[SET COMMENTS]
* Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy is an excellent bulky setup sweeper and wincon due to its excellent stats across the board, Fairy typing, and extensive coverage. Due to these qualities, it fits on a multitude of playstyles such as hyper offense, bulky offense, and balance.
* Will-O-Wisp allows Arceus-Fairy to easily set up on Arceus, physical Arceus-Ground, and Mega Salamence lacking Facade. Power Gem is an option to hit Ho-Oh for meaningful damage. Taunt can be used to prevent Giratina-O, Primal Groudon, and Ho-Oh from crippling Arceus-Fairy with status such as Toxic or Thunder Wave and phazing it with Roar or Whirlwind. In addition, Taunt blocks Glare from Zygarde. Earth Power allows Arceus-Fairy to hit Primal Groudon, Eternatus, and Steel-types like Zacian-C and Necrozma-DM.
* The given EV spread invests enough Speed for Arceus-Fairy to outspeed Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon. The rest is invested into Defense and HP, giving Arceus-Fairy a high chance to survive a +2 Precipice Blades from Double Dance Primal Groudon while also avoiding an OHKO from Deoxys-A’s Psycho Boost after Stealth Rock and a 2HKO from Marshadow’s Poltergeist. The alternative EV spread with a Timid nature allows Arceus-Fairy to outspeed Modest Palkia-O and avoid a 2HKO from Choice Band Marshadow’s Spectral Thief after Stealth Rock.
* Tera Dark provides Arceus-Fairy with a Psychic immunity, helping its team against powerful attacks such as Light That Burns the Sky from Ultra Necrozma, Psycho Boost from Deoxys-A, and Psystrike from Mega Mewtwo Y.
* Tera Poison provides Arceus-Fairy a valuable immunity to Toxic and Toxic Spikes, allowing it to serve as the team’s Toxic Spikes absorber and check to opposing Arceus-Fairy and Eternatus.
* Tera Ground ensures that Earth Power 2HKOes defensive Primal Groudon at +0 and gives it a chance to 2HKO defensive Necrozma-DM at +1.
* On hyper offense, Arceus-Fairy is an excellent late-game wincon against a weakened team when checks such as Ho-Oh and Eternatus have been removed. On bulky offense and balance, Arceus-Fairy serves as an excellent check to Marshadow, Yveltal, and unboosted Mega Salamence throughout the game. It should not be afraid to switch into attacks from the aforementioned Pokemon, as any damage can be healed off with Recover. Arceus-Fairy must be wary of Toxic from Yveltal, Ho-Oh, and Giratina-O, which can heavily undermine its ability to sweep.
* Arceus-Fairy’s sweeping ability is often hampered due to it being outsped by common threats such as Eternatus, Zacian-C, and Deoxys-A. For hyper offense, Sticky Web support from Shuckle flips these matchups and allows Arceus-Fairy to beat these checks. For bulky offense and balance, Thunder Wave support from Necrozma-DM eliminates this problem. Arceus-Fairy also appreciates duel screens support from Deoxys-S or Grimmsnarl, as this eases setup.
* Regardless of what is chosen in the fourth moveslot, Arceus-Fairy will always suffer from a lack of coverage, as having Power Gem means it struggles against Primal Groudon, and having Earth Power means it cannot break past Ho-Oh. Teammates that can cover these vulnerabilities such as Primal Kyogre and Ultra Necrozma are helpful. Gothitelle is also a good teammate, as it effectively traps and removes walls such as Tera Steel Giratina-O, Ferrothorn, and Ho-Oh.
