[SET COMMENTS]
Simple Arceus-Ghost is a potent setup sweeper thanks to its good bulk, offensive profile, and natural advantage against Imposter users thanks to Spooky Plate + Judgment. No Retreat provides a great deal of stat boosts and notably makes Arceus-Ghost an effective mixed attacker, allowing it to bypass Ice Scales users much more readily than other sweepers like Take Heart Arceus formes and Ultra Necrozma. Triple Arrows OHKOes Blissey and occasionally allows Arceus-Ghost to get past checks like non-Fur Coat Yveltal and RegenVest users via flinches. Alternatively, a Poison-type move can shred Fairy-type checks like Mega Audino and Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy, with Gunk Shot being able to OHKO both after slight chip damage and Noxious Torque not missing; both can also poison would-be answers like Yveltal. Jungle Healing both provides recovery and prevents Mortal Spin's poison from stifling a sweep. While Arceus-Ghost is strong, special walls and Yveltal can almost completely nullify it with Topsy-Turvy if they don't lose to its physical move, so supporting allies like Mold Breaker Eternatus and Strength Sap blockers like Magic Guard Blissey are useful. Fur Coat Mega Audino is a particularly noteworthy problem, as multiple setup attempts are necessary to run it out of Recover PP, so Mega Lucario can help by taking advantage of its Steel weakness. Arceus-Ghost can Imposter-proof itself thanks to Spooky Plate + Judgment, but Knock Off support is recommended, as Eviolite Imposter users can use No Retreat and attempt to PP stall Judgment in a pinch; an ally like Yveltal is also useful as an emergency precaution against Spooky Plate Imposter users.
