Posting a backlog/archive of sorts. Lots of cards with varying degrees of doneness. Yeah idk this one was just a pure clusterfuck I made in like a day at work. It's usable I guess. I hope.

Miraidon itself can take up many different forms. Most typically it uses two. Ultimate mode is for when it is fighting, excited, pumped, or exerting itself. Low-Power mode is for when it isn't fighting or exerting itself or if it's weakened and is physically unable to generate the power required to enter it. Typically when relaxed he will almost always be in Low-Power mode. 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 silver.

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 like electricity). When it falls asleep, it turns itself off, causing the blue and yellow energy on its throat, tail, and antennae to turn silver, similar to what happens in its Low-Power Mode. In general it kind of resembles a metallic serpent-like creature that uses four legs to move it might also be compared to other lizards like geckos in that sense.

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 or interact with 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 pixelated 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. It is even powerful enough to use its lightning to turn the land into ash. Its lightning can be shot from its mouth, neck, or jet engines. Miraidon can also fly up in the air, and race forward at ultra-fast speeds, piercing its target with futuristic electricity.

Miraidon's true origin is unknown. Multiple Miraidon were brought to the depths of Area Zero by a time machine built by a Professor ten years ago. However, unlike other Pokémon, he was capable of only bringing two of them: a quirky, friendly one and a modest, territorial one. That same professor coined Miraidon's name, but it was formerly known as the "Iron Serpent" in the Violet Book due to its metallic and serpent-like body. According to a different professor, Miraidon's Ultimate Mode is its true form.

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.

This Miraidon is the one that lost the dispute, the kinder more quirky one, as the other Miraidon is currently still in that other area defending it.

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

Aside from Ultimate Mode, Miraidon has four other forms it can transform into depending on the situation.

Low-Power Mode: Miraidon walks on all fours, with the jet engine-like legs unfolding. The antennae become light silver along with the throat. The eyes turn light blue. The other glowing parts of its body become violet. Miraidon assumes this form either when weakened or not battling.

Miraidon can change its form to facilitate travel. Drive Mode Miraidon can generate the energy in its tail and throat and turn them into big wheel-like rings, which allow it to accelerate. Drive Mode Miraidon is capable of driving up cliffs. In this mode it does not use the engines for flying and instead use them to propel their wheel like appendages forward at hyper speeds on the ground. Funnily enough it resembles a living motorcycle in this mode, even having a little backrest which forms a seat on its back and handles to hold onto. But it still somehow flows well enough and looks sleek and in style for the Pokémon without just looking like a glorified vehicle. Aquatic Mode Miraidon is similar in appearance to Drive Mode and propels itself using both its rings and the jet engines on its legs. It's mainly used for travel by water as one would assume. Glide Mode Miraidon moves its antennae to expand an energy membrane, allowing it to glide through the sky using massive wings. Glide Mode Miraidon can switch between gliding or unlimited flight.

Miraidon has a meek and gentle personality. Though initially wary, it can form bonds with people and even accompany them in rare cases where it really likes the person.

It is shown to have a voracious appetite. Miraidon has developed a taste for Herba Mystica sandwiches which are its favorite food. Its appetite is so strong that it would eat things that aren't food just to get someone to feed it out of pity and annoyance. If you continually feed it, it might grow very attached to you and accompany you, especially if it has lost its strength. It is an extremely fast Pokémon perfect for races, a befitting trait, earning it the title the "Prince of Speed".

Despite Miraidon being seemingly a robotic entity it seems to possess some modicum of traits that shouldn't be possible given its classification as just a machine. For instance, it can taste and it has real lifelike emotions that are typically only possible by biological creatures. It also seems to get energy from eating and has a robotic tongue that might allow it to taste as well. When it eats it seems to truly derive some form of pleasure from it. Proof of its capabilities can be gleaned just from the way it acts. It seems to favor some foods and tastes more than others developing preferences just as any other creature would. Some food it will refuse to eat seemingly just out of dislike for the taste. It is unknown why this is. It is normally impossible for an entirely mechanical creature to taste or get energy from food. It is vague whether or not the emotions it exhibits are real or simulated, but if they are simulated they are extremely impressive.

Many speculate Miraidon to be more than what it seems at first glance. Most who end up meeting or knowing it truly believe Miraidon to have a soul, and real brain underneath all the metal which allows it to act just like any other being would. However this is all speculation as the entity is quite mysterious and very little is known about the perplexities and finer details of it, even people who have the rare chance to get close and bond with one. Another oddity is that it doesn't seem to need to charge using electricity. It is somehow able to get energy from sleeping and eating just like biological creatures would. Additionally, just like biologicals, it can get tired and drowsy, it is unknown whether this affects its ability to perform.

Normally it wouldn't be able to speak. But quite recently it has developed its voice or at least the synthesizer that produces it to form words and speak. As expected it has a robotic synthetic voice but it still sounds lifelike and oddly soulful for just a robot. There are inflections in its tone and other intricacies that are very impressive and realistic. It can still produce the animalistic sounds it was used to before but now it seems to prefer speaking with words the vast majority of the time. It has a distinctly masculine and deep voice, but it is unknown whether that was intentionally chosen by it or just how it sounds naturally. It is odd but Miraidon seems to open its mouth as if to simulate talking and even moves its robotic tongue to form the words just like humans would even though if it was just using a synthesizer it could just have its mouth closed and unmoving and still be able to speak just fine. Whether moving tongue and mouth is required for it to speak is unknown but it doesn't take away from its charm that's for certain.

Miraidon doesn't even really know itself. It has multiple features that it didn't even know about until it needed them. When needed they would automatically activate. One must really wonder what else it can do that is similar to biological creatures that even it doesn't know about. Maybe exposing it to different situations can cause even it to find new things about itself. They might even be evolutions or updates, or they were there dormant the entire time.
