Overview
Great all-around stats combined with a pure Dark typing make Arceus-Dark a very capable Pokemon in balanced and defensive teams.
While Arceus-Dark is somewhat outclassed by other support Arceus formes, it has an unique niche over them in the fact that it threatens trappers like Gothitelle and Mega Gengar, making Arceus-Dark a good user of Defog.
Resistances to Ghost and Dark with an additional Psychic immunity let Arceus-Dark check a plethora of common threats, such as Yveltal, Ultra Necrozma, Mega Gengar, and Psychic Terrain-based teams.
Dark has good neutral coverage, hitting notable threats in the tier such as Necrozma-DM and Giratina-O, giving Arceus-Dark good offensive presence and making it one of the better Calm Mind Arceus formes.
Arceus-Dark suffers from the prevalence of Fairy-types, since it's unable to do anything to them aside from using Toxic and is beaten down easily.
Fighting-types such as Mega Lucario, while not as common as Fairy-types, are a struggle for Arceus-Dark to overcome.
优秀的六围以及纯恶系让恶创能入平衡队和防守队伍
虽然恶创某些程度上被其他辅助创超过，因为它威胁诸如姨妈和耿鬼等捕获手，它对其他720有独特的优势，让恶创是好的除雾手
抗鬼和恶，再加上超能系免疫，让恶创check诸如Y鸟，光龙，耿鬼和超场队伍等许多常见威胁
恶系有好的打击面，打诸如日骡子和鬼龙O等值得注意的威胁，给恶创好的攻击力并让它成为更好的冥想创
恶创受仙系横行之苦，因为它除了剧毒之外不能干任何事并且被轻易打败
诸如M卢卡等格斗系，虽然不像仙系那样普遍，对于恶创来说很难战胜

Arceus-Dark @ Dread Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 Spe
Timid Nature
- Judgment
- Recover
- Toxic/Will-O-Wisp
- Defog
Moves
Judgment is Arceus-Dark's most consistent attack, hitting all types and letting it check Ultra Necrozma, Lugia, and Giratina-O.
Recover keeps Arceus-Dark alive throughout the game and allows it to check the Pokemon it is supposed to.
Toxic cripples common switch-ins to Arceus-Dark, such as Ho-Oh, Primal Groudon, and Arceus-Fairy, and enables it to defeat Yveltal one-on-one.
Defog provides entry hazard removal, and Arceus-Dark's sheer bulk and Dark-type Judgment make it an acceptable user of the move.
Will-O-Wisp can be used over Toxic to cripple Necrozma-DM, Marshadow, and Mega Lucario, but lacking Toxic makes Arceus-Dark unable to punish other switch-ins properly, such as Primal Groudon and Fairy-types.
Ice Beam can be used to allow Arceus-Dark to consistently check Rayquaza, Mega Salamence, and Zygarde.
制裁之砾是恶创最持久的攻击，打全属性并让它check光龙，洛鸟和鬼龙O
再生让恶创在游戏中存活，并让它check它想要的精灵
剧毒削弱诸如凤王，古拉和仙创等常见换挡，并让它一对一击败Y鸟
除雾提供扫钉，恶创的耐久和恶属性制裁让它作为可接受的除雾手
鬼火能替代剧毒削弱日骡子，玛夏多和卢卡，不过缺少剧毒让恶创不能正确惩罚诸如古拉和仙系等其他换挡精灵
冰光能用来让恶创持续check裂空，血翼和Z神
Set Details
Dread Plate is required for a Dark-type Judgment and to use Arceus-Dark.
A Timid nature with 96 Speed EVs enables Arceus-Dark to outspeed everything up to maximum base 100 Speed Pokemon, including notable threats such as Timid Yveltal and Palkia.
The HP EVs, in tandem with the Defense EVs, maximize Arceus-Dark's physical bulk, notably letting it avoid the OHKO from +1 Adamant Mega Salamence Double-Edge after Stealth Rock and the 2HKO from Life Orb Yveltal's Oblivion Wing.
恶石板需要用来使用恶制裁和恶创
96速胆小让恶创快过100极速，包括诸如胆小Y鸟和帕鲁等值得注意的威胁
HP和物防努力最大化恶创的物耐，值得注意的是让它避免踩钉后被+1极攻血翼舍身OHKO以及命玉Y鸟死亡之翼2HKO
An EV spread of 252 HP / 64 Def / 192 Spe with a Timid nature should be used if running Fire Blast or Will-O-Wisp, as it lets Arceus-Dark outspeed Jolly Mega Lucario.
A bulkier EV spread of 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe with a Bold nature can be used to outspeed neutral-natured base 90 Speed Pokemon and significantly increase Arceus-Dark's physical bulk, allowing it to take a +2 Precipice Blades from Primal Groudon and avoid the 2HKO from a Life Orb Ho-Oh Brave Bird.
如果用大火或者鬼火，252 HP / 64 Def / 192 Spe配合胆小性格应该使用，因为它让恶创快过极速卢卡
252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe配合大胆性格能用来快过90满速并显著增强恶创的物耐，让它吃下+2古拉的断崖并避免被命玉凤王勇鸟2HKO
Usage Tips
Arceus-Dark should be used as the primary switch-in to Yveltal, Ghost-types such as Giratina-O and Lunala, and finally, Necrozma-DM.
If using Will-O-Wisp, it is best used as early as possible to cripple its main targets, namely physical attackers and Steel-types such as Marshadow and Necrozma-DM.
As Arceus-Dark cannot check offensive Primal Groudon sets, it shouldn't be left as the primary Primal Groudon check.
Use Toxic to pressure possible switch-ins like Fairy- and Fighting-types to prevent them from using Arceus-Dark as setup fodder.
Sometimes, it is worth to trade Toxic with Pokemon like Primal Groudon and Yveltal, if the opposing team doesn't pack a cleric, but in general, it is best to avoid being hit by Toxic, as this will severely hinder Arceus-Dark's walling capabilities.
恶创能用来作为Y鸟，诸如鬼龙O和月神等鬼系和日骡子的主要换挡
如果用鬼火，最好用的越早越好来削弱主要的目标，即诸如玛夏多和日骡子等物攻手和钢系
因为恶创不能挡攻向古拉配置，它不应该作为主要挡古拉的东西
用剧毒对仙系和格斗系等可能换挡的精灵施压，避免它们拿恶创做强化起点
有时候如果对面队伍没有队医，值得和像古拉以及Y鸟之类的精灵交换剧毒，不过通常最好避免受剧毒伤害，因为这会严重阻碍恶创的防守能力
Team Options
Arceus-Dark works best on defensive teams that either have strong Primal Groudon checks and need a Pokemon that resists Dark or a Ultra Necrozma switch-in or are severely weak to Shadow Tag users.
Primal Groudon provides a switch-in to Fairy-types and Primal Kyogre and Stealth Rock support, and if Arceus-Dark is using Stealth Rock, Primal Groudon is free to run a offensive set.
Necrozma-DM is another great partner, as it heavily pressures Fairy-types, checks most Toxic users in the tier, and can provide Stealth Rock support or, if running an offensive set, pressure most offensive teams in general.
Ho-Oh immensely benefits from Defog support and handles Fairy- and Fighting-types and Primal Groudon to an extent for Arceus-Dark.
Marshadow likes Arceus-Dark taking on Yveltal, and in return, Marshadow takes on threats such as Mega Lucario and Tyranitar while also giving an additional Necrozma-DM check.
Mega Gengar traps and eliminates Fairy-types and provides a Fighting-type immunity.
Checks to offensive Primal Groudon sets such as Giratina-O, Lugia, and Zygarde to an extent are recommended.
恶创最好在要么有强力的古拉check并需要恶抗或者光龙的换挡，要么非常弱踩影手的防守型队伍
古拉提供对仙系和海皇的换挡，岩钉辅助，并且如果恶创出岩钉，古拉能用攻向配置
日骡子是另外一个好队友，因为它对仙系的压力很大，check分级中大多数剧毒手，能提供岩钉辅助或者如果攻向配置通常能对对面的攻队施压
凤王非常受益于除雾支持，并在一定程度上为恶创处理仙系，斗系和古拉
玛夏多喜欢恶创处理Y鸟，作为回报，玛夏多处理诸如卢卡和班吉拉等威胁，也提供额外的日骡子check
耿鬼抓死仙系并提供斗免
诸如鬼龙O，洛鸟和Z神等攻向古拉check在一定程度上被推荐
Bulky Pokemon that appreciate Arceus-Dark's ability to threaten Gothitelle and Mega Gengar and have a good defensive synergy with Arceus-Dark, such as Toxapex, Chansey, and Lugia, make for good partners.
Other bulky Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, Bronzong, Magearna, and Mega Scizor are helpful for Arceus-Dark to deal with Fairy-types.
诸如超坏星，小蛋和洛鸟等，喜欢恶创威胁姨妈和M耿鬼的盾牌并且和恶创有良好联防的精灵是好队友
诸如草钢，钢钟，马基和M螳螂等钢盾帮助恶创处理仙系

Calm Mind
Arceus-Dark @ Dread Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Judgment
- Calm Mind
- Recover
- Refresh
Moves
Judgment is Arceus-Dark's strongest STAB option with unmatched power and accuracy.
Calm Mind boosts Arceus-Dark's offensive and defensive capabilities against Pokemon that are unable to do much damage to it, such as Yveltal and any support Arceus forme that isn't Fairy.
Recover helps Arceus-Dark maintain its HP and accumulate Calm Mind boosts against weaker threats.
Refresh removes status conditions and allows Arceus-Dark to set up on most walls in the tier, such as Necrozma-DM, Lugia, and Giratina.
制裁是恶创的最强本系选择，配合不可及的威力和命中
冥想提升恶创的攻守能力，面对诸如Y鸟和不是仙创的辅助创等不能造成太多伤害的精灵
再生帮助恶创维持它的HP，并对着弱小的威胁多次冥想
清新去除状态并让恶创对着诸如日骡子，洛鸟和鬼龙等大多数盾牌强化
Set Details
Dread Plate is required to use Arceus-Dark and boosts the power of Judgment.
Maximum Speed EVs in tandem with a Timid nature enable Arceus-Dark to Speed tie with Swords Dance Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Ghost and outspeed most support Arceus formes.
Maximum HP EVs maximize Arceus-Dark's bulk.
The remainder of the EVs are put in Special Attack to give Arceus-Dark a bit more power.
恶石板需要用来变成恶创并提高制裁的威力
最大化速度努力配合胆小性格让恶创和剑舞地创以及鬼创拼速度，并快过大多数辅助创
HP努力最大化恶创的耐久
剩余的努力投入特攻给恶创一些更多的威力
Usage Tips
As this set is completely walled by common Fairy-types such as Xerneas and Magearna, it is appropriate to weaken them before attempting a Calm Mind sweep.
Arceus-Dark can set up Calm Mind on Yveltal and most walls that don't carry super effective coverage for it, such as support Arceus formes, Zygarde, and Necrozma-DM, so pivot it on these Pokemon for setup opportunities.
It's best to not reveal Calm Mind on Arceus-Dark, as if its checks are removed or weakened this set can be a devastating late-game sweeper.
Because this Arceus-Dark has Refresh and enough longevity and bulk, it can be used as a status absorber and an emergency check for sweepers such as mixed Rock Polish Primal Groudon and Double Dance Necrozma-DM.
因为这个配置完全被诸如X鹿和马基等常见仙系完挡，它喜欢在想要冥想之前削弱它们
恶创能对着没有对它克制的Y鸟和诸如辅助创，Z神和日骡子等大多数盾牌冥想，所以对着这些精灵上场获得强化机会
最好不要露出恶创的冥想，因为如果它的check被移除或者削弱，这个配置能成为可怕的后期清场手
因为恶创有清新以及足够的续航和耐久，它能用做状态的吸收手以及诸如双刀岩切古拉和双舞日骡子等清场手的紧急check
Team Options
Necrozma-DM checks Fairy-types and can provide Stealth Rock support for Arceus-Dark. Other Steel-types such as Magearna, Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor are useful to keep Fairy-types at bay.
Primal Groudon is another Pokemon that can function well with Arceus-Dark, as it can also set up Stealth Rock and threaten Fairy-types while being a great pick for most teams.
Giratina-O provides Defog support and a Fighting-type immunity and appreciates Arceus-Dark's ability to check Yveltal.
Zygarde can take on Ho-Oh and Marshadow for Arceus-Dark.
Other Pokemon that can take on Ho-Oh such as Mega Salamence and Lugia make for good partners, with specifically Mega Salamence appreciating Arceus-Dark's ability to threaten some of its checks.
日骡子check仙系，并且能为恶创提供岩钉支持。其他诸如马基，草钢和螳螂等钢系用来让仙系陷入困境
古拉是另外一只能和恶创有良好相性的精灵，因为它也能出岩钉并威胁仙系，同时是大多数队伍的好选择
鬼龙O提供除雾辅助，斗免并喜欢恶创check伊维塔尔的能力
Z神能为恶创处理凤王和玛夏多
其他诸如血翼和洛鸟等处理凤王的精灵是好队友，特别来讲，血翼喜欢恶创威胁它的一些check

Other Options
A Perish Trap set centered around Whirlpool + Perish Song allows Arceus-Dark to function as a good stallbreaker capable of trapping most defensive Pokemon; however, it is quite ineffective against more offensive teams.
围绕着漩涡灭歌的配置能让恶创破受，抓大多数盾牌，然而它对更攻的队伍非常无效
Stealth Rock can be used alternatively for entry hazard support if the team already has entry hazard removal.
Fire Blast with an EV spread of 252 HP / 64 Def / 192 Spe and a Timid nature to outspeed Jolly Mega Lucario can be used to net surprise OHKOs on certain Steel-types such as Mega Lucario, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn while also heavily damaging other Steel-types such as Magearna and Celesteela on the switch.
如果队伍已经有扫钉手，岩钉能选择性地用作出钉辅助
大火配合252 HP / 64 Def / 192 Spe的胆小性格能快过极速卢卡，OHKO诸如卢卡，螳螂和草钢等钢系，也能读换重创其他诸如马基和辉夜等钢系

Checks and Counters
Fairy-types: MostFairy-types, such as Xerneas, Arceus-Fairy, and Magearna, wall Arceus-Dark andKO it with their STAB moves. Xerneas and Arceus-Fairy have to be wary of Toxic,though, while Magearna completely shuts down Arceus-Dark and is only 3HKOed byFire Blast.
Fighting-types: MegaLucario, Marshadow, Blaziken, and Pheromosa can easily take down Arceus-Darkwith their STAB Fighting-type attacks. However, due to their frailty, theyshould avoid switching in on Judgment multiple times and watch out for variantscarrying Will-O-Wisp.
Certain Steel-types: BulkySteel-types that aren't weak to Judgment, such as Ferrothorn, Celesteela, andMega Scizor, are immune to Toxic and can punish Arceus-Dark. However, they haveto watch out for certain sets carrying Fire Blast.
Blissey and Chansey: Blisseyand Chansey can shrug off any attack from Arceus-Dark with ease, remove statuswith Heal Bell or Natural Cure, and cripple Arceus-Dark with Toxic.
仙系：大多数诸如X鹿，仙创和马基的仙系，挡恶创并用本系KO它。X鹿和仙创要小心剧毒，同时马基完全挡恶创，只是被大火3HKO
格斗系：卢卡，玛夏多，火鸡和蟑螂能轻易用斗本带走恶创。然而，它们脆皮，它们应该避免多次换挡制裁，并盯防带鬼火的配置
特定的钢系：诸如草钢，螳螂和辉夜等不虚制裁的钢盾，免疫剧毒，能惩罚恶创。然而，它们必须盯防带鬼火的特点配置
大小蛋：大小蛋能轻易吃下恶创的任何进攻，用铃铛或者NaturalCure移除状态，并用剧毒削弱恶创
Primal Kyogre: OffensivePrimal Kyogre sets dislike being hit by Toxic but threaten to OHKO Arceus-Darkwith +1 Origin Pulse, while defensive variants can wear down Arceus-Dark withthe combination of Scald and Toxic and remove status with Rest.
Ho-Oh: Ho-Oh, with itsmassive special bulk, easily takes a Judgment from Arceus-Dark and canretaliate with a powerful Sacred Fire or Brave Bird or simply poison it withToxic. However, Ho-Oh heavily dislikes being hit by Toxic and is threatened tobe 2HKOed by Judgment if it switches into Stealth Rock.
海皇：攻向海皇配置不喜欢中剧毒，但是以+1根源波动威胁OHKO恶创，同时防守向能用沸水和剧毒的组合削弱恶创并用睡觉移除剧毒
凤王：凤王以它海量的特耐，轻松吃下恶创的制裁，并能以大威力圣火或者战鸟回击，甚至只是用剧毒。然而，凤王非常不喜欢中剧毒，如果踩钉会被制裁2HKO
