Miraidon Uses Solar Beam Competitively. Here's Why. #pokemongame #pokemon #gaming

This is the Ubers Tier on Smogon for 6v6 Pokemon.

Thanks to Swellowthere for helping get the footage :)

Miraidon and Koraidon: Why be rivals when you can be bros?

[TheOtherNeutrino]

Miraidon: Ugh, it's that stupid moose again.
Koraidon: I gotchu fam.
Solar Beam Miraidon: Thanks bro.

INB4 Whimsicott becomes the ultimate miraidon counter in UBERS

[jimtsap]

Next short: Ting lu has adapted to the ubers metagame, it now runs tera fire to counter the counter to its counter by resisting tera grass koraidon solar beam and firing back with a sun boosted super effective tera blast fire

[handoverthestromboli]

i love how koraidon just has groudon's ability but better- the pokemon that harshens the sunlight just by waking up

[oxide]

I have no idea why everyone is talking about Whimsicott being a check to Miraidon just because it is grass/fairy. Just because it resists tera grass solar beam doesn't mean it doesn't still get 2hkoed by specs (never mind electro drift or even worse overheat). It only survives 2 if you use an assault vest and then you're using an assault vest prankster mon. Yes, it is immune to dragon but so is literally every other fairy.
Edit: Yes, Sub+Protect Whimsicott can stall out electro drift and solar beam with perfect conditions (no hazards, no status, no prior chip). It is nowhere near reliable, as after smacking it with electro drift/solar beam Miraidon will just switch out and 2hko it the next time it comes in.

Love to see Miraidon showing off its stuff more and more

I’m surprised Miraidon has avoided the ban hammer for this long

[vpattt]

It’s still crazy how 1 sets up the sun & gets an attack boost while the other sets up elec terrain & gets a sp attack boost

[JanusHoW]

Tera Grass also helps against the many Earthquakes that it likely faces by making it resist Ground, while removing its Fairy weakness as well. Nothing without an Electric resistance or immunity is going to want to switch into it. This strategy would even obliterate a yet-to-exist Fairy/Ground type that would otherwise be a relatively safe switch-in.

Using the opponents team against them is such a cool concept

[marcorodriguez]

Glad to see both of them working together

[LEGEND-spev]

Miraidon doing what heatran did in gen 5

[foodmr]

Family stays together fights together like parent like child here

[phantom_boii]

Assuming Ting Lus are running the set on the calculator, I wonder if they’ll switch to Assault Vest? Only issue with that is you can’t do much back to Miraidon.

[spookyscarylamppost]

This is why we call Ting Lu the Ting Lo-ser

[Tortaleaney]

I love the sound of this stragety because it feels right for Koriadon and Miraidon to work together even though they cononically never met. I dont know the two mysterious sandwhich loving reptiles seem like theyd get along and fight side by side.

[Quinnsicott]

cant wait for whimsicott to have a niche in ubers by checking miraidon

[stallsunguy]

This gets even funnier when you realize Koraidon can cover up against Ting-Lu for Miraidon by itself lmao

[motherhorse]

Another side effect of the almost permanent sun is Flutter Mane remaining great Pokémon in Ubers due to there being pretty much no good Specs switch-ins, especially with the lack of any good Ghost resists (Arceus-Normal is pretty good but people would much rather use other Arceus forms like Ground and Fairy.)
