Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy has a very well rounded set of credentials, sporting reliable bulk, a sound typing both offensively and defensively, good power after Calm Mind boosts, and a solid Speed tier, allowing it to function as a reliable bulky wincon. Calm Mind grants Arceus-Fairy extra power and shores up its special bulk, and Recover lets it stay healthy and get more boosts off. Judgment is a strong STAB move that can score 2HKOs on common special walls such as Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, and Mandibuzz, while Earth Power allows Arceus-Fairy to hit Steel-types such as Excadrill, Heatran, and Zacian-C. The Speed EVs allow Arceus-Fairy to outspeed Ogerpon-W and unboosted Iron Moth and eventually beat them. Tera Ground gives Earth Power a little more power to OHKO Zacian-C at +1 after Stealth Rock and allows it to 2HKO Eternatus and physically defensive Clodsire, with the additional benefit of allowing Arceus-Fairy to resist Poison-type moves from the likes of Sneasler, Iron Moth, and Eternatus that would otherwise KO it.
Arceus-Fairy has an amazing set of stats to donate, allowing it to build a very wide variety of teams around itself, but Calm Mind Arceus-Fairy works best on balance and bulky offense structures that can wear down the opposing team to prepare for Arceus-Fairy to finish them off. A multitude of Pokemon love to receive Arceus-Fairy's great HP stat, including but not limited to: Rotom-W, Pecharunt, and Landorus-T. Arceus-Fairy's high defensive stats also lend themselves to bulky pivots such as the aforementioned three Pokemon, which support Arceus-Fairy by getting it in safely. Hisuian Samurott and Meowscarada are great choices to receive Arceus-Fairy's Attack stat, as they provide Spikes, pivoting, and Knock Off support. Entry hazard setters such as the aforementioned Hisuian Samurott, Great Tusk, and Landorus-T help wear down specially defensive Pokemon so that Arceus-Fairy has a better shot at 2HKOing them later. Arceus-Fairy struggles to break bulky Pokemon such as Skarmory, Dondozo, and Ho-Oh, so it appreciates Pokemon that beat these walls, such as Ogerpon-W, Zapdos, and Iron Hands. Other special attackers like Hisuian Electrode and Hoopa-U can force in mutual checks such as Clodsire, Galarian Slowking, and specially defensive Excadrill and chip them so that Arceus-Fairy can overpower them with Calm Mind boosts further down the line, with Hisuian Electrode also being able to pivot with Volt Switch.
