Ubers Arceus-Ground

[nimzowitsch]

Arceus-Ground @ Earth Plate
Ability: Multitype
Tera Type: Ground / Fairy
EVs: 128 HP / 252 Atk / 128 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw / Outrage
- Taunt / Recover

Arceus-Ground is a lethal setup sweeper capable of leveling teams with a single Dragon Dance! Dragon Claw and Outrage have excellent coverage alongside Earthquake, notably hitting Giratina-O hard. Dragon Claw is preferred for its reliability, but Outrage can OHKO Koraidon and frailer Giratina-O variants after Stealth Rock. Taunt denies recovery and blocks status moves such as Will-O-Wisp from Giratina-O and Groudon. Recover lets Arceus-Ground acquire multiple boosts, making it unstoppable. Tera Ground boosts the power of Earthquake to absurd levels, allowing Arceus-Ground to cleanly OHKO offensive Koraidon at +1. Alternatively, Tera Fairy grants a crucial immunity to Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor. 128 Speed EVs ensure Arceus-Ground outspeeds Timid Kyogre. 128 HP EVs add bulk and facilitate setup. Arceus-Ground appreciates dual screens support from Grimmsnarl and Shed Tail support from Cyclizar to help it set up. Good offensive partners include Koraidon and Zacian-C, which heavily pressure Ting-Lu and Giratina-O, two bulky Pokemon that Arceus-Ground has trouble with. Miraidon is another good partner, as it pressures Giratina-O, Groudon, and Corviknight; in return, Arceus-Ground OHKOes Clodsire for it.

QC ready, but the length is a bit on the long side.

I assume the Dragon coverage is for Tina-O, since all the other dragons are already hit hard by Earth Plate EQ. Otherwise, I would argue that Stone Edge is the better coverage move for things like Tera Flying mons.

Outrage has the potential to OHKO frailer Giratina-O variants after Stealth Rock.

also mention Koraidon here, this is something Dragon Claw and non-Tera boosted Earthquake can't achieve and it's an important piece of the metagame.

block status moves such as Will-O-Wisp

mention the users here (Gira-O, Tera Fairy Skeledirge, Groudon)

Good offensive partners for Arceus-Ground include Koraidon and Zacian-Crowned, both of which heavily pressure Ting-Lu and Giratina-O, two bulky Pokemon that Arceus-Ground might have trouble with.

I'd mention Miraidon has a good partner, as Arceus-Ground easily OHKO Clodsire and Miraidon threatens Giratina, Groudon and Corviknight, which can check Arceus-Ground.

Good job chef, implement this and its QC 1/1

Since it's a bit too long I made some optional cuts to get the length down, up to writer which to implement!

The Alpha Pokemon is ready to shake the ground in Ubers! (optional cut #1) Arceus-Ground is a lethal set-up (RH) sweeper capable of leveling teams with only (optional cut #2) a single Dragon Dance! Dragon Claw and Outrage have excellent coverage alongside Earthquake, notably hitting Giratina-O very hard. Dragon Claw is preferred due to its reliability, but Outrage has the potential to can OHKO Koraidon and frailer Giratina-O variants after Stealth Rock. Taunt is a good option in the last moveslot to deny recovery and block status moves such as Will-O-Wisp from Giratina-O, Tera Fairy Skeledirge, and Groudon. However, Recover is another solid pick to can potentially enable Arceus-Ground to acquire multiple boosts, making it nigh unstoppable. Tera Ground boosts the power of Earthquake to absurd levels, allowing Arceus to cleanly OHKO offensive Koraidon after only a single Dragon Dance. Alternatively, Tera Fairy grants a crucial immuniites immunity to Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor. Maximum Attack investment allows Arceus-Ground to dish out as much damage as possible, while 128 Speed EVs ensures Arceus-Ground it outspeeds Timid Kyogre. The remaining EVs are put into HP to pad out Arceus-Ground's add (optional change #3 but helps with the name repetition) bulk and facilitate setup. Arceus-Ground appreciates dual screens support from Grimmsnarl and Shed Tail support from Cyclizar, (RC) both of which to make setting up much easier. Good offensive partners for Arceus-Ground include Koraidon and Zacian-Crowned, both of which heavily pressure Ting-Lu and Giratina-O, two bulky Pokemon that Arceus-Ground might have trouble with. Miraidon is another good partner, as it appreciates Arceus-Ground OHKOing Clodsire, and pressures Giratina-O, Groudon, and Corviknight, all of which pose problems for Arceus-Ground; in return, Arceus-Ground OHKOes Clodsire for it. (rearranged to lead with what Miraidon does for Arceus first then follow with what Arceus does for it in return since this spotlight is about Arceus)

Feel free to poke me for a second look after making changes and I can help find more places to cut down if needed!

Sorry I didn’t get the notification the first time! Here’s some edits to help with condensing and a couple small mistakes I noticed on a second pass. Let’s see if we can get it to 1100.
