AG Defensive Arceus-Fairy [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

[SET]
Defensive (Arceus-Fairy) @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 Spe
Tera Type: Poison / Water
Bold Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Judgment
- Recover
- Taunt / Calm Mind

[SET COMMENTS]
Arceus-Fairy's typing allows it to reliably check Koraidon and Giratina-O, and its fantastic bulk and access to Will-O-Wisp let it also check several other physical attackers, including Arceus and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground. Additionally, Arceus-Fairy threatens common defensive staples such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Dark, and Landorus-T with Judgment. Defensive Arceus-Fairy is particularly difficult to switch into, as Will-O-Wisp can cripple Zacian-C, which would otherwise be able to switch in safely on Arceus-Fairy. Taunt prevents entry hazards from being set and stops Clodsire, Eternatus, and Toxapex from using Toxic; it also prevents recovery, giving Arceus-Fairy the upper hand against other Arceus formes and stopping its checks such as Clodsire and Eternatus from taking advantage of forcing it out. Alternatively, Calm Mind, which can be used against the many Pokemon Arceus-Fairy forces out, turns it into a dangerous setup sweeper and troubles special wallbreakers that could otherwise muscle through it, such as Kyogre, Miraidon, and Calyrex-S. 16 Speed EVs allow for Arceus-Fairy to outrun neutral-natured base 90 Speed Pokemon, such as Kyogre and Giratina-O. Tera Poison complements Calm Mind well, as it allows Arceus-Fairy to set up on Poison-types such as Toxapex, Clodsire, and Eternatus that otherwise check it. Tera Poison also maintains a useful resistance to Koraidon's Fighting-type moves and lets Arceus-Fairy remove Toxic Spikes, but the weaknesses it gives are often exploited by Calyrex-S and Arceus-Ground. Tera Water offers crucial resistances to Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and Koraidon's Flare Blitz, as well as a resistance to Kyogre's STAB moves, but it creates weaknesses to Miraidon's Electric-type attacks and Kyogre's Thunder. Arceus-Fairy is an outstanding choice on balance and bulky offense teams, which benefit from its defensive utility and remarkable offensive capabilities. Calyrex-S highly appreciates support from Arceus-Fairy, as Arceus-Fairy beats several of its checks in Ting-Lu, Arceus, Wo-Chien, and Arceus-Dark, as well as beating Pokemon that can revenge kill it in Giratina-O and Choice Scarf Koraidon. In turn, Calyrex-S can break through Arceus-Fairy's Poison-type defensive checks. Powerful Ground-type Pokemon, such as Arceus-Ground and Groudon, make great teammates for Calm Mind variants of Arceus-Fairy, since they threaten many of Arceus-Fairy's biggest obstacles in Eternatus, Clodsire, and Toxapex. Landorus-T, defensive variants of Arceus-Ground, Skeledirge, and Groudon can switch in to one of Arceus-Fairy's biggest offensive threats in Zacian-C. Ting-Lu is a valuable defensive teammate for Arceus-Fairy, as it can check powerful special wallbreakers such as Miraidon, Calyrex-S, and Eternatus. Kyogre is an exceptional teammate for Calm Mind variants of Arceus-Fairy, as it helps to wear down the pair's mutual defensive checks in Eternatus, Clodsire, and Toxapex. Kyogre can also switch in easily on Skeledirge, which Arceus-Fairy would otherwise struggle against.

Arceus-Fairy sets itself apart as a defensive threat, as its Fairy typing allows it to act as a reliable check to Koraidon and Giratina-O. Because of Arceus-Fairy's fantastic bulk and access to Will-O-Wisp, it can also check several other physical attackers, including Arceus, Rayquaza, and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground. Arceus-Fairy's typing allows it to reliably check Koraidon and Giratina-O, and its fantastic bulk and access to Will-O-Wisp let it also check several other physical attackers, including Arceus and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground. Additionally, Arceus-Fairy threatens common defensive staples such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Dark, and Landorus-T with Judgement Judgment. Taunt enables Arceus-Fairy to further improve its matchup against defensively-oriented Pokemon, preventing hazards that would later weaken it, as well as blocking Toxic from Clodsire, Eternatus, and Toxapex. Taunt also prevents recovery, giving Arceus-Fairy the upper hand against other Arceus forms while also stopping checks such as Clodsire or Eternatus from taking advantage of forcing Arceus-Fairy out to use Recover. Taunt prevents entry hazards from being set and Clodsire, Eternatus, and Toxapex from using Toxic; it also prevents recovery, giving Arceus-Fairy the upper hand against other Arceus formes and stopping its checks such as Clodsire and Eternatus from taking advantage of forcing it out. Calm Mind can quickly turn Arceus-Fairy into a dangerous setup sweeper, taking advantage of Fairy having very few viable resistances to break holes in teams or possibly win the game outright. The Special Defense boost that Calm Mind provides troubles special breakers such as Kyogre, Miraidon, and Calyrex-S that could otherwise muscle through Arceus-Fairy. Arceus-Fairy finds opportunities to boost on the many Pokemon it forces out, such as Arceus, Giratina-O, Ting-Lu, and Landorus-T.

Tera Poison complements Calm Mind well, as it allows Arceus-Fairy to set up on Poison-types such as Toxapex, Clodsire, and Eternatus which that otherwise check it. Poison also maintains a useful resistance to Koraidon's Fighting-type moves, and can remove Toxic Spikes.

Tera Poison also maintains a useful resistance to Koraidon's Fighting-type moves and lets Arceus-Fairy remove Toxic Spikes, but the weaknesses it gives are often exploited by Calyrex-S and Arceus-Ground. Tera Water is a useful defensive Tera Type option, offering crucial resistances to Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and Koraidon's Flare Blitz. It also offers a niche resistance to Kyogre's Water-type STAB moves. It is worth taking in to account that Tera Water creates weaknesses to Miraidon's Electric-type attacks and Kyogre's Thunder.

Finally, Tera Fire also resists both Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and Koraidon's Flare Blitz, while simultaneously improving the matchup against opposing Arceus-Fairy. Becoming a Fire-type causes Arceus-Fairy to become weak to Ground-types, such as Arceus-Ground and Landorus-T, as well as Kyogre's Water-type moves. (QC decided that Tera Fire isn't particularly worth mentioning) Arceus-Fairy is an outstanding choice on Balance balance and bulky offense (it's fine on bulky offense too) teams, which benefit from its defensive utility and its remarkable offensive capabilities. Calyrex-S highly appreciates support from Arceus-Fairy, as it Arceus-Fairy beats several of Calyrex-S's its checks in Ting-Lu, Arceus, Wo-Chien, and Arceus-Dark, as well as beating Calyrex-S's revenge killers Pokemon that can revenge kill it in Giratina-O and Choice Scarf Koraidon. Powerful Ground-type Pokemon, such as Arceus-Ground, Groudon, (comma) and Landorus-T, (comma) make great teammates for Arceus-Fairy, since they threaten many of Arceus-Fairy's biggest threats obstacles in Eternatus, Clodsire, Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Zacian-C. (I would personally split this into Pokemon that can switch into Zacian-C for Arceus-Fairy/help check Koraidon and Pokemon that threaten the Calm Mind variant's checks. I'd maybe also mention that Ting-Lu can check Pokemon like Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Eternatus for Arceus-Fairy)

Because of Arceus-Fairy's fantastic bulk and access to Will-O-Wisp, it can also check several other physical attackers, including Arceus, Rayquaza, and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground.(maybe also mention how wisp punishes, or rather, uncentivises zac from switching in on fairyceus) Additionally, Arceus-Fairy threatens common defensive staples such as Ting-Lu, Arceus-Dark, and Landorus-T with Judgement.

Calm Mind can quickly turn Arceus-Fairy into a dangerous setup sweeper, taking advantage of Fairy having very few viable resistances to break holes in teams or possibly win the game outright.(this is too verbose, i would tone it down a little) The Special Defense boost that Calm Mind provides troubles special breakers such as Kyogre, Miraidon, and Calyrex-S that could otherwise muscle through Arceus-Fairy. Arceus-Fairy finds opportunities to boost on the many Pokemon it forces out, such as Arceus, Giratina-O, Ting-Lu, and Landorus-T.

Powerful Ground-type Pokemon, such as Arceus-Ground, Groudon and Landorus-T make great teammates for Arceus-Fairy, since they threaten many of Arceus-Fairy's biggest threats in Eternatus, Clodsire, Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Zacian-C.

Alternatively, Calm Mind, which can be used against the many Pokemon Arceus-Fairy forces out, turns it into a dangerous setup sweeper and troubles special wallbreakers that could otherwise muscle through it, such as Kyogre, Miraidon, and Calyrex-S. there's no mention of speed EVs in this, which is usually recommended when it isn't just 252/252/4, and mentions normally go about here if you want to include one.
