[SET COMMENTS]
With Magic Guard, Miraidon is a powerful wallbreaker that can exploit passive foes relying on Mortal Spin and Salt Cure to deal damage; its typing and Speed also allow it to soft check slower foes like Mega Lucario and Ash-Greninja. Torch Song hits Steel-types like Registeel and Mega Steelix while boosting Miraidon's Special Attack. Thunder Cage traps foes, deals good chip damage to special walls, and is an overall decent high-PP STAB move; alternatively, Volt Switch makes Miraidon a very effective pivot. Dragon Energy, when boosted by Life Orb, becomes a very powerful attack against foes taking chip from Thunder Cage. Strength Sap is a burst healing option that's easy to Imposter-proof and keeps Dragon Energy's Base Power high. Miraidon's ability to heavily chip down special walls makes other special attackers like Choice Specs Flutter Mane good partners; other teammates relying on passive damage such as Salt Cure users also appreciate Miraidon as an offensive Imposter-proofer. Miraidon will never beat Arceus-Ground and struggles against Magic Guard Blissey and specially defensive Mega Swampert, so allies like Ultra Necrozma and Simple Arceus-Ghost are useful. Imposter-proof Miraidon with Ice Scales Arceus-Ground or Magic Guard Blissey; Imposter Chansey can also work, but it's less reliable due to taking chip damage from Thunder Cage.
