'''Miraidon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミライドン''' ''Miraidon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it appears to be a futuristic relative of {{p|Cyclizar}}. Miraidon has five [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Koraidon and Miraidon|different forms]] when it travels the [[Paldea]] region or adapts to a situation.

Miraidon is the [[game mascot]] appearing on the box art of {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet}}. It is a [[Paradox Pokémon]], also known as the "Iron Serpent"<!--, and a member of the [[Legendary duo|Legendary Scarlet/Violet duo]] along with {{p|Koraidon}}-->.

Ultimate Mode Miraidon is a large robotic reptilian Pokémon. Most of its body is violet in color, although its face, claws, abdomen, and tail are gray. Additionally, there are light blue accents on its shoulders and legs, the latter of which resemble jet engines when folded and allow it to float in the air. Its head has a dark purple {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}}, circular purple cheeks, two pairs of antennae, and black eyes. The eyes have a pixelated display; they usually show yellow-cyan pupils, although Miraidon can simulate blinking by changing the display pattern. Inside Miraidon's body is what appears to be purplish-yellow energy, with light blue streaks accenting it. This energy is mostly concentrated on its throat (forming a prominent circular growth), tail, and antennae (which can emit the energy in a manner similar to electricity).

Low-Power Mode Miraidon walks on all fours, with the jet engine-like legs unfolding. The antennae become light sliver along with the throat. The eyes are light blue. The other glowing parts of its body become violet. Miraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling. It remains in this form unless it needs to change and adapt.

Miraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel. Drive Mode Miraidon can generate the energy in its tail and throat and turn them into wheel-like rings, which allow it to accelerate. Aquatic Mode Miraidon is similar in appearance to Drive Mode and propels itself using both its rings and the jet engines on its legs. Glide Mode Miraidon moves its antennae in order to expand an energy membrane, allowing it to glide through the sky.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/legendary_pokemon/ Legendary Pokémon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Miraidon was brought to the current era through a time machine created by [[Professor Turo]] but different from the other [[Paradox Pokémon]]. He was capable of only bringing two of them, and also the one who coined Miraidon's name. Miraidon is known as the ''Iron Serpent'' and is said to be much more ruthless and powerful than its ancestor {{p|Cyclizar}}. It is powerful enough to use its lightning to turn the land into ash.  

While apparently accustomed to humans, Miraidon uses its power of insight and observation to carefully judge a person's character before it decides whether to join them or not. It has a calm and collected disposition, and it is very difficult for others to tell what it is thinking or feeling due to its robotic nature, with the only available hints presented in its eyes. In its Ultimate Mode, it keeps itself afloat to maintain an advantageous position that applies pressure to grounded opponents, and it anticipates their moves before striking at their weak points. It uses the electricity generated in its internal organs to charge its claws, fangs, and tail. One strike from its charged tail is said to knock out even the sturdiest foe in one hit.<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/miraidon/</ref>

Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}.

* Miraidon and {{p|Koraidon}} are the only [[Paradox Pokémon]] whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.

** Additionally, they’re the only Paradox Pokémon to each have their own unique abilities.  

* Miraidon is the tallest Paradox Pokémon and the only future Paradox Pokémon to be larger than its {{p|Cyclizar|regular counterpart}}, rather than smaller.

Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic {{wp|Chinese dragon}} and various lizards, such as the {{wp|anole}} or the genera ''{{wp|Sitana}}'' and ''{{wp|Sarada (lizard)|Sarada}}'' — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various {{wp|motor vehicle|motorized vehicle}}s, with its {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} resembling a motorcycle windshield, its shoulders being similar to handlebars, its rear looking like the backrest of a vehicle seat, its throat and tail resembling wheels when active, and its legs resembling {{wp|jet engine|jet engines}} or {{wp|exhaust pipes}}. Miraidon's ability to rearrange itself when changing between forms may be inspired by {{wp|transforming robots}}.

Looking at its snake-like body and its Electric type, it possibly takes inspiration from el {{wp|Cuélebre}}, a famous creature from the {{wp|Spanish mythology}}, oftenly associated with the thunder.

Miraidon may be a combination of 未来 ''mirai'' (future), ライド ''raido'' (ride), ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

Tetsunoorochi, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 鉄の大蛇 ''tetsu no orochi'' (iron serpent).
