==Biology==
==Biology==
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).
[[File:Miraidon tongue Adventures.png|thumb|left|150px|Miraidon's robotic tongue]]
Miraidon is a large, robotic {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In general, its body is mostly metallic violet, though its face, neck, abdomen, tail, and knee joints are silver, and its claws are white. Miraidon's most prominent feature is the {{wp|gular skin|gular sac}} on its throat, whose appearance changes between its different forms. Its head has a small, dark purple {{wp|Casque (anatomy)|casque}} similar in appearance to a motorcycle's windshield and circular purple cheeks. Its eyes resemble a {{wp|LED display}}: the sclerae and pupils are black, while the irises are composed of the pixels. Miraidon is capable of simulating blinking by changing the pattern displayed. Two small, connected silver plates border each eye, giving the impression of eyelids, from where a pair of long antennae extend. From each shoulder, a curved handlebar-like structure protrude backwards. On its lower back, right above the beginning of its tail, there is a black structure similar to a {{wp|Fender (vehicle)|rear fender}}. Each foot has three claws, with the central one having a vertical black line in the middle. Its tail and throat are grooved like a {{wp|tire tread}}.  


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.
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 spite of its mechanical nature, Miraidon seems to possess some sort of digestive system, as it is able to eat the [[Herba Mystica]] [[sandwich]]es and regain its strength throughout the {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Path of Legends}} storyline; furthermore, [[Pokémon Adventures]] has shown that Miraidon has a robotic tongue, similar in aspect to its gular sac. Overall, it shares many resemblances to the modern-day {{p|Cyclizar}}, although Miraidon is described as far more powerful and ruthless. Miraidon as a species were brought to the depths of [[Area Zero]] by a [[time machine]] built by [[Professor Turo]] ten years ago. Unlike other [[Paradox Pokémon]], however, only two specimen were brought: {{ga|Miraidon|a quirky, friendly one}} and [[Professor Turo#Second battle|a belligerent, territorial one]]. Despite this, its true origin is unknown: according to [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]], Miraidon is a future Pokémon related to Cyclizar; however, a Turo brought to the [[Crystal Pool]] by {{p|Terapagos}} claims Miraidon to be a counterpart of Cyclizar from another timeline. It was known as the "'''Iron Serpent'''" at the time the [[Violet Book]] was written; its modern-day name, Miraidon, was coined by Professor Turo, possibly as a result of a {{wp|Temporal paradox#Bootstrap paradox|bootstrap paradox}}.<ref>[[Professor Turo]]: "''Is that right? So its name is Miraidon... Hm. That's a good name.''" ({{g|Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref>


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>
The rest of Miraidon's ecology and other details regarding it is unknown.
 
Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Hadron Engine}} as an [[Ability]].
 
===Forms===
Miraidon has five [[form]]s: Ultimate Mode, Low-Power Mode, Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Glide Mode.

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.  
;Ultimate Mode
[[File:Miraidon attacks anime.png|thumb|250px|Ultimate Mode Miraidon shooting electricity from its jet engines]]
In Ultimate Mode, Miraidon's body becomes charged with purplish-yellow energy. As a result, the gular sac on its throat becomes filled and inflates, with the grooves emiting a bluish-white glow; its antennae flare with electricity, now resembling lightning bolts; and its tail emits the energy in its middle section and at the tip. Miraidon's back legs have folded into its thighs, forming a pair of structures similar to jet engines, which allow it to hover and fly through the air. Its irises are light blue on the outside and yellow on the inside. On its cheeks, arms, handlebars, and thighs, there are areas filled with light purple energy. When it falls asleep, it turns itself off, causing the blue and yellow energy on its throat, tail and antennae to turn turn silver, similar to what happens in its Low-Power Mode.


Miraidon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Electro Drift}}.
In battle, Miraidon 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. It is said that one strike from its charged tail is able to knock out even the sturdiest foe.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/miraidon/ Miraidon — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website] </ref> The lightning it can shoot from its mouth, neck, or jet engines is said to powerful enough to turn the land to ash. According to [[Arven]], this is Miraidon's true form.<ref>[[Arven]]: "''The form {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} takes in battle... That's its true form.''" ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref>

;Low-Power Mode
File:Miraidon Violet.png|Low-Power Mode
In Low-Power Mode, Miraidon is quadrupedal. It lacks the purplish-yellow energy that seems to overflow from its Ultimate Mode; as such, the gular sac on its throat, its antennae, and its tail are less colorful, being in a monochromatic silver. Its irises are solely light blue. On its cheeks, antennae, handlebars, and thighs, there are areas filled with light purple energy.

==In the manga==
In Drive Mode, Miraidon generates energy in its tail and throat and turns them into wheel-like rings, which allow it to accelerate and climb cliffs. In Aquatic Mode, Miraidon's wheel-like rings expand in size, allowing it to float in water; it can propel itself by rotating its rings or using its jet engines. In Glide Mode, Miraidon's antennae extend in order to spread an energy membrane, allowing it to glide or fly 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><ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/flying/ Unlock the Power to Fly with Koraidon or Miraidon! - Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> In all of these forms, Miraidon's tail remains tucked in and its back legs remain folded, revealing its jet engines.

===NPC appearances===
{{main|Miraidon (game)}}
* '''[[Pokémon Violet]]''': '''{{ga|Miraidon}}''' is a major character in the game.
* '''[[Pokémon Violet]]''': Another '''[[Professor Turo#Second battle|Miraidon]]''', also known as '''the Guardian of Paradise''', is the secondary antagonist and a boss in the game. It was brought to the [[Pokémon world]] sometime after the first one through [[Professor Turo]]'s "[[time machine]]" and is shown to be far more aggressive and belligerent than it, which eventually caused both to became rivals.
** At some point in [[Area Zero]], both Miraidon got into a territorial battle where the first one was defeated, but saved just in time by Professor Turo, who sacrificed his life to save it, after that, it was forced to escape Area Zero, traumatized by what happened there and leaving the second Miraidon as the strongest Pokémon in Area Zero and making it its territory.
** In The Way Home, the second Miraidon appears to the {{player}}, [[Nemona]], [[Penny]], [[Arven]] and the first Miraidon, only to attempt to start another battle to kick Miraidon out of its territory once again, however, the [[Zero Lab]]'s is opened and instead of attacking, it walks inside it, leaving the first Miraidon even more scared of it. The player and Miraidon go inside after defeating some [[Paradox Pokémon]] and inside, they meet [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]], who calls the second Miraidon back inside its [[Master Ball]].
** After the player defeats the controlled AI Turo to deactivate the time machine, the Paradise Protection Protocol is activated, locking all of the heroes' [[Poké Ball]]s as a last resort to defend the time machine, sending out the Guardian of Paradise, who's defeated once and for all by the player's Miraidon after {{Tera}}stallizing into a {{t|Dragon}} [[type]].
** Later on in the post-game, the player can find the now Trainer-less Miraidon out of the Zero Lab and catch it, supposedly due to its Master Ball being out of reach.

* Of all Pokémon, Miraidon and Koraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth 'low-power' forms, yet can only battle in their 'high-power' forms.
** Curiously, the forms are fully usable in battle when hacked into the game, albeit with various glitches and oddities.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet#Dex_Entries Miraidon & Koraidon's Ride forms on The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
*** In its unused Pokédex entry, the Ride forms of Miraidon are smaller than its Ultimate Mode, at 9'2" / 2.7m tall.
** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
* The modes of Miraidon in Japanese and Korean use borrowed words from English, showing modernity, while the builds of {{p|Koraidon}} in the same languages use [[wikipedia:Sino-Japanese vocabulary|Sino-Japanese]] and [[wikipedia:Sino-Korean vocabulary|Sino-Korean]] words respectively, showing tradition and the past.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Miraidon was able to learn {{m|Power Gem}} at level 49. After updating the game, it can only learn it via [[TM]].
* Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Miraidon can't learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}. It shares this trait with its counterpart {{p|Koraidon}}.


===Origin===
===Origin===
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}}.

Its  robotic look might also be a reference to how futuristic cultures are often depicted with the overuse of machines and robots, as opposed to Koraidon's traditional look. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various {{wp|motor vehicle|motorized vehicle}}s (such as a {{wp|sport bike}} and other super bikes designed with maneuverability in mind for city streets and highways), 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}}. Miraidon's color scheme, along with the name of the game it debuts in, possibly stemmed from violet being on the opposite side of the visible spectrum of light from red (a prominent color associated with Pokémon Scarlet and Koraidon) as well as violet occasionally being associated with space (which is often considered the "final frontier", tying to Miraidon's hypothetical future motifs).
 
Given its serpentine body and its {{t|Electric}} [[type]], it may take inspiration from {{wp|Sugaar}} in {{wp|Basque mythology}}. Originally venerated as the god of storms and thunder in pre-Christian Basque beliefs, Sugaar takes the form of a serpent and embodies lightning.

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).
Miraidon may be a combination of 未来 ''mirai'' (future), ライド ''raido'' (ride), and ''dragon'', ''don'' (Spanish for lord), or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
 
Miraidon's name may have been intentionally designed to sound phonetically like ''me ride on'', referencing how the player rides around the Paldea region on it.
 
Its alternate name, Iron Serpent, is literally ''iron serpent''.
 
Tetsuno'orochi, its alternate name in Japanese, can be taken literally as 鉄の大蛇 ''tetsu no orochi'' (iron serpent).
 
Due to a {{wp|bootstrap paradox}} involving a version of [[Professor Turo]] [[time travel]]ing from the past, it is possible that the player in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] may be responsible for indirectly coining Miraidon's name.

Miraidon (Japanese: ミライドン Miraidon) is a dual-type Electric/Dragon Legendary Paradox Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is said to be a future relative of Cyclizar. It also has an ancient counterpart, Koraidon.

Miraidon has five different transformations it can change between as it traverses varying terrain and adapts to different situations. Its forms include:

  • Low-Power Mode when it has little power.
  • Drive Mode when traveling on land.
  • Aquatic Mode when traveling in water.
  • Glide Mode when traveling in the skies.
  • Ultimate Mode during battle and when at full strength.

Miraidon is the game mascot of Pokémon Violet, appearing on the game's box art in its Ultimate Mode. It is also known as the "Iron Serpent" (Japanese: テツノオロチ Tetsuno'orochi). Along with Koraidon, it is considered part of the Paradox duo by fans.

Biology

Miraidon's robotic tongue

Miraidon is a large, robotic reptilian Pokémon. In general, its body is mostly metallic violet, though its face, neck, abdomen, tail, and knee joints are silver, and its claws are white. Miraidon's most prominent feature is the gular sac on its throat, whose appearance changes between its different forms. Its head has a small, dark purple casque similar in appearance to a motorcycle's windshield and circular purple cheeks. Its eyes resemble a LED display: the sclerae and pupils are black, while the irises are composed of the pixels. Miraidon is capable of simulating blinking by changing the pattern displayed. Two small, connected silver plates border each eye, giving the impression of eyelids, from where a pair of long antennae extend. From each shoulder, a curved handlebar-like structure protrude backwards. On its lower back, right above the beginning of its tail, there is a black structure similar to a rear fender. Each foot has three claws, with the central one having a vertical black line in the middle. Its tail and throat are grooved like a tire tread.

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 spite of its mechanical nature, Miraidon seems to possess some sort of digestive system, as it is able to eat the Herba Mystica sandwiches and regain its strength throughout the Path of Legends storyline; furthermore, Pokémon Adventures has shown that Miraidon has a robotic tongue, similar in aspect to its gular sac. Overall, it shares many resemblances to the modern-day Cyclizar, although Miraidon is described as far more powerful and ruthless. Miraidon as a species were brought to the depths of Area Zero by a time machine built by Professor Turo ten years ago. Unlike other Paradox Pokémon, however, only two specimen were brought: a quirky, friendly one and a belligerent, territorial one. Despite this, its true origin is unknown: according to AI Turo, Miraidon is a future Pokémon related to Cyclizar; however, a Turo brought to the Crystal Pool by Terapagos claims Miraidon to be a counterpart of Cyclizar from another timeline. It was known as the "Iron Serpent" at the time the Violet Book was written; its modern-day name, Miraidon, was coined by Professor Turo, possibly as a result of a bootstrap paradox.[1]

The rest of Miraidon's ecology and other details regarding it is unknown.

Miraidon is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Electro Drift. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Hadron Engine as an Ability.

Forms

Miraidon has five forms: Ultimate Mode, Low-Power Mode, Drive Mode, Aquatic Mode, and Glide Mode.

Ultimate Mode
Ultimate Mode Miraidon shooting electricity from its jet engines

In Ultimate Mode, Miraidon's body becomes charged with purplish-yellow energy. As a result, the gular sac on its throat becomes filled and inflates, with the grooves emiting a bluish-white glow; its antennae flare with electricity, now resembling lightning bolts; and its tail emits the energy in its middle section and at the tip. Miraidon's back legs have folded into its thighs, forming a pair of structures similar to jet engines, which allow it to hover and fly through the air. Its irises are light blue on the outside and yellow on the inside. On its cheeks, arms, handlebars, and thighs, there are areas filled with light purple energy. When it falls asleep, it turns itself off, causing the blue and yellow energy on its throat, tail and antennae to turn turn silver, similar to what happens in its Low-Power Mode.

In battle, Miraidon 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. It is said that one strike from its charged tail is able to knock out even the sturdiest foe.[2] The lightning it can shoot from its mouth, neck, or jet engines is said to powerful enough to turn the land to ash. According to Arven, this is Miraidon's true form.[3]

Low-Power Mode

In Low-Power Mode, Miraidon is quadrupedal. It lacks the purplish-yellow energy that seems to overflow from its Ultimate Mode; as such, the gular sac on its throat, its antennae, and its tail are less colorful, being in a monochromatic silver. Its irises are solely light blue. On its cheeks, antennae, handlebars, and thighs, there are areas filled with light purple energy.

Miraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling.

Other forms

Miraidon has the ability to change its form in order to facilitate travel.

In Drive Mode, Miraidon generates energy in its tail and throat and turns them into wheel-like rings, which allow it to accelerate and climb cliffs. In Aquatic Mode, Miraidon's wheel-like rings expand in size, allowing it to float in water; it can propel itself by rotating its rings or using its jet engines. In Glide Mode, Miraidon's antennae extend in order to spread an energy membrane, allowing it to glide or fly through the sky.[4][5] In all of these forms, Miraidon's tail remains tucked in and its back legs remain folded, revealing its jet engines.

Game data

NPC appearances

Main article: Miraidon (game)
  • Pokémon Violet: Miraidon is a major character in the game.
  • Pokémon Violet: Another Miraidon, also known as the Guardian of Paradise, is the secondary antagonist and a boss in the game. It was brought to the Pokémon world sometime after the first one through Professor Turo's "time machine" and is shown to be far more aggressive and belligerent than it, which eventually caused both to became rivals.
    • At some point in Area Zero, both Miraidon got into a territorial battle where the first one was defeated, but saved just in time by Professor Turo, who sacrificed his life to save it, after that, it was forced to escape Area Zero, traumatized by what happened there and leaving the second Miraidon as the strongest Pokémon in Area Zero and making it its territory.
    • In The Way Home, the second Miraidon appears to the player, Nemona, Penny, Arven and the first Miraidon, only to attempt to start another battle to kick Miraidon out of its territory once again, however, the Zero Lab's is opened and instead of attacking, it walks inside it, leaving the first Miraidon even more scared of it. The player and Miraidon go inside after defeating some Paradox Pokémon and inside, they meet AI Turo, who calls the second Miraidon back inside its Master Ball.
    • After the player defeats the controlled AI Turo to deactivate the time machine, the Paradise Protection Protocol is activated, locking all of the heroes' Poké Balls as a last resort to defend the time machine, sending out the Guardian of Paradise, who's defeated once and for all by the player's Miraidon after Terastallizing into a Dragon type.
    • Later on in the post-game, the player can find the now Trainer-less Miraidon out of the Zero Lab and catch it, supposedly due to its Master Ball being out of reach.

Miraidon debuted in PASV01 as Violet's ride. In PASV02, Violet revealed to Arven that he had encountered Miraidon as it crashed down on a beach near Cabo Poco and started following him after eating his sandwich. Professor Turo had then contacted him, informing him that Miraidon had previously been in his possession, and told Violet that its current depowered state could be remedied with the help of the Herba Mystica, inspiring Violet to find them in order to unlock Miraidon's full potential.

Trivia

  • Miraidon and Koraidon are the only Paradox Pokémon:
    • Whose names follow regular Pokémon naming conventions.
      • To not have different names between languages.
    • To each have their own unique Abilities.
  • Miraidon is the tallest Paradox Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex and the only known future Paradox Pokémon to be taller than both its present-day and ancient relatives.
    • It is also the only future Paradox Pokémon not to have the word "Iron" in its name. However, its previous name according to the Violet Book is "Iron Serpent".
  • Miraidon has the highest base Special Defense stat of all Electric-type Pokémon.
  • Of all Pokémon, Miraidon and Koraidon have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth 'low-power' forms, yet can only battle in their 'high-power' forms.
    • Curiously, the forms are fully usable in battle when hacked into the game, albeit with various glitches and oddities.[6]
      • In its unused Pokédex entry, the Ride forms of Miraidon are smaller than its Ultimate Mode, at 9'2" / 2.7m tall.
    • Rotom has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.
  • The modes of Miraidon in Japanese and Korean use borrowed words from English, showing modernity, while the builds of Koraidon in the same languages use Sino-Japanese and Sino-Korean words respectively, showing tradition and the past.
  • In Generation IX, prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Miraidon was able to learn Power Gem at level 49. After updating the game, it can only learn it via TM.
  • Despite being able to swim and fly with the player on its back, Miraidon can't learn Surf or Fly. It shares this trait with its counterpart Koraidon.

Origin

Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic serpentine dragon and various lizards, such as the anole or the genera Sitana and Sarada — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Its robotic look might also be a reference to how futuristic cultures are often depicted with the overuse of machines and robots, as opposed to Koraidon's traditional look. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various motorized vehicles (such as a sport bike and other super bikes designed with maneuverability in mind for city streets and highways), with its 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 jet engines or exhaust pipes. Miraidon's ability to rearrange itself when changing between forms may be inspired by transforming robots. Miraidon's color scheme, along with the name of the game it debuts in, possibly stemmed from violet being on the opposite side of the visible spectrum of light from red (a prominent color associated with Pokémon Scarlet and Koraidon) as well as violet occasionally being associated with space (which is often considered the "final frontier", tying to Miraidon's hypothetical future motifs).

Given its serpentine body and its Electric type, it may take inspiration from Sugaar in Basque mythology. Originally venerated as the god of storms and thunder in pre-Christian Basque beliefs, Sugaar takes the form of a serpent and embodies lightning.

Name origin

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

Miraidon's name may have been intentionally designed to sound phonetically like me ride on, referencing how the player rides around the Paldea region on it.

Its alternate name, Iron Serpent, is literally iron serpent.

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

Due to a bootstrap paradox involving a version of Professor Turo time traveling from the past, it is possible that the player in Pokémon Violet may be responsible for indirectly coining Miraidon's name.
