[SET COMMENTS]
Dragon Dance Arceus-Poison is a devastating setup sweeper, thanks to its great bulk and a Plate-boosted Gunk Shot that can deal devastating damage. Earthquake is used to hit the likes of opposing Arceus-Poison, Magearna, (AC) and Dialga. Flare Blitz can also hit the likes of Corviknight, Skarmory, and Air Balloon Gholdengo. Recover allows Arceus-Poison to keep itself healthy to potentially grab another Dragon Dance. Substitute shields Arceus-Poison from status, blocks Dragon Tail, and helps versus Sucker Punch users, such as Chien-Pao and Urshifu. Alternatively, Taunt can be used to also block status moves, including Roar from Dialga and Encore from Magearna. Tera Blast Flying is a niche but strong option to completely turn the tables against Great Tusk. Tera Ground and Tera Fire should be used with Earthquake and Flare Blitz, respectively. Tera Ground allows Arceus-Poison to become immune to Thunder Wave from Magearna and lets it beat Great Tusk, while Tera Fire allows it to become immune to Will-O-Wisp from Moltres and defensive Arceus, as well as OHKO Landorus with Flare Blitz after just one Dragon Dance boost. Tera Flying helps versus Ground-types, like Great Tusk and Iron Treads, and opens up the possibility of Tera Blast as a third attack.

Arceus-Poison best fits on teams that appreciate its ability to clean late-game and its defensive profile. Corviknight is a good partner, being able to use Defog to remove entry hazards as well as switch into Ground-type attacks. Ice-types, like Iron Bundle and Kyurem-W, appreciate Arceus-Poison's ability to switch into Fighting-types, like Zamazenta and Urshifu. In return, they both help to weaken the opposing team for Arceus-Poison to clean late-game. Other Dragon Dance users like Roaring Moon and Gouging Fire work well in tandem with Arceus-Poison to beat shared checks like Great Tusk and Pecharunt.

Dragon Dance Arceus-Poison is a devastating setup sweeper thanks to great bulk and a devastating Gunk Shot. Earthquake the main coverage move of choice, it is used to hit the likes of opposing Arceus-Poison, Magearna and Dialga. Flare Blitz can also be used, being able to hit the likes of Corviknight, Skarmory and Air Balloon Gholdengo. Recover is the standard move of last, which allows Arceus-Poison to keep itself healthy to potentially grab another Dragon Dance (would also mention its capacity to 1v1 most Great Tusks alongside Tera if running recover). Substitute can help shield Arceus-Poison from status, as well as blocking Dragon Tail and helping versus Sucker Punch Chien-Pao and Urshifu. Alternatively, Taunt can be used to also block status, as well as Roar from Dialga and Encore from Magearna. Tera Blast Flying is a niche but strong option to turn the tables against Great Tusk and Landorus-I. Tera Ground and Tera Fire should be used with Earthquake and Flare Blitz respectively. Tera Ground allows Arceus-Poison to become immune to Thunder Wave from Magearna, while Tera Fire allows it to become immune from Will-O-Wisp from Moltres and defensive Arceus, as well as reaching the feat of being able to OHKO Landorus-I at +1. Tera Flying helps versus Ground-types like Great Tusk and Iron Treads, and is commonly used alongside Tera Blast. Arceus-Poison best fits on teams that appreciate its ability to clean late-game and its defensive profile. Corviknight is a good partner, being able to Defog away hazards as well as switch into Ground-type attacks. Ice-types like Iron Bundle and Kyurem-White appreciate Arceus-Poison's ability to switch into Fighting-types like Zamazenta and Urshifu. In return, they both help to weaken the opposing team for Arceus-Poison to clean lategame.

Very good way to start us off! I have some things to say, though. Other than that, it's basically perfect. Well done!

(This space is probably unneeded.)
Dragon Dance Arceus-Poison is a devastating setup sweeper, thanks to its great bulk and a devastating Plate-boosted (Could be worth elaborating on why it is devastating, the average player might be scared to click an inaccurate move at a first glance.) Gunk Shot that can deal devastating damage. Earthquake, the main coverage move of choice, it is used to hit the likes of opposing Arceus-Poison, Magearna and Dialga. Flare Blitz can also be used, being able (It might be better to remove this for smoother flow.) to hit the likes of Corviknight, Skarmory, and Air Balloon Gholdengo. Recover is the standard fourth moveslot of last, which allows Arceus-Poison to keep itself healthy to potentially grab another Dragon Dance. Substitute can help shield Arceus-Poison from status, as well as blocking Dragon Tail, and helpsing versus Sucker Punch users, such as Chien-Pao and Urshifu. Alternatively, Taunt can be used to also block status, as well as including Roar from Dialga. Tera Blast Flying is a niche but strong option to turn the tables against Great Tusk (Worth elaborating as to why this is! It could be stated that becoming immune to Headlong Rush, Great Tusk's most common Ground STAB, while also having the ability to hit Great Tusk for substanstial damage is crucial.). Tera Ground and Tera Fire should be used with Earthquake and Flare Blitz, respectively. Tera Ground allows Arceus-Poison to become immune to Thunder Wave from Magearna, while Tera Fire allows it to become immune from Will-O-Wisp from Moltres and defensive Arceus, as well as reaching the feat of being able to OHKO Landorus-I at +1 with just one Dragon Dance boost. Tera Flying helps versus Ground-types, like Great Tusk and Iron Treads, and is commonly used alongside (Kind of misleading; Tera Blast Flying is not a common option with Tera Flying because of the merits of being able to simply Recover on Great Tusk with the pinch immunity, but Tera Blast is still absolutely an option!) can open up the possibility of Tera Blast as a third attack. Arceus-Poison best fits on teams that appreciate its ability to clean late-game and its defensive profile. Corviknight is a good partner, being able to Defog away hazards as well as switch into Ground-type attacks. Ice-types, like Iron Bundle and Kyurem-White, appreciate Arceus-Poison's ability to switch into Fighting-types, like Zamazenta and Urshifu.

edit:
i have highlighted some commas with orange. the reason is that i saw those were not part of the original writing by OceanicGamer , but were rather added later as a correction. those commas are not gramatically needed. if they were not used in the original writing by the original author following their own stylistic preference, we shouldn't really suggest adding them. oceanic gamer, you can mantain them if you want, but i would suggest not to, and reverting to the original haha
