Okay, I know I might be a bit harsh here, but I really don't like the look of that Water Arceus set. I don't have much problem with Water Arceus on a sun team per se, but the more I look at it, the more I see a crappy Water Arceus trying to do what Grass Arceus would have done. Why are we not just using Grass Arceus if we want to use that set? Seriously, I really don't understand this set:
Arceus @ Splash Plate
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe
Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
- Recover
- Grass Knot
- Thunder Wave / Ice Beam / Judgment
- Roar
Now, tell me what's the difference between that and this:
Arceus @ Meadow Plate
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 252 Hp / 240 SpD / 16 Spe
Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
- Recover
- Grass Knot
- Thunder Wave / Ice Beam
- Roar
This thing has a stronger Grass Knot, a Ground immunity and a Thunder resistance. I know we hate using Grass Arceus on a sun team because it makes you complete Fire-bait, but the Water Arceus set we're using isn't doing any better. What does it do against Heatran with Judgement as the third option on the third move? Oh yeah, it's Water Arceus that loses against Heatran, how embarassing. It still has no chance against Ho-oh, or opposing Reshiram. I detest Grass Arceus as much as every other Ubers battler, but redressing what is clearly a Grass Arceus set as Water Arceus does absolutely nothing to help our cause.
Yes, I know Latias is available now due to BW2 and we'll make the changes needed, and I hope the removal of Water Arceus is one of them.

Also, if you want me to rate your team (OU/DW OU/Ubers), give me a VM. If I don't rate it, it's either 1) it's so shit it's too much trouble, 2) I'm busy, or 3) the team is fantastic and I have nothing I can suggest to you. You should be able to recognise which one.
