Electric/Dragon gives Miraidon strong STAB coverage, and its stat spread wastes nothing on the offensive side. It outspeeds nearly everything without investment. Only weak to Ice, Ground, Dragon, and Fairy. Known as the Paradox Pokemon.
Miraidon's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Attack trails, 6 stats clear the bar. Near-impossible to catch and worth 3 Sp. Atk EVs, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Its characteristics match those of a mysterious object recorded in an old expedition journal as the Iron Serpent.
It was given the name Miraidon by the professor who discovered it. Its ecology and other details are unknown.
Miraidon Weakness
AvgMiraidon is weak to Ice, Ground, Dragon, and Fairy-type moves. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Miraidon's overall bulk (100/100/115) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
Miraidon is a powerhouse with 670 total stats as a Electric/Dragon legendary. Can't breed it, so you're locked to whatever you catch or receive.
How to Evolve
Electrodrift is the safe click most turns. Choice Specs locks Miraidon into it but rewards with boosted special damage with move lock. Timid nature and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs maximize that first hit. Hadronengine helps on the margins.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 10 types means almost nothing walls Miraidon cleanly, with Draco Meteor and Outrage anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.
