SteelCeus's qualities are likely what landed it in C at all, compared to the (edit: happy now hyw ?) relatively worse Arceus formes that are Grass, Psychic, Fighting, etc. And even then, those are likely on the merits of the SD Z-set which can instantly beat down Xerneas and at least pose an immediate threat to the likes of MMence (both mons of which it can check), while CM SteelCeus fails at both of those while having a far worse offensive typing than other CM Arceus formes. As far as I can tell, SteelCeus gets its small niche from checking Xerneas + some other stuff (MMence and Ice-types in SteelCeus's case) while being a half-decent offensive threat with Toxic immunity, reminiscent to that of PoisonCeus checking Xerneas + Fightings while also being a half-decent offensive threat boasting Toxic immunity. Those two being on par seems reasonable, while insinuating SteelCeus is on the level of B Rank mons (including RockCeus, FairyCeus, and IceCeus, and a number of Steel-types, all of which compete with it for a teamslot) is kind of a stretch.I know other arceus forms could do similar sets but I don't think there's any other type that could fill all the roles that arceus steel does on my team. And I don't think his niche is that small either, I've been succesful on the ladder with mutliple different teams featuring him and I've never felt that he was not pulling his weight.
