Support Arceus-Poison is a sturdy utility Pokemon, utilizing its solid typing to wall Pokemon like Zacian and Sneasler. Stealth Rock chips down foes and limits the amount of times threatening wallbreakers like Ogerpon-H, Chi-Yu, and Kyurem-W can switch in. However, Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp are solid alternatives, with the former crippling otherwise safe switch-ins like Palkia-O and Mewtwo and the latter crippling physical attackers like Tera Ground Zacian and Great Tusk, which could otherwise easily break through Arceus-Poison. Taunt is used to shut down walls like Giratina and Lugia while also preventing setup from Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Sneasler. Dragon Tail is not blocked by Taunt from Arceus-Dark and Arceus-Grass, but Roar is not blocked by Fairy-types like Zacian and Magearna and bypasses Substitutes from Cyclizar and Palkia-O. Tera Dark grants an immunity to Psychic-type moves from Mewtwo and Deoxys, allowing Arceus-Poison to check them. 176 Speed with a Timid nature lets Arceus-Poison outspeed Ogerpon-H. Arceus-Poison's ability to check Pokemon like Choice Scarf Kyurem-W and Zacian makes it an excellent partner to Pokemon like Palkia-O, Palafin, and Giratina, which struggle to beat such threats. Arceus-Poison struggles with Pokemon like Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Landorus, which can easily break through it, so Pokemon that can handle these foes, like Palafin, Kyurem-W, and Chi-Yu make good partners. Arceus-Poison also pairs well with Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Giratina, as they can remove entry hazards, which Arceus-Poison is vulnerable to. Pokemon like Ogerpon-H, Palkia-O, and Chi-Yu appreciate Arceus-Poison's ability to status their checks like Zacian, Arceus formes, and Solgaleo.
