How To Get Rid Of Duplicate Miraidon
Okay, so you've got a Miraidon problem. Not the kind where it’s zipping around crashing into Team Star hideouts, but the kind where you accidentally multiplied your robotic lizard friend. It's like when you order too much pizza and end up with three identical boxes – delicious, but ultimately, overwhelming. We've all been there, haven't we? Maybe not with legendary Pokemon, but with socks, spatulas, or that one streaming service you swear you canceled.
Don't panic! This isn’t a glitch in the Matrix. It’s probably just a slight oversight on your part (no judgment here!). Getting rid of the extra Miraidon is easier than untangling Christmas lights, I promise. Let's break it down, nice and easy.
The Obvious (and Necessary) First Step
Before we dive into anything fancy, let’s cover the basics. Is your extra Miraidon actually extra? Did you, perhaps in a fit of late-night, post-sandwich delirium, start a new game plus and forget you already had one? Double-check your party and boxes in the PC storage system. This might sound ridiculously obvious, but trust me, we all have brain-fart moments. It’s why they invented the snooze button.

Assuming you've confirmed you do have a spare super-charged motorbike lizard, let's move on.
The Trading Route: Send it to a Friend (or a Stranger!)
This is the digital equivalent of re-gifting that fruitcake your Aunt Mildred sends every year. Perfectly acceptable, and probably appreciated by someone! Trading is your most straightforward option. If you have a friend who missed out on catching Miraidon or just wants one with a particular nature (because, let's face it, min-maxing is a real thing), then link up with them and offer the trade. It’s Pokemon 101!
No friends? No problem! The internet is your friend now. There are countless online communities dedicated to Pokemon trading. Just be careful, and practice smart trading. Always confirm what you're getting in return before you commit to the trade. You don’t want to end up swapping your legendary motorbike for a level 3 Pidgey. It wouldn’t be a fair trade and could leave you feeling ripped off!
The "Goodbye, Friend" Method: Releasing the Miraidon
Okay, this one’s a little sadder, but sometimes necessary. It’s like saying goodbye to that comfy old sweater you’ve had since college – you love it, but it’s got holes the size of golf balls. If you truly have no need or desire for the extra Miraidon, you can release it back into the wild. This is done through the PC storage system.
Warning: Once you release a Pokemon, it’s gone forever. No take-backsies. So make absolutely sure you're okay with never seeing that Miraidon again. Maybe take a screenshot for posterity? Just a thought. It’s like deleting photos of your ex; it might be necessary, but a little bittersweet.
The "Gotta Catch 'Em All" Loophole
While you can only have one Miraidon in your active party and easily accessible boxes, this doesn’t preclude you from using the Pokemon Home application. Pokemon Home is a cloud-based storage system that allows you to store your Pokemon across multiple games. You can transfer your extra Miraidon here. That way you get to keep it for living dex purposes, or possibly even transfer it to another compatible game if you ever decide to play one!
Think of Pokemon Home like a massive, digital attic for your Pokemon collection. It's not exactly "getting rid" of the Miraidon, but it's definitely taking it out of your immediate inventory and preventing future confusion.
Final Thoughts (and a Little Pep Talk)
Having two Miraidon isn’t the end of the world. It's a testament to your dedication to the game! Just choose the method that works best for you and remember, there are plenty of other Pokemon in the Paldea region! Go catch 'em all… just maybe not two of each, unless you really want to.
