Checks and Counters
########
########
- Like all Arceus Formes, has good all around stats, but can't hurt much without boosts
- Defog helps, but He is still weak to Stealth Rock
- Can't hold an item
- Is probably one of the worst Arceus Formes
- Gained resistance to Fairy, making Specially Defensive Fire Arceus a good Xerneas Check
- Weak to common attacking types such as water, rock and ground
Offensive Calm Mind
########
name: Offensive Calm Mind
move 1: Calm Mind
move 2: Judgment
move 3: Thunder/Thunderbolt
move 4: Recover/Ice Beam
ability: Multitype
item: Flame Plate
ivs: 0 Atk
evs: 160 HP/252 SpA/96 Spe
nature: Timid/Modest
Moves
========
- Calm mind boosts Arceus' Special Attack and Special Defense at the same time
- Judgment is the mandatory STAB, hitting hard in the sun or after a few calm minds
- Thunder hits Kyogre hard but thunderbolt can be used as a more reliable alternative outside of rain
- Recover allows to heal off stealth rock damage and any other damage He might have taken
- Ice beam hits the mighty dragons who resist Judgment and Thunder
Set Details (WIP)
========
- 160 HP/252 SpA/96 Spe with a timid nature lets Him outspeed positive base 100s. Maximum Speed is possible but not very useful.
- Use 132 HP/252 SpA/124 Spe or 252 HP/252 SpA/4 SpD if using modest
- 0 Attack IVs minimize foul play and confusion damage (not that they're very common)
Usage Tips (WIP)
========
- Keep SR off field as much as possible to perserve arceus' bulk
- Unless you a few calm minds already set up, staying in on Kyogre is not recommended
- Make sure all of Arceus' counters are eliminated before you use Him
Team Options (WIP)
========
- Groudon brings Sun Support, powering up Judgment and negating his water weakness
- Defog and Rapid spin users keep Arceus happy
Specially Defensive
########
name: Specially Defensive

move 4: Roar/Will-o-wisp/Toxic/Reflect/Lightscreen/Subsitute
ability: Multitype
item: Flame Plate
ivs: 0 Atk
evs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
nature: Calm
Moves
========
- Calm mind boosts boost Arceus' already high special bulk while allowing Him to boost His special attack at the same time
- Judgment is the mandatory STAB, hitting hard in the sun or after a few calm minds
- Recover is reliable reocvery
- The last move slot is the most variable, Toxic helps wear down opposing walls, Roar gives phazing, Will-o-wisp and Reflect gives Him a way to deal with physical threats, while lightscreen makes Him a nearly impervious special wall and Subsitute helps Him avoid status.

- TBC
