Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost acts as both a bulky physical wall and a dangerous setup sweeper. Spooky Plate + Judgment allows Arceus-Ghost to Imposter-proof itself and block Knock Off's item removal. Strength Sap allows Arceus-Ghost to reliably defeat Imposter users—since they cannot PP stall it—and physically offensive threats such as Zacian-C. Quiver Dance increases Arceus-Ghost's damage output, allows it to outspeed the entire tier, and when combined with Fur Coat makes it very difficult to offensively check. Knock Off removes valuable items, such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Assault Vest, from checks like Ting-Lu and Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy; alternatively, Focus Blast provides perfect coverage with Judgment, notably 2HKOing Ting-Lu and Arceus after a Quiver Dance boost. Arceus-Ghost struggles to break past walls such as RegenVest Ting-Lu and Ice Scales Arceus-Dark, so powerful teammates like Zacian-C and Palkia-O can help alleviate this issue. Arceus-Ghost is useful for Imposter-proofing some physical wallbreakers, such as Zacian-C and Groudon.

Normalize Arceus-Ghost is an effective setup sweeper that that requires specific counterplay to beat. Entrainment + Normalize makes foes unable to damage Arceus-Ghost. Quiver Dance boosts Arceus-Ghost's Speed, allowing it to nullify would-be faster threats like Zacian-C, and the Special Defense boosts ensure it can beat opposing Judgment users such as Miraidon. Strength Sap provides longevity, allowing Arceus-Ghost to switch in without the need for pivoting; alternatively, Taunt prevents defensive checks from PP stalling Arceus-Ghost and prevents Glare, while Knock Off can remove Ability Shield and opposing Plates. In exchange for power, a Timid nature can be used to outspeed neutral natured Arceus formes and use Entrainment first. Arceus-Ghost struggles to beat Good as Gold, Magic Bounce and Dark-type Pokemon, so strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Zacian-C and Choice Specs Miraidon are good partners. Even with Normalize, moves like Glare and Will-O-Wisp can still inflict status conditions on Arceus-Ghost, so clerics are appreciated.

Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost acts as both a bulky physical wall and a dangerous setup sweeper. Spooky Plate + Judgment allows Arceus-Ghost to Imposter-proof itself. Strength Sap is the preferred recovery option to reliably defeat Imposter, as Imposter cannot attempt to stall out moves using recovery. Quiver Dance increases Arceus-Ghost's offensive presence, allows Arceus-Ghost to outspeed threats like Zacian-C, and, when combined with Fur Coat and Arceus-Ghost's lack of common weaknesses, makes it a very tough threat to take down, allowing it to check dangerous physical threats like Zacian-C and Poison Heal Arceus Quiver Dance increases Arceus-Ghost's damage output, allows it to outspeed threats like Zacian-C and opposing Arceus, and when combined with Fur Coat makes it very difficult to offensively check. Knock Off provides useful utility, removinges key items such as Heavy-Duty Boots and Assault Vest from checks like Ting-Lu and Ice Scales Arceus-Fairy; alternatively, while Focus Blast provides perfect coverage with Judgment, notably 2HKOing Ting-Lu and Arceus after a Quiver Dance boost. A Bold nature allows Arceus-Ghost to have an easier time switching into powerful physical threats like Choice Band Zacian-C, while Modest provides more power.if there's no specific calcs that bold or modest have i would just drop this sentence Arceus-Ghost lacks initial firepower, so it enjoys having powerful wallbreakers like Zacian-C and Palkia-O, as teammates that these can break past bulky Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Arceus-Dark. In return, Arceus-Ghost can Imposter-proof some physical wallbreakers. like? bear in mind it doesn't really improof zac-c that well because of torque confusion

Normalize Arceus-Ghost is an effective set-up sweeper that can be disruptive to teams without specific countermeasures easily sweep teams lacking specific counterplay. Entrainment paired with Normalize makes the opposing Pokemon unable to touch damage Arceus-Ghost with most moves. Quiver Dance boosts Arceus-Ghost's offenses, and the special defense boosts can allow Arceus-Ghost to 1v1 opposing Judgment users like Miraidon Speed, allowing it to nullify would-be faster threats like Zacian-C, and the Special Defense boosts ensure it can beat opposing Judgment users such as Miraidon. A coverage move like Boomburst is generally unnecessary on this set, since the most common Normal-types use Poison Heal, and thus lose to Entrainment. not tremendous need to explain this Instead, Utility options are more appealing: Strength Sap provides longevity, allowing Arceus-Ghost to repeatedly switch-in to passive Pokemon and threats like Poison Heal Arceus; alternatively, Taunt prevents defensive checks from PP stalling Arceus-Ghost and denies Glare, whereas Knock Off can remove Ability Shields and opposing Plates. out through moves like Haze and recovery, while also shutting down Glare; Knock Off is useful for removing plates from opposing non-Arceus Pokemon such as Miraidon, while also removing useful items like Leftovers and Assault Vest. A Modest nature provides a much needed power boost, but a Timid nature can be opted to outspeed neutral natured Arceus formes to use Entrainment before Taunt first. Arceus-Ghost can struggle to deal with bulky Ghost-type resists like Ting-Lu that carry moves like Haze, as well as Magic Bounce and Good as Gold users, so strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Zacian-C and Choice Specs Miraidon are good partners. Even with Normalize, moves like Glare and Will-O-Wisp can still inflict status conditions on Arceus-Ghost, so a cleric can be helpful.

Normalize Arceus-Ghost is an effective set-up sweeper that can easily sweep teams lacking specific counterplay you don't mention what the specific counterplay is. Entrainment paired with Normalize makes the opposing Pokemon foes unable to damage Arceus-Ghost. Quiver Dance boosts Arceus-Ghost's Speed, allowing it to nullify would-be faster threats like Zacian-C, and the Special Defense boosts ensure it can beat opposing Judgment users special attackers such as Miraidon SDef boost helps universal against special attackers. Strength Sap provides longevity, allowing Arceus-Ghost to repeatedly switch-in to passive Pokemon and threats like Poison Heal Arceus; alternatively, Taunt prevents defensive checks from PP stalling Arceus-Ghost and prevents Glare, while Knock Off can remove Ability Shield and opposing plates. A Modest nature provides a much needed power boost, but a Timid nature can be opted to outspeed neutral natured Arceus formes to use Entrainment first. Arceus-Ghost can struggle to deal with bulky Ghost-type resists like Ting-Lu that carry moves like Haze I've never seen ting lu carry haze, is it common? probably take out the carry haze part, as well as Magic Bounce and Good as Gold users, so strong wallbreakers such as Choice Band Zacian-C and Choice Specs Miraidon are good partners. Even with Normalize, moves like Glare and Will-O-Wisp can still inflict status conditions on Arceus-Ghost, so a cleric can be helpful probably specify an example of what a cleric is so readers can know what it does exactly, such as a pokemon carrying heal bell.

I left specific in because later I mention it struggles against stuff like Haze resists and Bounce/GaG. Also left in Judgment because other special attackers just get Entrained. Ting-Lu Haze is necessary because otherwise you just setup to +6, and I think Haze Ting-Lu is fairly common even on non-prank to deny Miraidon setup if needed.
