The main Arceus-Bug set is the classic Calm Mind set with coverage, while its type, bug, isn’t the most appealing, notably being stopped by Giratina, Landorus-T, Arceus-Poison, and Magearna, together with its great resistances, letting it switch into the tiers ground and fighting types and some support from teammates, it can force progress and sometimes even clean-up against a weakened team. Arceus-Bug commonly uses Earth Power to hit its most common resist, Magearna and the common Arceus-Poison, Utilizing Terastalization to make it sting more while giving it the excellent traits of a Thunder Wave immunity and a resistance to Stealth Rock, though it can utilize Ice coverage to hit the Bug resistant Giratina and punish Ground types with an instant threat.
Arceus-Bug suffers from the issue of competing with Arceus-Grass in the Calm Mind Arceus with coverage that resists ground department, as unlike Arceus-Bug the Grass type lacks a weakness to Stealth Rock, as such, Arceus Bug is often paired with consistent removal from Terapagos or Giratina as to be able to actually switch into the things it resists, those mainly including Landorus-I, Landorus-T, Sneasler, Great Tusk and Arceus-Grass. Arceus-Bug is also commonly paired with the offensive Dark types, Urshifu, Chi-Yu and Chien-Pao, as they not only help break past one of its main problems, being Giratina, but they also much appreciate the same removal Arceus-Bug wants.
