I would suggest running Arceus-ghost over normal Arceus because then you are immune to the ubiquitous ExtremeSpeed on other Normal Arceus. Additionally, there isn't really a good reason to ever run Return over Extremespeed on an Arceus. The extra-oomph isn't worth the lack of +2 priority that also gets STAB.

Try this set as support/Wall
Arceus phenomenal speed can + WoW can replace the need for all of that pure defense investment.

Arceus
move 1: Judgment
move 2: Flamethrower
move 3: Recover
move 4: Will-O-Wisp
item: Spooky Plate
nature: Timid
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe

This thing walls physical attackers like zekrom and groudon too. 444/372/277 defenses are really good. This is from an analysis by the way.

Hey, I have a question. What are some good partners for ghost arceus?
Your set will get destroyed by either Giratina (normal forme almost ALWAYS carries Toxic and it isn't unheard of on Origin forme either) and is out-sped by both Mewtwo's and Darkrai's and destroyed by both Aura Sphere and Focus Blast, respectively.

As to your question.
A good partner for ghost Arceus that is often overlooked is Terrakion. The Choice Scarf variant can OHKO all of Ghost Arceus' checks like Mewtwo, Blissey/Chansey, Darkrai, Reshiram etc.
