TL;DW: Bring Miraidon to 6-star Clodsire raid, still win

Miraidon @ Metronome
Level: 100
Modest Nature
Ability: Hadron Engine
EVs: 252 SpA
- Parabolic Charge
- Electric Terrain - Use it to avoid falling asleep when Yawned
- Electro Drift
- Metal Sound - Helps you do enough damage for this raid

** Miraidon also use other useful moves like Light Screen, Reflect, and Taunt, but we didn't need them for this raid.

There are obviously better Pokémon to bring to this raid, but what if you just don't have anything else? Here, we showcase Miraidon's great survivability and utility.

Clodsire has low base attack (75) and couldn't overcome Miraidon's level advantage (Lv. 100 vs Lv. 90) and excellent stats (100 base HP and Def). Additionally, the NPC's Intimidate activates every time Staraptor is knocked out, and affects the raid boss even when the shield is up.

Full disclosure: I failed twice while figuring out what moves to use before succeeding twice in a row.
