[SET COMMENTS]
Fur Coat Arceus-Poison's great bulk and typing make it an effective check to Koraidon and Enamorus. Its natural immunity to poison notably inflicted by Mortal Spin and Toxic, which are common countermeasures to setup Arceus formes, also makes it a dangerous Calm Mind sweeper. Icicle Plate Judgment hits numerous threats super effectively, including Koraidon, Groudon, Eternatus, Rayquaza, and Ting-Lu while also hitting both Dialga-O and Corviknight neutrally, preventing them from comfortably blocking Mortal Spin and Toxic. Mortal Spin removes entry hazards and bypasses Magic Bounce, while Toxic bypasses Covert Cloak and exerts more pressure on defensive checks like Ice Scales Arceus formes. Tera Steel retains Arceus-Poison's poison immunity while granting a resistance to Flying-type attacks from Rayquaza. Arceus-Poison is susceptible to Imposter users, as Imposter copies Arceus-Poison's immunity to poison, so a threatening Imposter-proof like Flare Boost Flutter Mane is recommended. Groudon is a physical attacker that Arceus-Poison cannot handle, so it appreciates a teammate like Corviknight or a Jungle Healing Pokemon such as Dondozo. Offensive wallbreakers like Koraidon and Enamorus can be Imposter-proofed by Arceus-Poison and offer high immediate power to compensate for Arceus-Poison's low initial power.
