Physically Defensive (Archaludon) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator

Impish Nature
- Dragon Tail
- Heavy Slam / Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Stealth Rock

[SET COMMENTS]
With Regenerator, a solid defensive typing, and high physical bulk, Archaludon acts as a good physical wall that can wear down the opposing team. Dragon Tail phazes setup sweepers like Iron Hands, Dragonite, and all Ogerpon formes, and Heavy Slam hits Fairy-types such as Scream Tail and Florges. Alternatively, Iron Defense benefits Body Press's damage output and renders Archaludon's matchup against physical setup sweepers better. As Archaludon forces switches with Dragon Tail, Stealth Rock further increases the chip damage it deals to the opposing team. Rocky Helmet lets Archaludon wear down pivots such as Barraskewda, Cinderace, and Roaring Moon. Archaludon covers a variety of physical attackers such as all Ogerpon formes, Roaring Moon, and Barraskewda, but it is overwhelmed by offensive wallbreakers like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Galarian Zapdos, so allies such as Fluffy Corviknight and Skarmory are much appreciated. Archaludon also appreciates Pokemon like Hisuian Electrode and the Ogerpon formes beating Swampert, which it can't make much progress against. Archaludon has poor Special Defense, which makes it vulnerable to special wallbreakers such as Heatran, Iron Moth, and Gengar, so it appreciates specially defensive allies like Blissey and Empoleon.

Regenerator (Archaludon) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed or Impish Nature this is mainly a note to qc team, this should be impish if arch isn't using flash cannon so it can get just a bit more speed, don't make this change unless qc says so
- Dragon Tail
- Thunder Wave / Flash Cannon
- Body Press
- Stealth Rock

With Regenerator, its solid defensive typing, and high physical bulk, Archaludon acts as a good physical wall that can wear down the opposing team. Dragon Tail phazes out setup sweepers like Iron Hands it can't OHKO like Roaring Moon, Dragonite, and all Ogerpon formes, Moon is typically choice item so its not a great example, Iron Hands however almost always uses Swords Dance so its a better example Thunder Wave lets Archaludon cripple checks it lures on the switch such as Iron Moth, Gholdengo, Galarian Zapdos, and Gengar, Flash Cannon alternatively hits foes with low special bulk, and foes weak to it such as Great Tusk, Scream Tail, and Garganacl, which Archaludon can't do much back at otherwise, Body Press allows to OHKO Chien-Pao, and Kingambit, while also acting as a general attack option when phazing out the opponent isn't desired, and as Archaludon forces switches with Dragon Tail, Stealth Rock further increases the chip damage it deals on the opposing team. Rocky Helmet lets Archaludon wear down pivots such as Barraskewda, Cinderace, and Roaring Moon., and Empoleon. Empoleon is able to Roost back the HP later, the previous three examples cannot and I think you don't require any more examples than that Archaludon benefits teams that want the role compression of a dedicated physically defensive Steel-type that can set Stealth Rock and phaze foes without being vulnerable to Taunt, or to Fire- and Water-type moves without requiring an ability for that, relegating it to balance, and more defensive team structures. this sentence feels like a waste, your stating info that we already know, instead replace this with wallbreakers that Arch is able effectively deal with Archaludon is overwhelmed by offensive wallbreakers like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Heatran, in addition to walls like Swampert, so allies such as Corviknight and Manaphy are much appreciated, as well as Pokemon like Hisuian Electrode and the Ogerpon formes to beat Swampert. As Archaludon can be overwhelmed by Ground- and Fighting-types like Great Tusk, Galarian Zapdos, Zamazenta, and Swampert, and special wallbreakers like Iron Moth, Gengar, and Heatran, it appreciates allies such as Barraskewda, Corviknight, Gholdengo, Ogerpon-W, and Blissey. you listed A LOT of mons, you only need a couple, I feel as though these are the best mentions

Rocky Helmet lets Archaludon wear down pivots such as Barraskewda, Cinderace, and Roaring Moon. Archaludon covers a variety of physical attackers such as all Ogerpon formes, Roaring Moon, Chien-Pao Taking 40+% from Icicle Crash isn't checking it, and Barraskewda, but is overwhelmed by offensive wallbreakers like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Heatran Odd mention, considering you were talking about physical wallbreakers that it couldn't check , in addition to walls like Swampert Archaludon isn't getting "overwhelmed" by Swampert, at most it's annoying, so allies such as Corviknight and Manaphy are much appreciated, as well as Pokemon like Hisuian Electrode and the Ogerpon formes to beat Swampert.
Would like to see a mention of special walls that help with special attackers that Archaludon struggles against

im lazy so please rename the set to Physically Defensive

Rocky Helmet lets Archaludon wear down pivots such as Barraskewda, Cinderace, and Roaring Moon. Archaludon covers a variety of physical attackers such as all Ogerpon formes, Roaring Moon, and Barraskewda, but is overwhelmed by offensive wallbreakers like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Galarian Zapdos, so allies such as Fluffy Corviknight and physically defensive Manaphy big no no since mana needs regen and archa is taking that slot up Skarmory are much appreciated, as well as Pokemon like Hisuian Electrode and the Ogerpon formes to beat Swampert, as it can't make much progress against it. Archaludon has poor special defense, which makes it vulnerable versus special wallbreakers such as Heatran, Iron Moth, and Gengar, so it appreciates specially defensive allies like Blissey, and Empoleon.
