Why should Rayquaza or Salamence be mentioned in the overview over the other Dragon-types unless they are specifically important?
Going on this note, why should Lugia’s Ice Beam be mentioned of all things? Isn’t mentioning Arceus-Dragon's superior bulk enough?
- Do you really need to know that a +1 SpA Arceus-Dragon hits harder than an unboosted Palkia or Diagla barring Choice Specs? It’s very obvious already. Remember that this is an overview.

Lugia is a common check to both Salamence or Rayquaza or pretty much most physical Dragon sweepers. Ice Beam OHKOes both of them after SR. Why Salamence or Rayquaza? They both tend to attack physically and can boost up pretty quickly. They use similar moves with SD Dragon Arceus as well. Zekrom cannot boost as efficiently and has STAB Bolt Strike to be different.
People need to know Arceus has Calm Mind. None of the other Dragons, Reshiram, Palkia or Dialga has it. Although it starts of weak, it can hit even harder than them at +1 because of Draco Plate and Judgment. Dialga only has Dragon Pulse for reliability and Spacial Rend can miss at the worst times.

Actually Giratina can easily survive a +2 Shadow Claw and burn Arceus-Ghost. One-on-one, SD Ghost Arceus will have a tough time taking out Giratina or Lugia. +0 Shadow Force can't come close to KOing them either, assuming the walls are at full health. Calm Mind Arceus-Ghost will do much better against these physical walls.
