Arceus is not limited to always sweeping and countering certain pokemon it can also become a Extremely good mix defender thats hard to take down. The idea is to come in on something arceus can wall easily which is pretty common such as something choiced that it resists use cosmic power on the switch which will really make arceus bulky after a couple boosts. Now rock seems like a weird defensive type but thats because if you use tyranitar with your team it will make arceus even bulkier so his special defense is taken care of lets look at his defense use will-o-wisp there goes a lot of the sweepers attack. However if one is not worried about physical sweepers toxic is better as it will take out the other pokemon faster. If this route is taken take a fire move over judgement or safeguard so steels cant neutralize the set.Safeguard and judgement are both good choices and too bad you cant use them both because the attacking move will prevent taunters to come in and destroy this set however then status pokemon can come in and slowly weaken the set unless you can get arceus paralyzed as speed is not important for this set. As for type if you really can't fit tyranitar on your team then dragon and steel are good choices for defensive types however if you pick steel do not use judgement as steel is not a good offensive type. When using this set watch out for extremy strong attackers like specs kyogre as it will take away the special defense boosting sandstorm and destroy you with water spout so that is why stealth rock and spikes are not only important to weaken kyogres water spout but also to finish opposing pokemon faster to give them less time to try and wallbreak. When you have +6 defense boosts it will be near impossible to break throught arceus defense with attacks which is why this set is so threatening. If you have toxic spikes support run your fire of choice and safeguard in the status spot which with +6 defenses will make this almost... impossible to take down keep in mind almost. If you ever face this set never let it get enough boosts kill it quickly. Also the best ''check'' to this set is specs kyogre because it takes its boost away and hits it hard. Calm mind kyogre is pretty good to but beware of buiding status damage.
