I just want to know how to beat him in case I fight one online/with friends?

Are you playing competitively or just casually? The answer will really depend on that.

It really depends on what type he is. Just try to use type advantages as much as possible. He is only in the Uber tier (obviously) so you will only face him when you have some pretty powerful Pokemon of your own. There is no solid counter to him, as he can be any type at all, so something that will resist whatever type of Judgement he will use, and can do super-effective damage to him is preferable. He will often use Thunderbolt and Ice Beam as well, so something not weak to that is also a bonus. If you can, scout out what moves he has in particular, as he does have a very diverse move set, but I think Ice Beam + Thunderbolt + Judgement is pretty standard on a Special Attacker set. Occasionally you may find a physical attacker, but I don't think they are as common.

Um... ExtremeKiller Arceus is pretty common. I'll say a check could be a Dialga with Bulk Up and Rest and Sleep Talk with a filler move that is physical.
true, I forgot is learns Extreme Speed. Dialga probably wouldn't like a Ground-type Judgement, though, and Bulk Up won't help it, as that only boosts Defence, not Special Defence. Although, you are right, Dialga could probably deal with most of its types.
Dialga is absolutely demolished by a +2 Earthquake or Brick Break.
Or bulky Giratina, but then there's Shadow Claw. And Ground Arceus isn't that common, considering Steel Arceus is a much better wall and Rock Arceus' Judgement covers more.
i meant just for Extreme Killer
Are you talking to me SS?
Taunt is a good method to stall the SD. Many hold a Lum Berry so you could also use T-spikes then throw on a Will-O-Wisp or similar to cripple that attack stat. Another decent tactic is just to use priority since most e-speed Arceus have little Speed EVs in. Force switching with moves like Roar or Dragon claw works too.
All of you. Meh
Earthquake and Brick Break are on at least 90% of all XKillers.
On the Extreme Speed part, it can be a check to that. :/
It either needs to be able to KO it to be a check, or take any of its moves to be a counter.
When Arceus is in it's Flying form, it's the only solid Flying-type - all Flying-types are dual types. Sooo interesting. :3
Off topic. :P
@IndigoSapphire - Tornadus is a pure Flying type
@everyone - so basically like I said - there is no solid counter to Arceus, some things like Giratina or Dialga may work, but then again they may not.
...Fine, Arceus was the first pure Flying type. xD
Bulbapedia disagrees o3o
Prior to Generation V, this type was the only one of the seventeen that was never seen as an authentic pure type; Tornadus is the first pure Flying type.
Arcues don't count :3
ResTalk  Giratina-A is pretty much one of the most solid checks to Arceus including Extreme Killer Arceus mainly because it has access to Will-O-Wisp and Roar/Dragon Tail. It can really just cripple and physical variant and phaze it out seeing that a boosted Shadow Claw can't KO a defensive Giratina.
I would have to disagree with that last sentence. Physical ExtremeKiller Arceus is probably the most used Pokemon in the tier, and definitely the most used Arceus.
I am just saying that Extreme Killer Arceus can't set-up on a Giratina because an unboosted Shadow Claw won't be doing anything to physically defensive variants
Maybe it is. I wouldn't actually know because I barely ever play in Ubers, preferring UU and below. I just assumed most were Special so they could make good use of Judgement.
Screw you KoD, I'm right. ;~;
