For tournament / high level play, yea, arceus fighting is used much more, but for the ladder you don't need to go out of your way to account for threats you'll rarely face . But on the other hand I can agree with shrang and poppy, when a pokemon straight-up crushes 5/6 of your team without blinking an eye, you can't just say "well i can just play around that by doing this and that etc and out-predict my opponent." Either way, it still should be recognized as massive threat that shouldn't be easily dismissed.

If you an easier way to deal with arceus fighting, then either ho-oh or the lugia set shrang posted works fine over gliscor, ditto for mewtwo although you'll lose some defensive synergy in exchange for offense by going that route. Also, I consider Gliscor to be very overrated in ubers atm anyway, but am not going to go there xD.

This. Also donkey there are a few other ways to stop specs kyogre ya know
