Hello everyone! I have been wanting to put together this little forum project for some time. Welcome to The Nine Days of Arceusmas!
The idea of this project is to make a compilation of teams, each featuring 1 of the 9 legal Arceus formes in Ubers UU.
Here is the full list:
- Arc Bug Rain by IcyScream
- RillaMoth balance by KineSquared
- Grasspon + Eleceus Webs by Go make a sandwitch
- Jumpscare by Bazingatron
- Lokix + ArcGrass by OceanicGamer
- The Dogs Can't Stop Setting Up by Celestiial
- Beaver Rot by Finchely
- Mono-Stored Power by JustCallMeFish
- (Open)
To participate, All you need to do is make a post including the team you are submitting, as well as a small explanation and at least 2 replays. You can build a brand-new team for this, or submit a team you have already built. I encourage you to get creative with the Arceus sets, but this is not a requirement.
The first submission to get 5 likes per Arceus forme will get added into the compilation!
If you have any other questions, let me know but otherwise I look forward to see what everyone else submits! This event will run for nine days, and end on Sunday, December 29th (or when all slots have been filled).

. Back to the set, I went with a DDance set just because I wanted to. Unlike Grasseus, Bugceus has a more consistent physical STAB in X-Scissor, and with Flare Blitz has a surprisingly large coverage spread. Recover is for sustain, 248 Speed EVs ensures it outspeeds 
, and Tera Fire is a good way to ensure it doesn't get burnt. One flaw of Bugceus is that it can't use boots, which means that it's quite vulnerable to entry hazards, particularly Stealth Rock. As a result, I opted for Terapagos. I went with the set of an offensive spinner, but I spec'd the EVs to outspeed M2 after a spin, and the rest of the EVs were roughly split between HP and SpAtk because the way I initially EV'd was unoptimized, and the builder gave a better spread which let me leverage 16 more EVs. Next is Magearna, who is standard, because I wanted spikes, and Alomomola, whose EVs were optimized for general bulk. Healing Wish is also a second wind for either Magearna or another teammate who needs healing. M2's set is a little weird, but I wanted to maximize its longevity while maintaining reliable killing power. Tera Fairy aids in this regard. Last, but not least, is Zacian, who I gave Iron Head and Tera Fire to a) have some burnproofing and b) be as reliable as possible in winning 1v1s against other Zacians.

and 
while also getting outsped by stuff like the dogs+
and scarfers like 
, the only other websetter on the VR, I could see the case for going lefties instead. I also went with PhysDef!Magearna, but changed out Encore for Thunder Wave for extra speed control. I then went with Grasspon for a second ground resist, and has grown to be one of my favorite mons to use in the tier, probably because of a very useful Embody Aspect letting it do some speed control. It was EV'd to outspeed Modest!Eleki, 8 SpDef EVs were to tank 1 sludge wave from Scarf!Lando-I, max attack because it's a sweeper, and the rest were into HP for general bulk. SD is for boosting, Ivy Cudgel is STAB, Knock Off removes items, notably Boots, which aids in slowing down the opponent, and Stomping Tantrum 2HKOs PhysDef Magearna. I then wanted to add hazard control, which is where Terapagos comes in, who has the same spread as it does in my last post here. Same for Zacian.
