Arceus-Ground boasts amazing defensive capabilities, effectively checking wallbreakers such as Great Tusk and Raging Bolt, while also maintaining a formidable offensive presence. Ice Beam offers a valuable coverage option that deals significant damage to opposing Arceus-Ground, Great Tusk, and Dragonite. Alternatively, Power Gem can be employed to counter foes like Ho-Oh, which would otherwise force Arceus-Ground to switch out. Gravity may also be used to enable Arceus-Ground to neutralize common Latiasite users, such as Magearna, Garganacl, and Pecharunt, as well as Flying-types like Ho-Oh and Corviknight, rendering them vulnerable to Judgment. Calm Mind amplifies Arceus-Ground's potential as a setup sweeper, whereas Will-O-Wisp enhances its defensive utility by crippling physical attackers. It can also be employed as a Stealth Rock user, as most Sablenite foes such as Magearna, Garganacl, and Pecharunt find it really difficult to switch into. The Speed EVs allow Arceus-Ground to outspeed Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk. Arceus-Ground's versatility as both an offensive and defensive Pokemon makes it an excellent addition to all team archetypes. Pairing it with other defensive partners like Magearna, Corviknight, and Pecharunt creates a robust defensive core, allowing them to check each other's weaknesses, such as the former two being able to check Ice-types like Weavile and Baxcalibur, while Arceus-Ground switches into Fire-type foes. Arceus-Ground struggles to counter Water-type Pokemon such as Arceus-Water and Urshifu-R, making Pokemon like Raging Bolt, Eternatus, and Regieleki valuable partners, with the latter also providing entry hazard removal support.

team wants the spdef moved to def since the calc i named is slightly off (its dia rbolt draco ko over 2 turns), this means it can now handle luc ceru perfectly and the speed should also mention modest luc rbolt.

for clarification,
EVs: 240 HP / 140 Def / 28 SpD / 100 Spe
The specific EVs allows it to outspeed Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk, as well as makes sure that it always survives Modest Lucarionite Raging Bolt's Draco Meteor.
to
EVs: 232 HP / 176 Def / 100 Spe
The Speed EVs allow Arceus-Ground to outspeed Hearthflame Mask Great Tusk and Lucarionite Raging Bolt while maximizing its Nature stat boost.

otherwise looks good!
