Arceus-Fighting is a solid sweeper in Ubers UU due to the combination of Cosmic Power, Body Press, Stored Power, and Recover. These moves allow it to become unkillable while becoming more offensively potent. Cosmic Power boosts both Body Press and Stored Power. Body Press is STAB boosted by fist plate which also becomes more potent with the defence boosts acquired through Cosmic Power. Stored Power is useful coverage as it only fails to hurt dark types after boosting, However these Dark types like Mandibuzz, Arceus-Dark and Chi-Yu happen to be weak to Body Press. Furthermore, the steel types such as Magearna and Solgaleo who resist Stored Power take neutral damage from Body Press. This allows it to effectively handle fighting immune ghost type pokemon such as Giratina, Spectrier and Annihilape. Tera Fairy blocks Dragon Tail phasing by Giratina, while Tera Steel allows Arceus-Fighting to resist Psycho Boost from Deoxys, Moonblast from Unaware Clefable and provides immunity to Toxic. Arceus-Fighting has some notable flaws, it hates having status inflicted upon it as it can be neutralized by constant damage from Toxic Poison, or risks being Phazed out after being paralyzed making it harder for it to setup Cosmic Powers. It is also not immediately threatening and needs to boost before it can pose a threat. Taunt from Spectrier, Annihilape and opposing Arceus Formes can all put a stop to its setup leaving it very vulnurable. Phasers, such as Roar Giratina, or Terapagos etc. can remove the boosts forcing it to set up again. Furthermore, it is walled hard by Calm Mind Lugia. Arceus Fighting appreciates good support in the form of shed tail Cyclizar to help it get in safely and avoid getting status inflicted upon it. Rapid Spin removal from Terapagos, Regieleki, or Defog from Mandibuzz to clear hazards which can help reduce the chip damage it takes while switching in. Aurora Veil from Ninetails-Alola can also provide immense support allowing it better bulk to set up its Cosmic Power boosts. Poison types like Toxapex are also useful as it can help remove Toxic spikes from your side. It works well in tandem with shed tail offense as it can take advantage of Cyclizars Shed Tails to boost its defenses using Cosmic Power.
