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

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it appears to be a futuristic relative of Cyclizar. Miraidon has five different forms when it travels the Paldea region or adapts to a situation.

  • 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 full strength.

Miraidon is the game mascot appearing on the box art of Pokémon Violet. It is a Paradox Pokémon, also known as the "Iron Serpent".

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 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.[1]

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 Cyclizar. It is powerful enough to use its lightning to turn the land into ash.

Miraidon is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Electro Drift.

Trivia

  • Miraidon and 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 regular counterpart, rather than smaller.

Origin

Miraidon's appearance may be based on a robotic Chinese dragon and various lizards, such as the anole or the genera Sitana and Sarada — the latter two are collectively known as fan-throated lizards. Some elements of its design may be based on parts of various motorized vehicles, 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.

Name origin

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).
