[SET COMMENTS]
Calm Mind Arceus-Ground is a excellent wallbreaker and sweeper that leverages its great natural bulk and near-perfect coverage to become extremely hard to stop. Ice Beam is the preferred coverage to hit Giratina-O, Landorus-T, Wo-Chien, and the occasional Tera Grass or Tera Flying Pokemon, such as Zacian-C. Tera Fairy blocks Miraidon's Draco Meteor and gives Arceus-Ground a resistance to Koraidon's Low Kick, making it more difficult to revenge kill. Tera Water instead provides it with a resistance to Water-type attacks from the likes of Kyogre and Arceus-Water—allowing Arceus-Ground to turn the tables against them—and Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade. Tera Ground boosts Arceus-Ground's power greatly; with a layer of Spikes, it 2HKOes Ting-Lu at +1 and OHKOes opposing Arceus formes at +2. An alternative spread of 120 HP / 252 SpA / 136 Spe with a Timid nature outspeeds neutral-natured Arceus formes and always survives an attack from Choice Band Koraidon but no longer outspeeds Adamant Koraidon. Arceus-Ground best fits on hyper offense and bulky offense teams that appreciate its ability to check Miraidon while being a dangerous sweeper itself. Ting-Lu is the most effective check to Arceus-Ground, so Calyrex-S is a very potent teammate, as they both wear down Ting-Lu for the other to take advantage of. Zacian-C, Koraidon, and opposing Calyrex-S can all revenge kill Arceus-Ground, so checks to them like Landorus-T and Ting-Lu on bulky offense or teammates that can take advantage of them like Calyrex-S, Arceus-Fairy, and Extreme Killer Arceus on hyper offense are greatly appreciated.

Tera Ground boosts Arceus-Ground's power greatly; with a layer of Spikes, at +1 it 2HKOes Ting-Lu with Spikes at +1 and at +2 it OHKOes opposing Arceus formes at +2. (defensive Arceus formes need a layer of Spikes too) An alternative spread of 120 HP / 252 SpA / 136 Spe with a Timid nature outspeeds neutral-natured Arceus formes and always survives an attack from Choice Band Koraidon, (comma) but no longer outspeeds Adamant nature Koraidon.

Zacian-C, Koraidon, and opposing Calyrex-S can all revenge kill Arceus-Ground, (comma) so checks to them like Landorus-T or and Ting-Lu on bulky offense, (comma) or teammates that can take advantage of them like Calyrex-S, Arceus-Fairy, and Extreme Killer Arceus on hyper offense are greatly appreciated. (mention a suicide lead for HO if you want, I guess)

Yeah this is great; I don't really have anything to say about it. QC 1/2

Tera Water instead resists Water-type attacks from the likes of Kyogre and Arceus-Water, allowing Arceus-Ground to set up against them,

I'd specify that you can't safely do this vs non choiced kyogre in fear of thunder or just twave unless already boosted a fair bit, this could lead people to losing interactions they'd otherwise be safer switching out of. Hard to switch into ogre regardless but using a dragon as a pivot or at least just saying to chip it once before setting up could clear this up

rest is good QC 2/2
