Acrtovish is a niche option for hail teams in RU it also works well with other wall-breakers that rely on hail such as Arctozolt, however, Arctovish lacks use outside of hail teams. Fishious Rend is Arctovish's spam-able STAB move it enables Arctovish to break through Hyper Offensive teams easily. Freeze Dry is used on Acrtovish to pressure bulky Water-types such as Gastrodon and Seismitoad. Hail is used to replenish the weather so that if Arctovish faces opposing weather teams such as sun, rain, or sand it won't need to worry since it can set up Hail by its self, although if Acrtovish has enough team support from Snow Warning users such as Vanilluxe and Abomasnow then Substitute is an option over Hail to ignore effects from Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and Thunder Wave. Protect is also an option on Arctovish because Protect stops First Impression from the likes of Golispod and Durant. Life orb increases Arctovish's wall-breaking power, but it leaves Arctovish weak to Stealth Rocks and lessens its longevity. Heavy-Duty Boots is an alternative to negate Sealth Rocks damage, however, it will lack wall-breaking capabilities.

Snow Warning users such as Vanilluxe and Abomasnow are beneficial teammates because hail increases Arctovish's speed thanks to its ability, Slush Rush which allows Arctovish to break through teams a lot easier without having to worry about its mediocre speed. However, Arctovish will be unable to outspeed Choice Scarfed users such as Mienshao and Zarude even in hail, so switch-ins like Noivern or Nasty Plot Togekiss are always helpful. Choice Scarf Zarude and Arctozolt are crucial partners since they can check Arctovish's weaknesses such as Grass-and Electric-types. Steel-types like Cobalion or Registeel are a nuisance to deal with while running Arctovish, so Fire-types such as Chandelure or Darmanitan are necessary. Due to Arctovish being quite weak to Stealth Rocks, so Rapid Spin support from the likes of Starmie is helpful.

(is it worth to mention auroraveil or screen support? Bc screen support is mainly meant for set up sweepers like belly drum lin, smash tea pot, belly drum slurpuf, etc etc.)

Hi, reassigning because there's a ton of stuff here that doesn't really show your understanding of the Pokemon you're writing about. I started checking this before realizing this doesn't meet our standards of quality and would require major help from the QC team to do so. I'll leave what I had here for feedback, red means the stuff that made me go ???

Acrtovish is a niche option for hail teams in RU (No? Arctovish is pretty much necessary on dedicated hail teams.) it also works well with other wall-breakers wallbreakers that rely on hail such as Arctozolt (Arctozolt is the only other Pokemon that relies on hail, your wording implies there are many others), however, Arctovish lacks use outside of full hail teams. Fishious Rend is Arctovish's spam-able STAB move it enables Arctovish to break through Hyper Offensive teams easily (Mention Fishious Rend being dummy strong in the opening sentence, don't need to explain what it does). Freeze Dry is used on Acrtovish to pressure bulky Water-types such as OHKOs Gastrodon and Seismitoad. Hail is used to replenish the weather so that if Arctovish faces opposing weather teams such as sun, rain, or sand it won't need to worry since it can set up Hail by its self, although if Acrtovish has enough team support from Snow Warning users such as Vanilluxe and Abomasnow then Substitute is an option over Hail to ignore effects from Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and Thunder Wave.

basically the mons in red dont really fit on full hail. one or two would have been fine but this doesnt demonstrate knowledge on the archetype. the lack of emphasis on hazard control / setters is also weird.
