Miraidon, the Guardian of Paradise boss strategy

To kick things off, Miraidon, the Guardian of Paradise, will use its Hadron Engine ability to lay Electric Terrain and increase the Sp. Atk of both Pokemon. It may sound scary, but it's fine. Ignore that part.

Focus on pelting the Pokemon with Power Gem. Each shot should shave off around 10% of Miraidon's HP. So does that mean you just need to get ten shots off, chugging Max Potions and Full Restores between its big hits? Not exactly.

The fight isn't as straightforward as it might seem. Miraidon can use shields, Taunt, and use various other moves to survive longer while dishing out some real paint. Just know that the outcome is largely pre-determined. Just hold out with chip damage and restoratives long enough that your friends urge you to Terastallize Miraidon to secure the win.

To finish the fight, use your Tera Orb as prompted. At that point, using Tera Blast should end things for the opponent, putting you on the final path to the credits scene.

In conclusion, even though Miraidon Guardian of Paradise is one of the most powerful enemies in the new Pokemon game, you can easily beat Miraidon, the Guardian of Paradise by just sticking with the battle.
