The Cover God of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!
What was it called again? Right! Miraidon!
Was this one wild? Or was it a Ditto in disguise?
It didn't look quite like the one in the promotional video, either. Miraidon could fly in that video, and its hind legs were two thrusters. This one had claws for hind feet.
