Arceus-Bug -> Prose update

It is most unwise to underestimate the capabilities of the Insect Plated Arceus, for even when in the guise of a lowly Bug-type, ravaged by Stealth Rock, He cannot be squashed! Although disbelievers may ponder the choice of such a humble forme, Bug Arceus shows all as His STAB Bug-type attacks cause even Mewtwo, Darkrai, Tyranitar, Latias, and Latios to fall. But once His remarkable display ends, the inferiority of His forme is all but revealed. His offensive STAB is literally resisted by most of His Fire-, Fighting-, Flying-, Ghost-, Poison-, and Steel-type creations. He also has horrible weaknesses to Fire-, Flying-, and Rock-type attacks, only slightly redeemed by His resistances to Fighting-, Grass-, and Ground-type attacks. Yet do not be lulled into a sense of false security; it is undeniable that even as a humble insect, Arceus's prowess is unparalleled.

Arceus-Dragon -> Prose update

Donning His mystical Draco Plate, Arceus commands the battlefield with utter regality. Reigning above all else, the authority of His Swords Dance and Calm Mind set is simply supreme. No words can express the awe and wonder that His nearly unresisted Judgment or Outrage invokes, as they rain down upon the numerous Dragon-types that litter the Uber tier. Although the brute force of some of His draconian brethren surmounts even Him, fear not as superior Speed and overall bulk allows Him to set up with greater ease. For even His creation Lugia, unfaltering wall to the many Dragon-types, struggles to harm Him with its puny Ice Beams. Dragon Arceus's typing also gifts Him with excellent resistances to Electric-, Fire-, Grass-, and Water-type attacks. However, it is a double-edged sword in a battlefield filled with mighty Dragon- and Ice-type attacks. Kneel in honor of your deity else suffer His Judgment.

Arceus-Fighting -> Prose update

Defending the principles of honor, nobility, and integrity, Arceus in His Fist Plate is the eternal standard of justice. In a metagame so full of creations such as Darkrai, Ferrothorn, and Tyranitar, The Original One has at last come to judge them for their wrongs. Even the prevalent Dialga, ruler of time, halts at His approach; the coverage of His virtuous STAB Fighting-type attacks is terrible to endure. Any mono-attacker utilizing Bug-, Dark-, or Rock-type attacks will flee before Fighting Arceus's arrival, for they soon realize that defeat is all but inevitable. Yet even though His fighting spirit can win many battles, He can win the ultimate victory with the use of a support set. His attacks ring true against His alter ego Normal Arceus. Make no mistake, only His Flying-, Ghost-, Poison-, and Psychic-type creations have the forthrightness to face Him in battle. For Arceus Himself is judge; both vengeance and salvation will be delivered on that inescapable Day of Judgment.

Arceus-Grass -> Last sentence is iffy

Marvel at The Creator's endless masterpiece unfathomable to human mind, His a thousand arms sent forth like the branches of His Meadow Plate. As the unwavering protector for the creations that He Himself has shaped, Grass Arceus is perhaps the most supportive forme. He can provide boundless amounts of utility, for He is not only an excellent solution to the prevalent Groudon and Kyogre, but also to the fearsome might of Excadrill, Kabutops, Kingdra, Manaphy, Palkia, Rayquaza, and Zekrom. And with His marvelous resistances to Electric-, Grass-, Ground-, and Water-type attacks, He can act as a brilliant defensive pivot under rain. Regrettably, the many talents of The Creator are not reflected elsewhere. His STAB Grass-type attacks have dismal offensive coverage, which leaves Him a liability against many of the Spikers and phazers that thrive in the Uber tier. His weaknesses to Bug-, Fire-, Flying-, Ice-, and Poison-type attacks can also prove problematic. But despite these harsh conditions, The Creator has continued to flourish as does the life He created long ago.

Arceus-Ground -> Last sentence is iffy

In the heart of the Sinnoh region, at the peak of the highest mountain, lies a power which begins to stir with the presence of His Earth Plate. The ideals of the once strong Zekrom are left in shattered remains, for within Arceus is infused the power of countless defeated giants; with an immunity to Electric-type attacks, a resistance to Stealth Rock, and very good bulk, there is no finer counter than He. Although His creation Groudon has greater Defense and Drought, the imposing Ground Arceus holds the higher ground through His superior overall bulk, Speed, and Recover. Indeed, the lack of Drought might prove a blessing, as it allows Him to act as an impressive offensive pivot under rain. For the very earth yields before His immense strength; Arceus can break the ground asunder with His Swords Dance and Calm Mind set or stand as a sturdy wall through His support set. It is true, nonetheless, that His earthly state leaves Him vulnerable to the common Water-, Ice-, and Grass-type attacks. Yet these efforts are all in vain, for no elemental attack can stop His rise now.

Arceus-Ice-> Prose update

Returning from the desolate wastelands of afar, Arceus shows His frigid side, His heart as cold as the Icicle Plate He bears. In perhaps the most offensively inclined forme of them all, Ice Arceus takes no prisoners in the kill-or-be-killed world of Ubers. His STAB Ice-type attacks have excellent coverage; most Dragon-, Ground-, Flying-, and Grass-types will fall beneath His power. He benefits from not only hail but also rain and sun, a feat few formes of His can rival. Although Kyurem-W and Kyurem-B have dual STABs and drastically increased power, Ice Arceus has superior Speed, bulk, and the ability to utilize Calm Mind. However, in His frosty guise, Arceus cannot boast of a strong defensive typing as a weakness to Stealth Rock limits His potential. His cold decision has rid Him of any resistance save one of Ice, and grants Him horrible weaknesses to Fighting-, Fire-, Rock-, and Steel-type attacks. Even so, if one has the misfortune to face Ice Arceus in battle, unless your body is as solid as steel or your soul as searing as the sun, you might never again feel the warmth of a new day.

Arceus-Normal

Bold?

Arceus-Poison

To gaze before the virulent Arceus is to look within your inner evil, for within His repugnant Toxic Plate lies all our sins remembered. His entrance onto the battlefield is so abhorred that all Toxic Spikes are absorbed; this act alone makes Him a remarkable supporter. The heinous Toxic, commonly used by supposedly pure Pokemon like Blissey and Chansey, is futile against a boosting Poison Arceus, for all despicable acts are useless against the collector of sins Himself. Unfortunately, our wrongs are so repulsive that His STAB Poison-type attacks are simply atrocious. And although His unusual resistances to Bug-, Grass-, Fighting-, and Poison-type attacks provide considerable defensive utility, His weaknesses to Ground- and Psychic-type attacks do not. But all too easy is it to assume Arceus is the enemy, when in reality the enemy is within you.

Arceus-Rock -> Prose update

Legends tell of a Pokemon that can draw unimaginable power from the Stone Plate. A primordial Pokemon so pure in heart that even the magnificent Ho-Oh humbles itself before it. For this is none other than the tried-and-true Rock Arceus, who is capable of being both offensive and defensive alike. His strength is undisputed; STAB Rock-type attacks are incredibly solid against potent threats such as Kyurem-W, Reshiram, and Rayquaza. His Special Defense has outstanding potential; in the midst of sandstorm, even Choice Specs Draco Meteor from Kyurem-W is easily weathered. However, the most timeless of Pokemon can still show some age. Despite a Special Defense boost under sandstorm, His numerous weaknesses to Water-, Ground-, Grass-, Fighting-, and Steel-type attacks are easy to take advantage of. The frequent weather changes by Groudon and Kyogre can also be quite the nuisance. But let it be known that Arceus knows both the beginning and the end; He is what legends are made from.

Arceus-Steel

Clad in His Iron Plate, the shining Arceus enters the battlefield in what is perhaps His most resilient forme. Equipped with a total of eleven resistances, including Dragon, very good bulk, and a resistance to Stealth Rock, Steel Arceus is ready to take an extreme amount of punishment. For His polished exterior is so impervious that Poison-type attacks, Toxic, or the presence of Toxic Spikes are rendered completely ineffective. All together, the armored Arceus can run a sturdy Swords Dance or Calm Mind set, boosting up with ease against even Blissey and Chansey. Ironically, His STAB Steel-type attacks are resisted by many of His creations, reducing His offensive capabilities. His armor also fails to protect Him from the common Fighting-, Fire-, and Ground-type attacks. But Arceus's will is resolute, and few indeed will dare confront Him when He is at His full potential.
