Yes I know, obviously this violates species clause. I just thought it would be neat to make a team of different type Arceus that could function well in the uber metagame, and of course there's people that never check to see if species clause is off on shoddy when they're challenged by someone=P Please tell me what you think of it!
when rating this team do not suggest a pokemon that isn't a form of arceus, that ruins the theme.

lead and physical sweeper. I EVed this to outrun other Ghost physical Arceus by 1 point .
I'm using this over normal arceus because giratina can't wall this and it can block rapid spin and random explosions from Forretress and Metagross.

Punish those those CM lugias, latias, kyogre, etc (no pun intended). CB extremespeed is very strong for other stuff like mewtwo and rayquaza.

The darkrai and tyranitar counter we all know and love. Stealth Rock will put a damper on Ho-Oh.

Yeah counters Palkia and Groudon. Not that bad of a counter to Kyogre either as long as I avoid switching in on ice beam.

special sweeper and giratina/lugia counter. standard. I'm not entirely sure about this slot though, it seems a bit redundant when compared to the last set even though they serve different purposes. the only different move is a different typed judgment.

Mostly here for the Lati twins and to serve as a counter to a few other things. Sleep talk allows it to absorb Dark Void so Fighting Arceus can switch in safely. Will-O-Wisp to burn physical arceus.
Threat List
Mewtwo: CB Arceus can revenge kill it assuming it's below 75% health. This thing is really hard to counter...I suppose if it lacks Aura Sphere then Steel and Dark Arceus can counter it. either way Arceus is a really bulky pokemon so if a certain Arceus can't get hit supereffective it'll wear Mewtwo down with repeated assaults.
Mew: Honestly nothing counters this thanks to it's ridiculous movepool. Repeated attacks will wear it down though, Arceus is a very bulky pokemon to take it's attacks.
Wobbuffet: Well it's impossible to counter since you can't switch into a "counter" however Dark Arceus easily beats it one on one being immune to mirror coat.
Lugia: Dark Arceus
Ho-Oh: Ho-Oh is a bitch, especially Sacred Fire and it's 50% burn rate. Fortunately everything on my team is faster so it can get worn down over time. Stealth Rock will chop off half it's health every time it switches in which helps a lot.
Arceus: Extremekiller variants are handled by Steel Arceus who can switch in on a predicted swords dance then burn it making it useless. Yeah, earthquake will hurt still, but seriously I don't think it's possible for other arceus to 100% counter this beast. Dark special versions are handled well by fighting arceus. Ghost special versions by dark arceus...yeah. Physical ghost arceus is handled by steel arceus who burns it, although there's a 50% chance it will lose if brick break gets on the high end of the damage spectrum, still, it will not be able to scratch my other arceus who can dispose of it later.
Rayquaza: Steel Arceus is nice for soaking up outrages then wearing it down with dragon claw. CB Arceus will knock it out with extremespeed assuming stealth rock is up. Grass Arceus can survive an Adamant max attack Outrage boosted by both Dragon Dance and Life Orb then severely damage it with stone edge (It might KO if stealth rock is up, I'll have to check)
Latios and Latias: Steel Arceus is a great counter for these pokemon. Ghost Arceus can outspeedit and hit it with shadow claw, or possibly set up with swords dance if I predict a switch.
Kyogre: Kyogre is always hard to counter. Grass Arceus is a pretty good counter as long as I avoid switching into ice beam, it can then kill with Judgment. Then of course there's CB Arceus who severely damages with ExtremeSpeed or Punishment if it's a CM version.
Groudon: Grass Arceus
Deoxys-A: Steel Arceus if it lacks superpower (even then it can survive 2 of them). Otherwise, I'm pretty sure CB Arceus can survive all it's attacks barring specs Psycho Boost (which is rare) then KO with ExtremeSpeed.
Deoxys-D: Dark Arceus is good for this.
Palkia: Grass Arceus. CB Arceus can revenge kill.
Dialga: I'll admit he gives my team trouble. But Steel Arceus can wall it pretty good if I predict a Draco Meteor. Once it's special attack is halved it will be walled and burned. Once again, CB Arceus can revenge kill, this time with Earthquake.
Giratina: Dark Arceus set up fodder.
Darkrai: Steel Arceus absorbs sleep and can wall it if it's only attack is Dark Pulse. But I can't take my chances with a mxied set so I can switch to Fighting Arceus instead.
Metagross: Steel Arceus takes it well and can burn it. Must avoid switching in on earthquake though. once again, CB Arceus=revenge kill (I love that thing seriously)
Jirachi: Steel Arceus can burn it, CB Arceus can earthquake it.
Bronzong: If it lacks calm mind then it's dark arceus set up fodder. But hardly anyone uses this thing so it's not something to worry about, it doesn't really pose any threat.
Forretress: Steel Arceus can leech at it's health with Will-O-Wisp.
Heatran: Fighting Arceus lands a good Judgment on it. CB Arceus nails it with earthquake. It's special defense isn't good so a couple of Judgments from Fighting Arceus should finish it.
Heracross: Ghost Arceus walls it's STAB moves and can take a turn to set up with Swords Dance.

At least one response would be appreciated.
