[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.
