Hi! One thing to address is that the weakness to Fire (Pdon weakness) and Fighting will always be problematic. Furthermore, it also has relatively too much weakness as a WG without much stat spread to back it up. It’s stat however, does make it usable as a slow pivot Ability Shield WG, but it’s sad how terrible its bulk is, which means it doesn’t do much against Neutralising Gas users even if they don’t have any other Flying/Fire/Fighting/Ice coverage which is unlikely. Arboliva can’t do anything against any NGas users under Magic Room or when your item gets Cgased unlike the likes of WG MAudino and Wetceus which can absorb hits and PSong back. Immunity to Spore is nice tho. For dealing with Spore, GrassCeus is better for that role.
Usually a Good as Gold or Magic Bounce mon like Slaking covers Spore and Last Respects while having the bulk.
Hope this helps!

), and with careful positioning, nothing can deny a full on Darkceus sweep with the help of GAG and STAG, not to mention WG Kartana is a S tier Offensive WG (really rare in a meta like this) which can sweep games saw if opponent doesn’t run a WG that resists Sunsteel and packs Perish Song.
