Ice Arceus (Analysis)

Ice Beam can replace Judgment. While this change does reduce the damage output by around 3% unboosted and 5% after 1 Calm Mind
This is wrong, it's always 5% less regardless of the boosts.
 
I was asked to GP Check this paragraph so here it is. It hardly needed any changes but heres the stamp anyway. Contact a forum moderator after you make the changes to get this posted.
GP CHECK 3/2

[Optional Changes]
<p>Ice Beam can replace Judgment. While this change does reduce the damage output, it does give Arceus a 10% chance to freeze the opponent's Pokemon in any weather but sun. When the weather is sunny it is impossible for a Pokemon to be frozen. Even though the damage change seems minimal, Judgment is still recommended over Ice Beam because it has a higher probability chance of obtaining some important OHKOs and 2HKOs. Judgment gives Arceus a ~30% higher chance to OHKO Latias and Giratina after 1 Calm Mind and factoring Stealth Rock damage, as well as guaranteeing a OHKO on Latios after 1 Calm Mind without Stealth Rock damage. Judgment also allows Arceus to 2HKO Wobbufett ~98.9% of the time after Stealth Rock, as well as giving Arceus a ~25% chance to 2HKO without Stealth Rock, something Ice Beam cannot do. While the 10% chance to freeze is very tempting, Judgment is still recommended as the primary choice.</p>
 
Brief sweep of the new paragraph, made it flow better as well as catching three or four errors that calentaros missed. This can be considered part of my previous GP check.

When the weather is sunny it is impossible for a Pokemon to be frozen. [the previous sentence implied this, so it's unnecessary] Even though the damage change seems minimal, Judgment is still recommended over Ice Beam because it has a higher chance of obtaining some important OHKOs and 2HKOs. For example, Judgment gives Arceus a ~30% higher chance to OHKO Latias and Giratina after 1 Calm Mind (factoring Stealth Rock damage), as well as guaranteeing an OHKO on Latios after 1 Calm Mind without Stealth Rock damage. Judgment also allows Arceus to 2HKO Wobbuffet [misspelling] ~98.9% of the time after Stealth Rock, while also as well as giving Arceus a ~25% chance to 2HKO without Stealth Rock, something Ice Beam cannot do. While the 10% chance to freeze is very tempting, Judgment is still recommended as Arceus's the primary choice.</p>
