Koraidon and Miraidon are reportedly set to make their Pokemon Go debut in the next season. The two legendaries that got introduced in Scarlet & Violet this year are expected to be the highlight of Pokemon Go Season 12, which is rumored to be titled ‘Adventures Abound’, and is going to focus on Paldean-region Pokemon.
Both Koraidon and Miraidon are of dual typing but with a similar Dragon-type trait. This means that they can counter each other with draconic moves. However, Miraidon is a better alternative to Koraidon because of its unique Dragon/Electric type, while Koraidon is a Dragon/Fighting type.
Koraidon’s fighting moves will provide better coverage over direct Dragon-type counters like Ice and Rock Pokemon. However, it will take 2X damage against Fairy types. Meanwhile, Miraidon’s electric moveset will counter Flying/Fairy types and deal better damage to water-type metas like Greninja and Kyogre.
