Which set is best for Arceus?

1 minute read

I am trying to decide between two sets for an Arceus that can hit anything, but I just need to know which set and moves are the best for it. (Both has relaxed nature -Spd,+Def)

Set 1Arceus @ Spooky PlateAbility: Multitype- Judgement (Ghost)- Brick Break (If you have a better recommendation for a fighting type move, please tell me)- Extreme Speed- Recover

Set 2Arceus @ Fist PlateAbility: Multitype- Judgement (Fighting)- Shadow Ball (If you have a better recommendation for a ghost type move, please tell me)- Extreme Speed- Recover

(For competition in battle spot in main series games)

What I see:If you do Arceus ghost, Replace brick break with focus blast: It is best not to do split offensives on Arceus. Extreme speed is still a great priority move, it can ko Pokemon with low hp, even if you aren’t offensive. If you wish to use another move, moves I would recommend are: Cosmic power(unexpected) {1}, Flash cannon, Psyshock, or flamethrower.

If you use Arceus fighting: Extreme speed is okay but can be replaced with the same moves as Arceus ghost if need be.

I’d use Arceus Fighting: It is unexpected and can easily become difficult for opponents to deal with.

Source: I use Arceus in battle spot a lot.

{1} I sweep with Arceus dragon and cosmic power in the battle spot.

When legendary and mythical Pokemon are allowed, there tends to be a lot of fairy Pokemon and flying Pokemon everywhere. There are relatively few dark Pokemon (Yveltal is pretty much the only one, and it’s not like fighting Arceus would be better against it), so a ghost Arceus would get more opportunities to be sent into battle and be useful and be less likely to be shut down quickly. I would recommend the ghost Arceus. By the way, you should probably use shadow force instead of judgement so investing in physical attack will power up all your moves.
