Moves:
Calm Mind
Substitute
Judgement
Surf
This set uses the not as popular as the SD Espeed set, the CM sub set. In the rain surf gets STAB without it having to be a water type. I go with Judgement over thunder on this reason: even though it is a tad weaker, it will never miss as well. As in if something comes in that changes the weather, like Groudon, TTar, even Abomasnow, it will still conenct. I know that having an electric type arceus challenge a groudon is stupid and pointless, but this is after groudon has fainted. Ive versed a team that had a poke with sunny day to mess with my rain team even after groudon had fainted. Yes i know that i lose the chance of paralysis which can alter the flow of battle, but its the 30% chance im willing to take. It has helped me out against rayquaza's airlock. Granted i got a lucky crit that helped, but i was able take it out with out worrying of the accuracy lost. This has been pretty wordy, but hopefully i have gotten my point across. The sub/CM electric type arceus in rain can be lethal.

Just want to point out that you should use thunderbolt>Judgement, only 5 base power weaker but with a 10% chance to paralyze, it is generally the superior option.
