Fur Coat (Arceus-Ghost) @ Spooky Plate
Ability: Fur Coat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid / Modest Nature
- Judgment
- Strength Sap / Shore Up
- Nasty Plot / Take Heart
- Secret Sword / Knock Off / Sludge Wave / Thunder Cage
[SET COMMENTS]
Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost serves as both a sturdy physical wall and a potent setup wincon, having the unique ability to blank Knock Off and self-Imposter-proof with Spooky Plate + Judgment. Strength Sap is the preferred recovery option due to its higher healing against physical attackers like Mega Garchomp and ability to neutralize Attack boosts, but Shore Up can't be limited by Pokemon like Magic Guard Blissey. Take Heart and Nasty Plot bolster Arceus-Ghost's average Special Attack; Take Heart allows it to rid itself of sweep-ending poison from Mortal Spin, while Nasty Plot provides bigger boosts and means Shore Up sets can't be stalled by Imposter users. The last slot is dedicated to utility or coverage. Secret Sword nukes Blissey; Knock Off can ease Arceus-Ghost's sweep by removing Assault Vests, Yveltal's Heavy-Duty Boots, and the occasional Spooky Plate from Imposter users; Sludge Wave smashes Mega Audino and helps prevent Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy from PP stalling Arceus-Ghost; and Thunder Cage threatens Yveltal and Ho-Oh in addition to chipping special walls. Mega Garchomp appreciates Arceus-Ghost removing items from Yveltal and Mega Audino or, with certain coverage, straight up removing them; in return, Arceus-Ghost Imposter-proofs Mega Garchomp. Arceus-Ghost can struggle against Ash-Greninja, so a check to it like Fur Coat Mega Audino is a good partner. Arceus-Ghost generally Imposter-proofs itself, but in the event of your opponent having a rare Spooky Plate Imposter user, a teammate that can cover it like Magic Guard Blissey is recommended.
