from Amoonguss's Spore. Miraidon runs Choice Specs and Tera Electric to increase its damage output further allowing it to OHKO bulky Pokemon, such as Incineroar. Volt Switch allows Miraidon to pivot out, which, when combined with its high Speed, allows it to avoid damage trades and help it win the Terrain war against Rillaboom. Draco Meteor is run as STAB coverage, as its high base power allows it to OHKO threats like Groudon, Koraidon, and Raging Bolt. Miraidon can use Discharge to circumvent redirection, such as Amoonguss's Rage Powder or Ogerpon-W's Follow Me; however, this can force Miraidon's ally to use Protect unless it is a Ground-type. Miraidon has a strong matchup into Kyogre, as it can outspeed and threaten to OHKO it.

Miraidon is often paired with Farigiraf because it blocks Fake Out, which Miraidon cannot block and slows Miraidon down easily. Miraidon is also usually paired alongside Whimsicott for Tailwind support, which allows Miraidon to outspeed and OHKO Calyrex-S. Miraidon also struggles against foes that can maintain speed control, such as Calyrex-S in Tailwind and Calyrex-I in Trick Room, as they can outspeed Miraidon and threaten big damage. Calyrex-S often runs Focus Sash to take a hit from Miraidon, while Calyrex-I OHKOes Miraidon with Glacial Lance. It can also struggle against Groudon with redirection support, as Draco Meteor can be redirected and Precipice Blades threatens to OHKO in return. Miraidon should also carefully maintain Electric Terrain against Rillaboom in order to not have its damage output significantly reduced.

Miraidon uses it's its high effective Special Attack in Electric Terrain to sweep through teams. Miraidon's Volt Switch is a particularly important move as it allows Miraidon to pivot out which, combined with it's its high speed Speed, allows it to avoid damage trades and win the Terrain war keep terrain up in terrain wars against Rillaboom. (you should mention that Draco Meteor hits Koraidon and Groudon) Miraidon runs Choice Specs and Tera-Electric (RH) to increase it's its damage output further, allowing it to OHKO bulky Pokemon, such as Incineroar. Miraidon can use Discharge to circumvent redirection, such as Amoonguss's Rage Powder or Ogerpon-W's Follow Me. (worth mentioning how this is normally only done next to something like Helping Hand Tera Ground Farigiraf as it forces your ally to Protect otherwise) Miraidon has a strong matchup into against Kyogre and Incineroar, as it can outspeed and threaten to OHKO. Additionally, Miraidon's Electric Terrain prevents Spore from Amoonguss.

Miraidon is often paired with Farigiraf, which block blocks priority attacks such as Incineroar's Fake Out, which it Miraidon otherwise struggles with against, as it can't run Protect, making it susceptible to getting double targetted. Miraidon is also usually paired alongside Whimsicott for Tailwind support, which allows it to outspeed threats such as Zamazenta and (not really a threat, especially since Miraidon is faster) Calyrex-S. Miraidon can struggle against Calyrex-I, especially Tera-Grass (RH) variants, as Calyrex-I threatens to OHKO Miraidon with Glacial Lance and can gain maintain speed control with Trick Room. It can also struggle against Groudon which can threaten to OHKO with Precipate Precipice Blades. Miraidon can also get into terrain wars with Rillaboom, in order to avoid having it's damage output reduced Miraidon should also carefully maintain Electric Terrain against Rillaboom in order not to have its damage output significantly reduced.

Miraidon uses its high effective Special Attack in Electric Terrain I think I get what you mean by this but this is kinda confusing, can you re-phrase this to maybe "Miraidon is an extremely effective sweeper thanks to its ___" or "Miraidon's ___ allows it to sweep through teams easily" or smh, with the blank being like electric terrain and specs and stuff. to sweep through teams. Volt Switch is a particularly important move as it allows Miraidon to pivot out which, combined with its high Speed, allows it to avoid damage trades and win the Terrain war Against what? Can you explain why this is important?. Draco Meteor is strong STAB coverage which allows Miraidon to hit Raging Bolt, Koriadon and Groudon Miraidon also gets Dragon Pulse which can hit these pokemon and ohko them, why woulden't It run that? Also, why mention Groudon when you say stab coverage. Can you reword this to maybe Draco Meteor allows it to OHKO nie everything with its high bp. Miraidon runs Choice Specs and Tera Electric to increase its damage output further, allowing it to OHKO bulky Pokemon, such as Incineroar. Miraidon can use Discharge to circumvent redirection, such as Amoonguss's Rage Powder or Ogerpon-W's Follow Me, however this can force Miraidon's ally to Protect unless its a Ground Type. Miraidon runs Choice Specs and Tera Electric to increase its damage output further, allowing it to OHKO bulky Pokemon, such as Incineroar I think this is the order. Miraidon has a strong matchup into Kyogre and Incineroar What? Why Incineroar. If its because it can outspeed and OHKO woulden't you mention like nearly every Pokemon? If the goal is to outspeed also why woulden't Timid be slashed. Also, I would not even say Incin is a good mu as it can Fake Out cycle Mirai pretty well. Can you add Mirai's typing to the Kyogre part and mention like Urshifu-R or smh, and then also mention that it can outspeed and OHKO pokemon like Incin Flutter etc etc, as it can outspeed and threaten to OHKO. Additionally, Miraidon's Electric Terrain prevents Spore from Amoonguss. Maybe move this up? Feels kinda outta the blue

Miraidon is often paired with Farigiraf, which blocks priority attacks such as Incineroar's Fake Out, which Miraidon has no way to prevent and can slow it down easily. otherwise struggles against, as it can't run Protect, making it suspetible to getting double targetted Cutting. Miraidon is also usually paired alongside Whimsicott for Tailwind support, Why Whimsicott instead of Tornadus? which allows it to outspeed threats such as Calyrex-S is this a threat? You never mention it as one. Miraidon can struggle against Calyrex-I, especially Tera Grass variants, as Calyrex-I threatens to OHKO Miraidon with Glacial Lance and can maintain speed control with Trick Room Miraidon also struggles against opponents that can maintain speed control, such as both Calyrex forms, which threaten big damage and outspeed it when in Tailwind or Trick Room, with Calyrex-S often running Focus Sash and Calyrex-I OHKOing Miraidon with Glacial Lance. Or something like that, you can change the wording. I wanted to add Caly-S in tw too as it deserves a mention. It can also struggle against Groudon which can threaten to OHKO with Precipice Blades Groudon isen't terribly common, and Miraidon still nukes it and partners with Draco. Miraidon should also carefully maintain Electric Terrain against Rillaboom in order to not have it's damage output significantly reduced. This doesen't do it justice, Rillaboom completely dismantles Miraidon with resisting E-drift, Fake Out, and Grassy Terrain. Can you move this up and mention all of it

Implemented some of it but there are parts I dont agree with. Miraidon always runs Modest over Timid, there isn't much that Timid allows it to outspeed and Modest is required to pick up a OHKOs that it couldn't otherwise. Rillaboom doesn't dismantle Miraidon, it turns the game into a positional one where the Miraidon player is chipping down Rillaboom and positioning until Rillaboom is taken out. I also kept the part about Groudon (tho added redirection support), even without it the Miraidon player doesn't often want to be locking into Draco meteor, especially against Groudon teams which usually have flutter mane, where the Groudon can simply Protect to scout out. I get your point about matchups tho, it's difficult to write what Miraidon is strong into as it kinda nukes most of the meta. I've now only mentioned it's advantage over Kyogre as it is the only relevant restricted that is has an explicit type advantage over.

I've discussed this with Sole Survivor, can you slash Modest and Timid? I'll give this a look over later.
Also, what OHKOes are there?

Incineroar with Tera electric volt switch comes to mind, wogerpon also and AV rilla boom in electric terrain becomes a roll with Draco. It ensues you KO stuff that would ordinarily be a roll or be down to training which is why it’s used more often. Additionally, there are not that many Pokémon in the 187+ range that it would be able to outspeed - chien pao is less common, jolly koraidon would be a speed tie anyway and flutter mane is less common and often speed booster anyway (and if it isn’t it doesn’t usually hit 187 speed), so there are not many reasons it needs to be above 187. I really suggest saying it only runs modest - the high performing regional teams such as raghavs were modest that I’m aware of were all modest.

Volt Switch allows Miraidon to pivot out, (AC) which, when combined with its high Speed, allows it to avoid damage trades and help it win the Terrain war against Rillaboom. Draco Meteor is run as STAB coverage, as it's its high base power allows it to OHKO threats like Groudon, Koriadon Koraidon, (AC) and Raging Bolt. Miraidon can use Discharge to circumvent redirection, such as Amoonguss's Rage Powder or Ogerpon-W's Follow Me (RC); however, (AC) this can force Miraidon's ally to use Protect (We don't use moves as verbs; Pokemon use moves.) unless its it is a Ground Type-type. Miraidon has a strong matchup into Kyogre, (AC) as it can outspeed and threaten to OHKO it.

Miraidon is often paired with Farigiraf (RC) which because it blocks Fake Out, which Miraidon has no way to prevent cannot block and can slow it slows Miraidon down easily. Miraidon is also usually paired alongside Whimsicott for Tailwind support, which allows Miraidon to outspeed and threaten to OHKO Calyrex-S. Miraidon also struggles against opponents foes that can maintain speed control, such as both Calyrex-S forms, which threaten big damage and outspeed in Tailwind and Calyrex-I in Trick Room, as they can outspeed Miraidon and it when in Tailwind or Trick Room, with threaten big damage. (AP) Calyrex-S often running runs Focus Sash and to take a hit from Miraidon, while Calyrex-I OHKOing OHKOes Miraidon with Glacial Lance. (Consulted with QC) It can also struggle against Groudon with redirection support, as Draco Meteor can be redirected and Precipice Blades threatens to OHKO in return. Miraidon should also carefully maintain Electric Terrain against Rillaboom in order to not have it's its damage output significantly reduced.
