The strategy I used for this solo run is using Miraidon.
Ideally you want to have at least HP, Defense and Special Attack bottle capped. (and EVs in Defense and Special Attack)
For mine, I had the above stats bottled and additionally I used a Modest mint to give it a Modest nature.
If your Miraidon is level 100 this shouldn’t prove to be a problem at all,
below is my setup for Miraidon specifically for this fight.
As you’ll see later we’ll only need 2 of these moves “Parabolic Charge” and “Reflect”,
however the Metronome is quite necessary as we’ll be spamming Parabolic Charge.
Metronome makes it so Parabolic Charge gets stronger every turn,
which will in turn increase our healing every turn as well (Parabolic Charge offers a leech heal)
So let’s get to the fight itself then:
I’ll be guiding you through every turn as below.
Use Reflect on turn one
Use Parbolic Charge on turn two
Use the Hang tough! cheer on turn three
Use Parbolic Charge on turn four all the way to the end.
This is where Metronome’s boost shines, repeating the same move every turn.
Don’t forget to Terastallize your Miraidon (I had enough energy at turn 6)
TIP:
If you still have trouble, just leave and reenter until you have an ally with the “Intimidate” ability (like I had in Arcanine).
This’ll give you some free advantage early on.
