Pros:
* Miraidon Has a Niche with its abillity to activate electric terrain on field and its abillity to multipe its special attack when the terrain is active that cheks kyogre,pelliper and tornadus. it can provide supports for anti sleep metagme and helps the future paradox pokemon to boost their stats thanks to quack drive. in addition he has both volt switch and u-turn provides it switching tools for other opposing terrain users like Indeedee-F and Rillaboom. finally the choice specs set can boost its already high special attack under the terrain and the boosted Electro Drift.

*Good Temates are The future paradox pokemon especially Assault vest Iron Hands booting its attack and wild charge, Iron Bundle Boosting its speed instead of booster energy, Giving niches for Iron Moth as a Special Attacker, Iron Jugulis Tailwind Supports. In addition it has great Compabillity with dozogiri making them unable to sleep and giving them another tera options. Ogerpon-H is a good redirection pokemon, urshifu-s with offensive support, kingambit as anti trick room and of course tornadus/whimsicott tailwind support.

*Cons:
Miraidon is fast means when a pokemon slower like Indeedee-F and Rillaboom enters the field it changes the terrain making Miraidon forced to switch out or force it to tera. in addition it is really vulnerable to Fake Out and priority moves and it needs redirection support from Ogerpon-H or W in order to stay alive.

Hey, to be honest I have a feeling the QC team will deem this not being close to meeting the Quality Check, and hence give this set to somebody else instead (else it would take too long to get out). Additionally, the spelling isn't great here, it order to make it as easy as possible for the GC team please correct the spelling mistakes, and capitalise the names of Pokemon and moves. You should also ensure the analysis are in the correct format as it isn't currently https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/vgc-2024-analysis-format.3711711/#post-10097511. Finally you must look at the best performing Miraidon teams at Indianapolis Regionals, and also maybe in grass roots tours, as this analysis strongly suggests that you haven't done this. Regardless, here is a amateur QC which I suggest implementing:

Pros:
* Miraidon Has a Niche with its abillity to activate electric terrain (I wouldn't say Miraidon is a niche - it's a very popular restricted - going to be even more popular following Raghav's Indy win. Good analysis start with talking about the role a pokemon fills - Miraidon is a sweeper and the team will usually revolve around ensuring it gets the position it needs to sweep through games.) on field and its abillity to multipe its special attack when the terrain is active (this is just repeating dex info, I would suggest instead saying it hits very hard with electric terrain up) that cheks kyogre,pelliper and tornadus (here you give the impression of repeating the type chart which should be avoided. Instead of throwing it onto the end of a sentence try to go a bit more in depth on why it has good matchups into these archetypes, such as saying it outspeeds Kyogre). it can provide supports for anti sleep metagme Electric Terrain prevents Spore from Amoonguss and helps the future paradox pokemon to boost their stats thanks to quack drive. (Strong Miraidon teams are not run alongside Quark Drive Pokemon, such a Rafhav's regional winning team. This is because most of the quark drive mons aren't very good, or dont synergise well with Miraidon. in addition he has both volt switch and u-turn (why run u turn!?) provides it switching tools for other opposing terrain users like Indeedee-F and Rillaboom. (try to speak a little more on why the pivoting moves are good. They help it keep terrain up in terrain wars with Rillaboom like you mentioned, Since Miraidon is so fast it will usually go first, prevent it from taking much damage, making it difficult to pin down and trade damage on). finally the choice specs set can boost its already high special attack under the terrain and the boosted Electro Drift. Benefits all it's attacks not just electro drift. You should go into more depth on why this is good - what KOs can Specs Miraidon now pick up - Tera electric volt switch into Incineroar comes to mind).
You also need to talk about why each tera types are used, the trade offs between running dazzling gleam and discharge, go more in depth into strong matchups.

*Good Temates are The future paradox pokemon especially Assault vest Iron Hands booting its attack and wild charge, Iron Bundle Boosting its speed instead of booster energy, Giving niches for Iron Moth as a Special Attacker, Iron Jugulis Tailwind Supports (as i said before none of the quark drive Pokemon are good alongside Miraidon as they do not give it the support it needs. If you are unsure about the Pokemon Miraidon is run beside, please at the top performing Miraidon teams at the indy regionals). In addition it has great Compabillity with dozogiri making them unable to sleep and giving them another tera options. (although not necesarrily wrong, results in grassroots tours and regionals have not show it to b strong when paired with Dozo giri, so shouldn't be included). Ogerpon-H is a good redirection pokemon (Is Ogerpon-H the best redirection mon and if so why? Ogerpon-C was the Ogerpon was paired with at Ragav's indy team - I'm mentioning this team a lot as miraidon struggled a lot in limitless tours pre indy, and so raghav's team is confortably the best case study not only because it won but also how dominating it looked in sets, Raghav went 18-0 day 1), urshifu-s with offensive support, kingambit as anti trick room and (this is speculative as none these pokemon have not performed to a high standard alongside Miraidon). of course tornadus/whimsicott tailwind support. What matchups does tailwind support help miraidon in?

*Cons:
Miraidon is fast means when a pokemon slower like Indeedee-F and Rillaboom enters the field it changes the terrain making Miraidon forced to switch out or force it to tera. (should be rephrased to show how miraidon "can" struggle in terrain wars, how can the pokemon it paired with help with this e.g. incineroar) in addition it is really vulnerable to Fake Out and priority moves (Go more in depth onto why it stuggles with Fake Out - it can't run protect. How are teambuilders getting around this - farigiraf. Prior to indy most players delt with miraidon by fake out and attacking it, which is part of the reason Farigiraf + Miraidon did so well!) and it needs benefits from redirection support from Ogerpon-H or W in order to stay alive. It doesn't "need" redirection support to stay alive - most of the time it volt switches before it is attacked).
You must also mention the poor matchup it has into Calyrex-I - especially Tera-grass variants that resist it's electric moves. If Calyrex-I gets trick room up Miraidon teams can really struggle).
