MIRAIDON Pokemon Unite EVERYTHING You NEED To Know!

[@Kaze91]

The electro drift build could fully lean into the speedster thing and double stack specs and cookie along with spoon, since shields etc scale on hp. Spoon already gives hp and is mandatory, and the passive makes getting scores off of goals much easier. Depending on how broken everything shakes out, it could become the best "speedster" in the game which is weird for an attacker but could be really fun.

[@clacktloc5816]

Yeah thats a Big problem...he need to be weak if he use electro drft and parabólica. At the same time

[@arthurfourot5554]

Shield don't always scale on HP, we don't have the data RN but lucario shield scale of attack stat for example

[@arthurfourot5554]

And in fact the early game kit of miraidon is really not suited for stacking, of course if you win your gank is possible that you can stack 1-3 times, but even with electro drift mobility, without parabolic charge you will ben easily punished in case you don't obliterate the entire lane with more than 10sec of being a sitting duck. That's kind of risky in my opinion compared to powerful and no requiring items like choice specs and wise glasses, even a shell bell seems better than stacking i believe

[@Kaze91]

@@arthurfourot5554 the item choice will make you bulky enough to be able to handle using electro drift more safely. You ultimately are going in reguardless to use the move, and Miraidon is a bulkier attacker than most of them too. Its the same reason Zoroark and Dodrio etc do it, they have to be able to be able to get in and out without dying. Also, the unite and the basic attack allow miraidon to have way more flexibility compared to a normal speedster, and the hadron field makes ganking a goal much easier. Miraidon has all the tools it needs, and even 3 stacks would be massive considering the second move generates a shield. You also boost all your damage and allies damage in a hadron field, which is multiplying your gank success rate too. I dont think full sp items is bad but i feel it suits the ranged build alot more.

[@arthurfourot5554]

@@Kaze91 well, i don't fully disagree with you about all you've said, but I really doubt it will be the best way to play this mon... Zoroark and dodrio have the tools to escape if the fight goes badly not miraidon that can only go in. Sure it can work and the data will soon tell us if the scaling is rewarding or not for stacking items. We'll see how it goes but i personally prefer stronger gank lv5 than a risky playstyle that can put me as a jungler in disadvantage and have repercussions on my team

[@recalledgamer0010]

Miraidons unite move said "PK Starstorm!"

[@slandergames9494]

[@shaheerejaz1009]

[@gp8383]

It's not broken, you actually have to aim your moves. Learn how to counter it that's the fun part. It could only have to high damage but as for anyone using it effectively they will have to have a 🧠 brain.

[@crmarcus63017]

I think a Pokémon gets its class as attacker, speedster, etc. based on the move set that mimics its base moves. Every Pokémon in Unite has an evolved move set that mimics its original moves, but they are stronger and have more negative effects on other Pokémon or more positive effects on themselves. The parabolic charge and charge beam set look more like t-shock and t-wave, and this set looks more like an attacker than a speedster.

[@Nurylon]

I really like that since Miraidon’s passive procs focused on where Mirai is, it means that the “speedstery” build will possibly be more focused on applying the passive electro terrain “offensively” (i.e. more frequently on the enemy base) and the “attacker” build will possibly be more focused on applying the passive electro terrain “defensively” (i.e. more frequently on the team base). Or “attacker” Miraidon could be better for strengthening the backlines/adding damage upon kiting, or “speedster” Miraidon could be better at strengthening the frontlines/adding damage in the middle of a team fight. I love the idea of a Miraidon player picking which build/how their electric terrain might be easier applied based on team comp on a game by game basis :3

[@saitamasenku4042]

Miraidon function is similar to that of a supporter, he can add an attack to his teammates, even if the addition is small, it is still important to the team

[@pharaohonthetrack9544]

I can't wait for the Unite Pokedex to become bigger, Because there's so many cool pokemon that exist. who can make roles like defender & Supporter way cooler to play.

[@inferneo]

[@frustratedsquirrel]

Miraidon + cursed item. dive goal zone for days.

[@dlgarner]

I was thinking the same, his passive + incense

[@theladz8708]

Thw fact that it's kit is designed to reward landing skillshots or miss out on a ton of damage is surprisingly good design Depending on the damage this thing might actually be a balanced EX License

[@Matt-zo9hi]

I love how much they listen to their community. EVERYONE wanted more and more legendaries in the game. We shouted it from the rooftops. And they are giving us Miraidon. I can't wait for this.

[@williamhand1471]

I noticed that it’s dash move is hindrance resistance, and not unstoppable. Meaning buzz can grapple it and stop it mid dash.

[@Belesprit656]

Hopefully we see that balance patch when Miraidon comes out, it's been a while.

[@nyleo04]

Cool, so introducing terrains into Unite basically!! It's pretty much Electric Terrain with that side effect of no sleep. Can't wait to see other mons with terrains

[@Monkeyfuzz]

These are some of my favourite videos you do, thanks for the explanations, looking forward to trying future sandwich dragon out.

[@D-S-G.]

This looks like the first EX pokemon that will be fun to use for me. Zacian didnt really click and Mewtwo was literally turning your brain off so this looks like a mon I am actually excited for.

[@Badgah619]

Charge beam... If I understand this right, it's a beam that charges... Hope I got that right. Took me a long time to understand Power up punch too

[@spragels]

You think you understand it but it’s so much more complex 😂

[@mehrufus3763]

electro drift and charge beam should make him TAKE more dmg during this time just to make u more careful

[@gp8383]

This looks so well done! I'm not familiar with gen 9 at all I'm sure it suits the pokemon but so glad it's not a simple A button presser😅

[@degeneratewithasideoftidep6795]

It’s pretty accurate, save for the lack of sp.atk boosting moves (though they usually have that built into other moves that didn’t originally have it)

[@DiegoG2004]

Y'know, I appreciate that full Charge Beam, Electro Drift and the Unite Move give Hindrance Resist and not Unstoppable. Buzzwole stonks continue improving. And at least they seem to have learnt to be stingier with Unstoppable on Attackers.

[@Prince_Spoopy]

I think curse incense is gonna go so hard with Miraidon. Combined with the passive weakening goal zones that’s gonna be so fun to do.

[@redmaster015]

can't wait to another time where pikachu will shine as a counter with thunder, gonna need more timing than with mewtwo but squishy as he look, it's gonna be just fine😁

[@TheLMBLucas]

That build makes the most sense, but I'm tempted to use Resonant Guard to be more annoying lol. Mostly because of the damage buff to the allies (so stay a bit closer to them)

[@emanuellgabriel]

They should name the upcoming season as The Very Paldean Season. Maybe I would like to try Miraidon because we kinda lack playable Electric-type pokemon with only Pikachu and Zeraora inside the game if I remember correctly

[@KaiTheMemeKing]

That's literally How electric terrain works tho

[@mizukisnow2392]

That is how electric terrain work in pokemon game And also , there will alway be new counter to the existing skills / moveset / cc so get used to it

[@MrBells-un5ly]

The real decider for EX Pokémon is the legendary status. We have mythicals and sub legendaries that aren’t EX Pokémon but anything that is a box or restricted legendary by mainline VGC rules will be EX. So something like Landourus or Azelf wouldn’t be EX while a Lunala or Lugia would be EX.

[@Tal0n26]

I really hope the “speedster” set is the stronger one. I really dislike thunder on miraidon because it’s literally an easier (and likely stronger) version of pikachu’s thunder, the “glaceon effect”, I really dislike this. It’s passive also makes me think curse incense may be extremely good on it, basically stacking the healing reduction on enemy goals. I don’t want it to be OP, please don’t be OP.

A bit of a hot take, but I don't think Miraidon is going to be particularly game breaking as other event or EX mons were. Unless they decide to artificially inflate the numbers of its whole kit, but that would never happen... right?

Surprised you didn't mention slick spoon on it at all

[@spragels]

Oh it’s a given. You have to run it.

[@БезымянноеОблако]

Honestly, this "advantage in exchange for aeos energy" might be the best idea of how ex licences should work so far. This is the team leadership I can deal with. So far, it seems like even if it gives you advantage it also might screw up your game really really hard. I'm just seeing it: you used all of your aeos energy to make this electric field and create chance to score for your team, but your teammates doesn't even noticed and running around (because that's how quick match always goes). Or the opposite: one of your teammates took Miraidon not knowing how his passive works and wasted all of their aeos energy for nothing and be like: "where did all my aeos energy go?".

[@janewashappy]

so the engine ability is essentially a free team fight win button because it buffs all of your allies? correct me if i'm wrong but that seems like it's easily the most broken thing in miraidon's kit, or close to it

[@raymond2009v]

Flail Snorlax was so fun last night. Can’t wait for the buff.

[@PaulyGutes]

These EX mons just feel like they do so much, they do big damage, they can heal, they can get shields, they're mobile, they're bulkier than normal attackers. I hate this whole "EX" mons are leaders concept. At the very least make it so that only one can be chosen in ranked, at least until you can build a whole team, and then in that case you enter a "Ubers" meta.

[@abel_36]

A good nerf for parabolic charge, I think, would be to make it only restore half of a charge per hit, up to 100% when it hit 2 targets. Pikachu's thunder is already pretty good as is, and this one feels really solid as is. prolly still not as busted as Phalinx rn lol

[@knexwiz289]

Cuesed Insense with Thunder makes sense for the same reason it works on pika.

[@crmarcus63017]

I wonder how they’ll treat the electric terrain. In the main series games terrain’s effects applied to your Pokémon and your opponent’s Pokémon. Will they keep that here, or make it one sided? Having it treat ally and enemy goal zones differently makes sense and is going to be interesting though!
