Arceus is featured prominently in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and plays a major role in its plot. | |||

Arceus is a white equine | [[File:LA Arceus Realm.png|thumb|250px|left|Arceus's appearance in its realm]] | ||
Arceus is a white, equine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an androgynous appearance. It resembles a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on its current type, which depends on the [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration. Despite its quadruped appearance, Arceus is capable of flight. | |||
Arceus is thought to have created | According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1,000 arms. Arceus has been referred to as "The Original One" in myths and legends and is generally considered to be one of the strongest Pokémon. Arceus is thought to have created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]], {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, as well as the [[Pokémon of Myth]], {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the Pokémon of Myth as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. As depicted in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Arceus has the power to not only calm {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} but also destroy the [[Red Chain]]. Arceus can change its type at will in order to adapt to a situation, as seen with its use of Plates (including the [[Legend Plate]]) or Z-Crystals. Arceus also has the power to split up into two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of its [[Dimension#Arceus' world|home dimension]] which is also implied to be its physical form, being only a piece of its whole being, while its true form is unknown and incomprehensible. | ||
Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. | Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it is explained that Arceus can give its blessing to Pokémon to make them more powerful, which are referred to as [[noble Pokémon]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}, and the power is passed down through family lines. The people of [[Hisui]] worshipped the noble Pokémon. Arceus can also create items for humans to use, such as the [[Arc Phone]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. Arceus has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges as seen in Eternal Battle Reverie. | ||
In the introduction sequence of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Arceus was capable of taking a large, golden, glowing, silhouette-like form while in its homeworld, it was shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], and it also states that Arceus is simply the name humans call it. The first ancient inhabitants of the Hisui [[region]], the Celestica, worshiped it, referring to it as "almighty Sinnoh" and "great Sinnoh". Arceus also had the title "might of Sinnoh", with the term Sinnoh later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worship it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, respectively, for Arceus. In [[Alola]], Arceus was used as base by the [[Aether Foundation]] to create an [[artificial Pokémon]] named {{p|Silvally|Type: Full}}, with an {{a|RKS System|Ability}} similar to Arceus's. However, the project was deemed a failure and was later abandoned. | |||
Arceus is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Judgment}}, which is capable of disintegrating the landscape around it. It is also able to use the charged-up versions of the [[Pokémon of Myth]]'s signature moves; {{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}, as shown in its boss battle in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Additionally, Arceus is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Multitype}} as an [[Ability]]. | |||

* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Arceus appears when [[Dark Matter]] begins trying to take the [[Tree of Life]] to the sun, leading the other Pokémon in attempting to stop its ascent. He is able to telepathically reach the player thanks to {{p|Mewtwo}} and transports them to the [[Tree of Life: Roots|Tree of Life's roots]] to confront Dark Matter. When Dark Matter regenerates itself and sends out a massive shockwave, Arceus and the other Legendary Pokémon gathered to stop the Tree of Life are immediately turned to stone. After Dark Matter is defeated, Arceus will remain at the top of {{OBP|Destiny Tower|Super Mystery Dungeon}}. | |||
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}}: {{ga|Arceus}} is the titular character of the game. It sends the [[player character]] [[Time travel|back in time]] to the [[Hisui]] region and gives them the mission of seeking out all Pokémon in Hisui. Throughout the game, Arceus occasionally communicates with and assists the player via the [[Arc Phone]]. | |||

=== | ===Form data=== | ||
Arceus has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy type as a whole. | |||
By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to. | |||
In games besides Legends: Arceus, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target, which also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. When determining the type that it changes into, any double weaknesses that the target may have are prioritized, followed by a type that resists the target's primary type (prioritizing immunities), then a type that resists the target's secondary type (again prioritizing immunities); if multiple types are equally valid, one of them is chosen at random. Arceus reverts back to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into {{g|HOME}} while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into HOME, these effects wear off. | |||
In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} from a [[Move Tutor]] while in its {{type|Dragon}} form (though it can learn it via [[TM]] in any form). | |||
[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus sprite]] | |||
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be legitimately obtained in the games, as there is no ???-type Plate. Due to how its Ability would automatically turn any Arceus without a Plate into the {{type|Normal}} in Generation IV, a ???-type Arceus [[cheating|hacked]] into the game will be treated as Normal-type. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type. | |||
Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]]. | |||

==In the anime== | |||
===Main series=== | |||
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] | |||
====Major appearances==== | |||
=====[[Arceus (M12)]]===== | |||
Arceus debuted in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the world. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction. | |||
=====Other===== | |||
Arceus appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away. | |||
Arceus appeared in [[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]], where it and the {{an|lake guardians}} assisted Ash and his friends in stopping a rampaging {{p|Heatran}} that had engulfed the [[Flame Plate]] acquired by Team Galactic. | |||
====Minor appearances==== | |||
Arceus made its main series debut as a silhouette in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]''. It was called upon by Ash, his friends, their alternate world counterparts, and the people in both of their worlds to help stop {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}'s fight and destroy the [[Red Chain]] that was forcing them to battle. | |||

===GOTCHA!=== | |||
An Arceus briefly appeared as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]]. | |||
==In the manga== | |||
[[File:Arceus Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Arceus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]] | |||
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|Arceus's various forms in Pokémon Adventures]] | |||
===Movie adaptations=== | |||
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the {{pkmn|movie}}. After Arceus saved the world from a meteor, [[Damos]] took care of it. It gave Damos the [[Jewel of Life]] to make the land of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. Damos then "betrayed" Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since. | |||
===Pokémon Adventures=== | |||
{{main|Arceus (Adventures)}} | |||
In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. It first appeared in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]''. | |||
{{-}} | |||
==In the TCG== | |||
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}} | |||
Arceus appears in the TCG in all {{TCG|type}}s but {{TCG|Dragon}} and {{TCG|Fairy}}, and a player can have as many Arceus cards in their deck as they like, unlike all other cards in the game (besides {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s). Cards based on Arceus first appeared in the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set. | |||
==Other appearances== | |||
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]=== | |||
[[File:Arceus 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Arceus trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']] | |||
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon where it uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards. | |||
====Trophy information==== | |||
Arceus appears as a trophy in both versions. | |||
''[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing. Newly hatched, it created the world and the sky.]] Its Gravity attack will bring any fighter in midair crashing down to earth. No ground below you? Looks like you're going to go plummeting off the stage as if you'd been hit by a Meteor Smash! '' | |||
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]=== | |||
Arceus appears as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}. | |||

* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]'s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard c instead of a soft c}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation's potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories. | |||

* While using the [[Legend Plate]], Arceus will never transform back into the {{t|Normal}} type, as nothing is weak to Normal. | |||
* Arceus is the only Pokémon to make the introduction for a [[core series]] game. | |||

===Origin=== | ===Origin=== | ||
Arceus | Arceus appears to be particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|llama}}, {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}. It also resembles a stylized {{wp|Halo (religious iconography)|halo}}, a form of religious iconography used by many religions to indicate holy, divine, or sacred figures; it has at various periods also been used in images of rulers and saints. | ||
The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp| | The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus). | ||

It may also involve ''arcane'', ''aureus'' (Latin for golden), ''{{wp|arc}}'', ''arcesso'' (Latin for ''I summon''), ''{{wp|Archeus}}'' (an aspect of the astral plane), or ''{{wp|Chaos (cosmogony)|Chaos}}'' (the origin state of the universe in Greek mythology, often personified as the first primordial deity). | ||
