The reason to use water-arceus is the same reason given by
rhydreigon,
mewtwo and xerneas lacks to deal with the primal groundon and ho oh.Well, this set is basically a defogger (which can be good for the team) and it can beat p don and ho oh, which looks a threat to the team.It can easily toxic stall the P-don and then a few recover spams.For ho oh, It can just 2 OHKO with a powerful judgment.Its bulk also allows it to be a good m ray and jirachi switch-in
+1 252+ Atk Mega Rayquaza Dragon Ascent vs. 248 HP / 164 Def Arceus-Water: 307-363 (69.3 - 81.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
^^Even +1 Adamant rayquaza can pick the OHKO on this.
0 SpA Splash Plate Arceus-Water Judgment vs. 248 HP / 52 SpD Ho-Oh: 200-236 (48.1 - 56.8%) -- 88.3% chance to 2HKO
As for ho oh, doesn't look like a big problem for it.
Still I suggest not to take this get as a Ho oh switch-in, as-
208+ Atk Choice Band Ho-Oh Brave Bird vs. 248 HP / 164 Def Arceus-Water: 234-276 (52.8 - 62.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
It still can beat you up, picking up a 2OHKO
Further
196+ Atk Primal Groudon Precipice Blades vs. 248 HP / 164 Def Arceus-Water: 199-235 (44.9 - 53%) -- 29.7% chance to 2HKO
See?Even takes the deadly P blades from
Uncle Hothead P don.
And
brolatypus
Here, see....
+2 252 SpA Iron Plate Arceus-Steel Judgment vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Arceus-Water: 158-186 (35.6 - 41.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

These calculation shows that Steel ceus cant possibly break the water ceus
EVs spread
You can consider reducing a bit of speed and invest it in Hp/Def.
Thanks guys :)
