Arceus (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].  

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 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 Pokémon 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 [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|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.

* According to {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Silvally}}’s [[Pokédex]] entries, Arceus served as the inspiration for the {{a|RKS System}}, which is Silvally’s [[signature Ability]]. It allows Silvally to change its [[type]] when holding a [[Memory]] of any kind, which is similar to how Arceus’s {{a|Multitype}} allows Arceus to change type when holding a [[Plate]] or a type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].
