* Arceus has the highest base stat total at 720, while previous Pokémon have had a maximum of 680. However, it does have lower stats in some areas than some other Pokémon, such as having lower {{stat|Speed}} than a {{p|Crobat}}, and having lower {{stat|Attack}} than a {{p|Pinsir}}, and there are several Pokémon that grow at slower rates, such as {{p|Shroomish}}, {{p|Makuhita}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Seviper}}, {{p|Corphish}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}.

It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
