Ice Scales Arceus-Grass is a reliable switch-in to many of the most threatening special attackers, such as Miraidon, Pixilate Flutter Mane, and Palkia-O. Nuzzle hinders setup sweepers, such as Palkia-O and Arceus-Ghost, with paralysis and dissuades threats such as Zacian-C and Imposter users from switching in freely. Knock Off removes items such as Covert Cloak, Leftovers, and Choice items from various Pokemon. Ceaseless Edge forces chip damage on foes, letting offensive teammates wallbreak more easily. Alternatively, Whirlwind phazes setup sweepers that Arceus-Grass cannot deter, such as Groudon. Leftovers provides longevity, whereas Ability Shield counters Normalize Flutter Mane and Arceus-Ghost. Arceus-Grass appreciates offensive teammates such as Palkia-O, Miraidon, and Zacian-C that can take advantage of Spikes and Knock Off wearing down their defensive checks; notably, Arceus-Grass can also Imposter-proof the former two. Physical walls such as Fur Coat Moltres and Groudon can take on physical attackers that threaten Arceus-Grass, like Zacian-C. Arceus-Grass usually doesn't need to Terastallize, but Tera Steel offers a resistance to Dragon Energy from Miraidon and Palkia-O and Boomburst from Pixilate Flutter Mane. Arceus-Grass can Imposter-proof itself with Nuzzle and Knock Off.

move 2: Knock Off
move 3: Ceaseless Edge / Whirlwind might be worth including this so stuff that doesn't care about knock can't just firm nuzzle and boost
move 4: Recover
item: Leftovers / Ability Shield i think if you mention it as an option it needs to be slashed, even if only secondary
ability: Ice Scales

evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe

Ice Scales Arceus-Grass is a reliable switch-in to many of the tier's most threatening special attackers, including Miraidon, Pixilate Flutter Mane, and Palkia-O. Nuzzle hinders setup sweepers, such as Palkia-O and Arceus-Ghost, with paralysis and dissuades physical attackers threats such as Zacian-C and Imposter users from switching in freely. Knock Off removes important items such as Covert Cloak, Leftovers, and Heavy-Duty Boots Choice Items from various Pokemon. knocking boots is good but knocking miraidon's specs is huge and basically voids any chance of losing to it, no need to mention all 4 Ceaseless Edge allows Arceus-Grass to support its team by laying down Spikes forces chip damage on foes, letting offensive teammates wallbreak more easily. Arceus-Grass usually prefers its natural typing to take Miraidon's Rising Voltage and Palkia-O's Water Spout, but it can use Tera Steel to better handle Dragon Energy from these Pokemon and Fairy-type attacks from Flutter Mane. (moved to end) Leftovers provides longevity, however Ability Shield is an option to counteracts Normalize Flutter Mane and Arceus-Ghost, but Arceus-Grass needs Leftovers to consistently take hits from Palkia-O and Miraidon. Arceus-Grass appreciates offensive teammates, such as Palkia-O and, Miraidon, and Zacian-C, (added commas) that can take advantage of Spikes and Knock Off wearing down their defensive checks; notably, Arceus-Grass can also Imposter-proof them former two. Zacian-C is an excellent partner that takes pressure off of Arceus-Grass with its immunity to Dragon Energy and benefits greatly from paralysis support. don't think zacian needs a whole sentence, the dragon immune is nice but usually not a complete selling point and it cares more about spikes and knock than nuzzle Physical walls such as Fur Coat Moltres and Groudon can take on physical attackers that threaten Arceus-Grass, such as like Zacian-C. Prankster users, such as Dondozo and Giratina, are equally important to keep setup sweepers such as Koraidon and opposing Groudon in check. Arceus-Grass usually doesn't need to Terastallize, however Tera Steel offers a resistance to Dragon and Fairy. Aecrus-Grass can Imposter-proof itself thanks to Nuzzle and Knock Off.

Whirlwind point since its slashed not main slash Leftovers provides longevity, however Ability Shield counteracts Normalize Flutter Mane and Arceus-Ghost. Arceus-Grass appreciates offensive teammates such as Palkia-O, Miraidon, and Zacian-C that can take advantage of Spikes and Knock Off wearing down their defensive checks; notably, Arceus-Grass can also Imposter-proof the former two. Physical walls such as Fur Coat Moltres and Groudon can take on physical attackers that threaten Arceus-Grass, like Zacian-C. Arceus-Grass usually doesn't need to Terastallize, however Tera Steel offers a resistance to Dragon and Fairy dex info, briefly mention how this is useful. Arceus-Grass can Imposter-proof itself thanks to Nuzzle and Knock Off This is true to an extent because it annoys Imposter but, imposter can still stay in and trade paras and heal etc. Granted the most relevant improofs here are PH which might be gone soon, include if you want.
