{{Main|Miraidon (Pokémon)}}Miraidon has a meek and gentle personality. Though initially wary, it bonds with the player and accompanies them during their journey throughout the Paldea [[region]]. Miraidon shows compassion towards [[Arven]]'s {{p|Mabosstiff}} and curiosity towards [[Penny]], despite the former's initial distaste of it and the latter's shyness. Throughout the journey, it slowly regains its strength, allowing Miraidon to utilize additional forms to help the player navigate Paldea's terrain. Miraidon is initially hesitant to enter Area Zero due to its previous encounter with the other Miraidon, but with the support of the player and friends, Miraidon finds the courage to face its old nemesis and finally defeat it.
 
It is shown to have a voracious appetite. During the Path of Legends quest, Miraidon develops a taste for Herba Mystica [[sandwich]]es, much to Arven's initial perplexity. After completing the story of The Indigo Disk, Amarys gives the player an ample supply of Flight Mode supplements, but Miraidon immediately and eagerly gobbles them all in one go.
===Background===
Around 10 years ago, Miraidon was brought from the distant future to [[Area Zero]] by [[Professor Turo]]'s [[time machine]]. He eventually brought the Pokémon to his home, where his son [[Arven]] lived with his {{p|Maschiff}}. Miraidon lived with the family in secret for some time until, one day, it attacked several wild Pokémon and attracted unwanted attention, forcing Turo to take it back to Area Zero.

At some point, a second Miraidon was brought through the time machine, but this one proved far more belligerent and aggressive than the first. One day, the aggressive Miraidon forced a violent territorial dispute which ended with Research Station No. 4 being destroyed and Turo being gravely injured trying to protect the passive Miraidon. Wounded and traumatized, the timid Miraidon flew away from Area Zero.

It flies out of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] before it loses consciousness and crash lands on a beach below [[Poco Path]]. The [[Player character|player]] happens to fall to the beach where Miraidon is resting in its Low-Power Mode and offers it their [[Sandwich (item)|sandwich]], which revitalizes it enough to switch to Ultimate Mode. As Miraidon leads the player through [[Inlet Grotto]], a group of {{p|Houndour}} led by a {{p|Houndoom}} start to harass Miraidon. Though it tries to scare them off by roaring, this only causes the Houndour to attack the player instead, forcing Miraidon to grab them and escape. However, this uses up its remaining strength, reverting it to its Low-Power Mode again. The player meets Arven at Poco Path, who regards Miraidon with contempt and gives the player [[Miraidon's Poké Ball]] after losing to them in a battle, all too glad to have Miraidon off his hands.

After the player attends [[Uva Academy]] and begins the Treasure Hunt, Miraidon regains enough strength to access its Drive Mode, allowing the player to ride it across the [[Paldea]] region. One of the player's long-term objectives, the Path of Legends, sees them battling the five [[Titan Pokémon]] to help Arven find the source of their strength: the [[Herba Mystica]]. Arven creates recipes with the Herba Mystica to help his wounded {{p|Mabosstiff}} recover from its injuries. Miraidon, having acquired a taste for sandwiches, eagerly prompts the player to share their Herba Mystica sandwiches with it, despite Arven's objections. Eating the sandwiches causes Miraidon to regain its strength and unlock more abilities to traverse Paldea with.
==== Path of Legends ====
After the player attends [[Uva Academy]] and begins the Treasure Hunt, Miraidon regains enough strength to access its Drive Mode, allowing the player to ride it across the [[Paldea]] region. One of the player's long-term objectives is to find and defeat the five [[Titan Pokémon]], helping Arven find the source of their strength: the [[Herba Mystica]]. Arven creates recipes with the Herba Mystica to help his wounded {{p|Mabosstiff}} recover from its injuries. Miraidon, having acquired a taste for sandwiches, eagerly prompts the player to share their Herba Mystica sandwiches with it, despite Arven's objections. Eating the sandwiches causes Miraidon to regain its strength and unlock more abilities to traverse Paldea with.


After the player completes all three story paths and begin The Way Home, they, [[Nemona]], Arven, and [[Penny]] prepare to enter Area Zero, but Miraidon fearfully hesitates due to its trauma. The player and company force it to carry them down into the crater anyway, but while it manages to get them all down there (despite a rough landing), Miraidon returns to its Poké Ball and refuses to come out. It is finally called back out in front of the [[Zero Lab]] before the door is opened, but as this happens, Miraidon encounters its old nemesis, the aggressive Miraidon, who immediately threatens it before entering the now-opened Zero Lab. This leaves it too scared to help the player and friends fend off the other hostile [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the Zero Lab, but Arven, who is piecing together the truth of his and Miraidon's past, encourages it to face its enemy inside the lab while he holds back the Paradox Pokémon outside.
==== ★ Starfall Street ★ ====
Everytime the player defeats one of the bosses of [[Team Star]] and leaves their bases, [[Penny]] appears outside to congratulate and pay the player for their work, Miraidon however, comes out of its Poké Ball and starts to playfully lick Penny all over, showing great affection to her even against her will.


The player and Miraidon meet the late Professor Turo's AI counterpart inside the lab, and when the other Miraidon approaches them, he returns it to its [[Master Ball]]. The player heeds AI Turo's request to shut down the professor's time machine before it releases enough future Pokémon to destroy Paldea's ecosystem, but the time machine resists by overriding the AI and making it battle the player. After the AI's team is defeated, the Paradise Protection Protocol initializes in response, locking all Poké Balls not registered to Professor Turo's ID and forcing the AI to send out the aggressive Miraidon. The player's only option is to send out Miraidon, since its Poké Ball is still registered to Turo's ID. Having recovered its strength, and with moral support from the player and friends, Miraidon assumes its Ultimate Mode and faces its nemesis, finally defeating it. From this moment on, the player can freely switch Miraidon between serving as their Ride Pokémon in its Drive Mode (and other associated Modes) or a member of their party in its Ultimate Mode.
==== The Way Home ====
After the player completes all three story paths, they, [[Nemona]], Arven, and Penny prepare to enter Area Zero, but Miraidon fearfully hesitates due to its trauma. The player and company force it to carry them down into the crater anyway, but while it manages to get them all down there (despite a rough landing), Miraidon returns to its Poké Ball and refuses to come out. It is finally called back out in front of the [[Zero Lab]] before the door is opened, but as this happens, Miraidon encounters its old nemesis, the aggressive Miraidon, who immediately threatens it before entering the now-opened Zero Lab. This leaves it too scared to help the player and friends fend off the other hostile [[Paradox Pokémon]] from the Zero Lab, but Arven, who is piecing together the truth of his and Koraidon's past, encourages it to face its enemy inside the lab while he holds back the Paradox Pokémon outside.


Later, during the story of [[The Indigo Disk]], the player enters [[Blueberry Academy]]'s BB League. One of the BB League's [[Elite Four]], [[Amarys]], requires the player to pass her Flying Time Trial, in which challengers must clear the course on flight-capable Ride Pokémon within a certain amount of time. To enable this, Amarys gives the player a supplement made from herbs growing in the [[Terarium]] that temporarily enables Miraidon to enter its Flight Mode, allowing it to freely fly through the air. After the story is completed, Amarys offers more supplements so the player and Miraidon can fly whenever they need to, but to her surprise, Miraidon devours all of the supplements right away, causing it to power up and gain permanent access to its Flight Mode.

===== Part 1: The Teal Mask =====
During the player's schooltrip to [[Kitakami]], Miraidon comes out of its Poké Ball again as it hears the word sandwich, surprising [[Kieran]] that the player possesses such an amazing and rare Pokémon.
 
===== Part 2: The Indigo Disk =====
Later on, the player enters [[Blueberry Academy]]'s BB League. One of the BB League's [[Elite Four]], [[Amarys]], requires the player to pass her Flying Time Trial, in which challengers must clear the course on flight-capable Ride Pokémon within a certain amount of time. To enable this, Amarys gives the player a supplement made from herbs growing in the [[Terarium]] that temporarily enables Miraidon to enter its Glide Mode, allowing it to freely fly through the air. Later on, after the player, Kieran, [[Carmine]] and [[Briar]] travel all the way into [[Area Zero Underdepths]], Kieran, determined to defeat the player using [[Terapagos (Pokémon)|Terapagos]], Terastallizes it and causes it to lose control and almost kill him with a Terastal energy blast, being saved just in time by Miraidon who was sent out to protect him by the player.


After the story is completed, Amarys offers more supplements so the player and Miraidon can fly whenever they need to, but to her surprise, Miraidon devours all of the supplements right away, causing it to power up and gain permanent access to its Flying Build.

In excitement, Miraidon comes out of its Poké Ball once again to excitedly greet their former owner, who it clearly cares and misses deeply, becoming saddened as Turo returns to her own timeline now with Briar's Book
