Set Description:
- Electric Judgment Offers excellent coverage (only resisted by Ground, Dragon, Electric and Grass)
- Ice Beam hits 3/4 of these resisted types as well including Groudon, Garchomp, Ground Arceus and Zekrom.
- Electric only has one weakness, Ground
- Does not fear Ho-Oh like many other Arceus's do
- Thunder does a considerable amount more, but unreliable since only efficient in the Rain (70% accuracy otherwise and 50% in Sun)
- Substitute is generally inferior to recover but can block status.
- Scarfed Garchomp outpaces Arceus and KOs with Earthquake but can't switch into an Ice Beam and needs to be wary of it
- Blissey walls the set unless Substitute is used
- Groudon brings in sunlight which neuters Thunders effectiveness but can be handled with Ice Beam
- Quagsire can Toxic / Encore Stall but is hit with Ice Beam
