Can a Naive Arceus work?

Naive nature is +Speed, -Special Defense. I wanna know if it’s any good for competitive. Here’s the Set I was planning to run:

Arceus-Fire@ Flame PlateAbility: MultitypeEvs: 252 Spe / 252 SpA / 4 AtkNaive Nature (+Spe, -SpD)

Would it work? :\

Naive is fine - it’s just a sub optimal EXKiller. Use the standard EXKiller set and you’ll be good.

Unless you’re talking about whether or not Naive has any competitive use or reason? If that’s the case - no. Mixed Arceus is the only thing Naive would go well with and you shouldn’t used Mixed Arceus if you’re trying to be serious.commented 58 minutes ago by PX

If you’re trying to run an effective Ekiller you should use the standard one - though I must admit that variant looks kind of fun. I like the idea of just poppin Zygardes and hitting Giratina’s on it’s weaker side.commented 8 minutes ago by PX

Okay, you are planning to have your Arceusoverly speedy. To utilize that much speed, use set-up moves such as Swords Dance or Special set-up moves like Calm Mind. The thing is if you have such high speed, expecting a quick first attack with very high power to take out your foe is reasonable but against a bulky staller it’s going to have a very very hard time (and nowadays every team has one of those). So if you can teach it some moves that can take advantage of its high speed then why not? Instead of taking the risk of not get an at the start OHKO, if you have the guarantee for the rest of the battle to take out every single foe almost certainly, then which would you choose? The rest depends on you as you also have other Pokemon to depend on other things.Hope I helped. :)))
