[SET COMMENTS]
Double Dance Miraidon utilizes its high Speed, decent bulk, and immediate power to become a fearsome sweeper. Although Electro Drift is the preferred option for its power against Arceus formes, Necrozma-DM, and Zacian-C, Parabolic Charge is an option to increase Miraidon's longevity. Dazzling Gleam is an option over Dragon Pulse that pairs well with Tera Fairy to break Ting-Lu. Electric Seed's Defense boost lets Miraidon set up easily against physical attackers, including Extreme Killer Arceus, Choice Scarf Koraidon, Necrozma-DM, and Zacian-C lacking Play Rough. Leftovers gives Miraidon some flexibility to set up when pivoting into play. Finally, Life Orb boosts Miraidon's damage output massively, letting its Electro Drift OHKO Zacian-C without a Calm Mind boost. Tera Dragon is preferred for its power boost to Dragon Pulse, letting Miraidon 2HKO Clodsire and Ting-Lu with one layer of Spikes up after a Calm Mind boost while also letting it more easily set up on Arceus-Ground and Ting-Lu. Tera Fairy gives Miraidon the ability to set up on Koraidon and opposing Miraidon and powers up Dazzling Gleam enough to OHKO Ting-Lu when using a Life Orb, although Miraidon cannot beat Clodsire with this set. 8 Speed EVs allows Miraidon to outspeed Iron Bundle in Electric Terrain after an Agility boost.
Double Dance Miraidon is best on hyper offense teams, where other teammates like Koraidon and Zacian-C can wear down opposing Pokemon enough to let Miraidon easily sweep. Agility Eternatus is a strong teammate, since it can help wear down Miraidon's checks in Arceus-Ground, Clodsire, and Ting-Lu while absorbing Toxic Spikes. Glimmora, Deoxys-S, and Deoxys-A are good partners for setting entry hazards to wear down Miraidon's checks. Arceus-Ground and Necrozma-DM can help wear down a shared check in Ting-Lu, and Miraidon can pivot into Arceus-Water and Kyogre for them. Other hyper offense support Pokemon such as Grimmsnarl and Orthworm can help Miraidon set up, with the former letting Miraidon set up more easily under dual screens and the latter setting up Shed Tail against on Ground-types.

[SET COMMENTS]
This Miraidon set is a strong wallbreaker without the prediction reliance of Choice Specs Miraidon. Parabolic Charge is an option over Electro Drift in order to make up for Life Orb recoil, but Electro Drift's higher power lets Miraidon OHKO Zacian-C and Arceus-Fairy unboosted. Dragon Pulse provides a more spammable alternative to Draco Meteor that still 2HKOes Arceus-Ground and Clodsire after a Calm Mind boost. Taunt prevents recovery from Arceus formes and Clodsire, and Substitute eases prediction against Ground- and Fairy-type cores as well as against Terastallization. However, Substitute and Life Orb can significantly decrease Miraidon's longevity, so Draco Plate is generally preferred when running Substitute. Draco Plate is an alternative over Life Orb for similar power without the recoil. Tera Dragon is the preferred Tera type thanks to the significant power increase. Tera Dragon-boosted Draco Meteor Miraidon has a 50% chance to OHKO Ting-Lu after a Calm Mind, and a Modest nature guarantees the OHKO. Alternatively, Tera Bug paired with Substitute turns some of Miraidon's checks into setup fodder, as Arceus-Ground's Earthquake and Judgment and Clodsire's Earthquake do not break through Substitute. Solar Beam is another option that threatens to OHKO Ting-Lu after a Calm Mind boost and has no charge turn in sun.
This Miraidon set fits on offensively minded teams that don't mind the lack of longevity in exchange for its wallbreaking power. Sticky Web teams appreciate Miraidon's wallbreaking power to open up setup sweepers like Koraidon and Basculegion-M late-game and can make up for Miraidon's lack of Speed. Arceus-Ground and Necrozma-DM appreciate Miraidon potentially removing Ting-Lu. Entry hazard support from Clodsire, Ting-Lu, Glimmora, and Gliscor can wear down Ting-Lu and Arceus formes into range of Miraidon's unboosted attacks. Choice Scarf Koraidon and Zacian-C can revenge kill Miraidon, so checks to them such as Ho-Oh, Necrozma-DM, and Gliscor are appreciated.

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf Miraidon is a potent form of speed control that leverages its power and great Speed tier to be a strong alternative to Choice Scarf Koraidon. Miraidon's access to U-turn lets it bring teammates into the Ground-types it cannot power through immediately, such as Kyogre, Koraidon, Arceus-Fairy, and Chien-Pao. Tera Dragon powers up Miraidon's Draco Meteor and Dragon Pulse, letting Draco Meteor 2HKO Clodsire. Tera Electric powers up Miraidon's Electro Drift and Volt Switch but can be risky to use before opposing Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Arceus-Ground are eliminated. Tera Steel gives Miraidon a resistance to Dragon-type coverage and Extreme Speed, letting Miraidon revenge kill Extreme Killer Arceus, Scale Shot Koraidon, and Flutter Mane in sun in a pinch.
Miraidon's Speed tier makes it the fastest revenge killer in the tier, only tied with Choice Scarf Koraidon and outsped by Iron Bundle in Electric Terrain. However, it struggles with Ground-types such as Ting-Lu and Clodsire, which freely pivot into it and use it to set up entry hazards. Physical wallbreakers such as Koraidon, Necrozma-DM, and Zacian-C can pressure the aforementioned Ground-types. 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. This also frees up Koraidon's item slot, letting Koraidon run sweeper sets instead. Miraidon appreciates partners that can set entry hazards such as Gliscor, Ting-Lu, and Clodsire. Gliscor can remove Heavy-Duty Boots from opposing Pokemon while setting Spikes and Toxic Spikes, and Clodsire can absorb Toxic Spikes for Miraidon. Miraidon being locked into any of its STAB moves is exploitable, so having checks to Electric-type resists, such as Koraidon, Miraidon, and the aforementioned Ground-types, and Dragon-type resists, such as Arceus-Fairy, Zacian-C, and Necrozma-DM, is appreciated.
