Miraidon (game): Difference between revisions

'''Miraidon''' (Japanese: '''ミライドン''' ''Miraidon'') is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] and major character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]].

At some point, a second Miraidon was brought as well, way more agressive than the first one and in one day, it started a territorial battle with it, this battle ended with the death of Turo and the first Miraidon being so wounded and traumatized, that it flew away from Area Zero.

====Pokémon Violet====

It flew out of the [[Great Crater of Paldea]] before crash landing on a beach below [[Poco Path]]. After awakening, a group of {{p|Houndour}} led by a {{p|Houndoom}} living in [[Inlet Grotto]] started to harass Miraidon. Though Miraidon tried to scare them off by roaring, this only caused the Houndour to attack the [[Player character|player]] instead, forcing Miraidon to grab them and escape.

====Personality and characteristics====

Miraidon showed a meek and gentle personality. Though initial wary, it bonded with the player and accompanied 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. Prior to entering Area Zero, Miraidon was still hesitant about entering due to its previous encounter with the other Miraidon. However, with the support of the player and their various friends, Miraidon joined them as they ventured into the crater, later helping protect the group from the other Miraidon.

During the Path of Legends quest, Miraidon developed a taste for [[Herba Mystica]] [[sandwich]]es, much to Arven's initial perplexity.

====Forms====

In Pokémon Violet, Miraidon can assume a series of modes which can be used for travel. By pressing +, the player can enter and use Miraidon's Drive Mode. In this Mode, the player can ride on Miraidon, replacing the [[bike]] and [[Ride Pokémon]] from previous games.  

* Defeating the Stony Cliff Titan grants Miraidon the ability to dash, giving Miraidon a higher speed option when pressing the left stick. It may be possible to activate dash from jumping or sliding down steep hills.

* Defeating the Open Sky Titan grants Miraidon the full ability to use its Swimming build, allowing it to swim outside of cities and towns, replacing the {{m|Surf}} [[HM]] from earlier games.

* Defeating the Lurking Steel Titan grants Miraidon the ability to jump higher.

* Defeating the Quaking Earth Titan grants Miraidon the full ability to use its Glide Mode. Working similarly to [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|Braviary]], pressing B while in the air gives Miraidon the ability to fall slower and travel in the air for a short time before dropping.  

* Defeating the False Dragon Titan grants Miraidon the ability to climb. Similar to [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|Sneasler]], by jumping and touching a wall, Miraidon can attach itself to said wall if the player presses B, allowing Miraidon to escalate the wall in all directions. Pressing the B button again will allow Miraidon to detached itself from the wall.

* When confronting its fellow Miraidon at the end of the game, Miraidon regains access to the Ultimate Mode it used at the beginning of the game, allowing the player to subsequently use it in proper battle.

* After completing [[The Indigo Disk]]'s main story, players can talk to [[Amarys]] in Classroom 3-2 of [[Blueberry Academy]]. Doing so grants Miraidon access to its Flight Mode. Working somewhat similarly to [[Soaring in the sky|Soar,]] pushing down the Left Stick while in Glide Mode allows Miraidon to fly freely around the map.

* Despite it originally being registered to Turo's ID, by the time the player can use it in battle, it is registered to the player's ID. The same is also true with {{ga|Koraidon}} and [[Professor Sada]]. However, this is not the case in the battle against the Paradise Protection Protocol, as Miraidon's met data is incomplete at that time.<ref>[https://twitter.com/orangeauroratwt/status/1634778456805494786 @orangeauroratwt on Twitter]</ref>
