{{p|Arceus}} has the Ability {{a|Multitype}}, which changes its type and appearance depending on the [[Plate]] it is holding. Likely as a precaution for Arceus hacked to be ???-type, a ???-type sprite of Arceus is present in {{5v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}; however, it is never used without hacking.

It is also likely that this ???-type Arceus was made so that Arceus wouldn't damage the game whenever it tried using Multitype to change its type, though this is probably not the case due to the lack of a ???-type [[Kecleon]].

In [[Generation IV]], if a pure {{type|Flying}} Pokémon uses {{m|Roost}}, it becomes a ???-type Pokémon until the end of the turn. However, in Generation IV, all Flying-type Pokémon have two types (except {{p|Arceus}}, which is unable to learn {{m|Roost}}). To obtain a ???-type Pokémon, the {{player}} must change a Pokémon to be a pure Flying-type Pokémon (with {{a|Color Change}}, {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}}), followed by using {{m|Roost}}. In [[Generation V]], if a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses {{m|Roost}}, it becomes a pure {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
