[SET COMMENTS]
Arceus-Ground excels as the premier defensive Ground-type in the tier, answering many common Pokemon like Regieleki, Eternatus, and Great Tusk. Its Speed tier allows it function as a great defensive switch-in into Red Orb users like Landorus-I, Lugia, and Raging Bolt, allowing it to outspeed and OHKO with Judgment. Calm Mind lets it take on opposing special attackers like Raging Bolt, Eternatus, and non-Latiasite Magearna and Solgaleo and break through bulky defensive answers like Corviknight and Ho-Oh. Access to Recover sets Arceus-Ground apart from other bulky Ground-types like Great Tusk, Ursaluna, and Groudon, letting it remain healthy over the course of a match. Ice Beam offers the best coverage alongside Ground Judgment, hitting Pinsirite Great Tusk and Dragonite, although Power Gem is also an option to better manage Pokemon such as Latiosite Ceruledge, Ho-Oh, and Pinsirite Gouging Fire. Gravity is another option that instantly threatens these aforementioned Pokemon alongside other options like Levitate Steel-types such as Magearna and Solgaleo, but comes at the cost of needing an extra turn of setup. 216 Speed EVs and a Timid nature are an important benchmark to outspeed Raikou. The Defense EVs allow Arceus-Ground to better take on physical attackers like Regieleki and Great Tusk. Arceus-Ground is annoyed by Toxic spreaders like Latiasite Galarian Slowking and Pecharunt, so Pokemon that can absorb Toxic make for great partners, with options such as Sablenite Corviknight, Galarian Slowking, and pre-Mega Evolution Blissey and Garganacl all being good choices. Arceus-Ground also fears strong Water-type breakers who threaten an OHKO like Urshifu-R and Walking Wake, so answers like Red Orb Lugia and Altarianite Dragonite offer great synergy. Strong physical attackers such as Hisiuan Samurott, Hisuian Arcanine, (AC) and Galarian Zapdos also appreciate the pressure Arceus-Ground can put on the tiers physical walls and, as such, make for good teammates.

Arceus Ground (it's Arceus-Ground and not Arceus Ground, please fix that in the rest of ur analysis as well to ease gp's work) excels as the premier defensive Ground-type in the tier, answering many common Pokemon like Regieleki, Eternatus, and Great Tusk. Its Speed allows it function as a great defensive pivot (people use pivot like that ye but I feel like it's best to just say "check" or "switch-in" bc in general terms pivot refers to smth with a voltturn move like uturn / vswitch etc.) into Red Orb users like Landorus-I, Lugia, and Raging Bolt, allowing it to switch in to a Weather Ball and threaten a fast Ground-type Judgment. (reorder+slight dex indo removal) Calm Mind lets it take on opposing special attackers (examples?) and break through bulky defensive answers like Corviknight and Ho-Oh. Access to Recover sets Arceus Ground apart from other bulky Ground-types like Great Tusk, Ursaluna, and Groudon, letting it remain healthy over the course of a match. Calm Mind lets Arceus Ground further boost its bulk to take on opposing special attackers and break through bulky defensive answers like Corviknight and Ho-Oh. Ice Beam offers the best coverage alongside Ground Judgment, hitting <insert relevant foes here> although Surf, Power Gem, and Gravity are also options to better manage pokemon such as Latiosite Ceruledge, Ho-Oh, and Pinsirite Gouging Fire (I'd also mention lati steels here for gravity cuz u don't wanna get encored / cm psyahocked / ported on). (1 para) Arceus Ground should prioritize max HP investment to maximize their bulk, with 216 Speed EVs being are an important benchmark to outspeed base 115 Pokemon like Raikou. Defensive Evs EVs are then invested to better take on physical attackers like Regieleki and Great Tusk. Good partners for Arceus Ground is annoyed by being effected by status conditions (from?) so Pokemon that can absorb status make for great partners, with options such as Sablenite Corviknight, Blissey, Galarian Slowking, and Garganacl all being good choices. Arceus Ground also fears strong Water-type breakers who threaten an OHKO like Urshifu-R and Walking Wake so Water-type answers like Red Orb Lugia and Water Absorb Clodsire Altarianite Dragonite offer great synergy.

is it too short? lmao the last one i wrote was way too long talk about what mons benefit from groundy-- can maybe mention physical sweepers' synergy with it as a special sweeper. otherwise looks good

GP Grammar checked by:

Gambit_Gamin
- In the Speed tier sentence, "outspeed and OHKO" had no target.
- "Over the course of a match" was fine.
- It can be good to avoid repetition, like how "option" is repeated in the Gravity sentence.
- "Mega Evolution" is the extra evolution a Pokemon has; "Mega-Evolved" refers to a Pokemon that has undergone Mega Evolution.
- "Breaker(s)" should be replaced with "wallbreaker(s)" or "stallbreaker(s)" (usually the former).
- Do not refer to a Pokemon with "who"; use "which" or "that" instead depending on what's appropriate. (Which is used with commas and indicates non-essential information, while that is used without commas and indicates essential information.)
- Make sure the credits are formatted correctly; the categories should be "Written by:", "Quality checked by:", and "Grammar checked by:".
