[SET COMMENTS]
Ice Scales Arceus-Ground is a good special wall that can reliably tank hits from most special attackers in the tier. Strength Sap can slow down most physical Pokemon. Tidy Up provides unblockable entry hazard removal and boosts Arceus-Ground's offensive capabilities, allowing it to clean late-game provided roadblocks like Ho-Oh and Celesteela have been removed. Toxic bypasses Covert Cloak, extering pressure on defensive Pokemon like opposing Arceus formes. Mega Mewtwo X pairs excellently with Arceus-Ground, as Arceus-Ground can deal with Mega Diancie, while, in return, Mega Mewtwo X can help Arceus-Ground deal with Water-types such as Mega Swampert and Mega Slowbro by using Chloroblast. Arceus-Ground pairs well with RegenVest Yveltal and Ice Scales Dialga-O, as these provide a good option against Chloroblast users and Palkia-O, respectively. Arceus-Ground can struggle against the likes of Kyurem-B because of the latter's Glacial lance, so it pairs well with bulky Water-types like Fur Coat Dondozo and Mega Slowbro which, can help manage the aforementioned Pokemon and bring Arceus-Ground in on their checks with Flip Turn, forcing them out. Arceus-Ground can be Imposter-proofed by the likes of Celesteela and Magic Guard Ho-Oh.
