 {{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 {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}; however, it is never otherwise used without hacking.
 In the event Arceus is hacked to be in this form, it will still be Normal-type (or whatever type of plate it is holding) since the coloring of Arceus in each form is solely aesthetic, and the type is actually determined by Multitype. There is no way to make Arceus actually ???-type, and even when it's sent into battle it will revert to the appropriate form.

 ==Retirement==
-The ??? type is not present in the coding of the [[Generation V]] games, since Eggs had not displayed types from Generation IV onward and the type of {{m|Curse}} was newly changed to {{t|Ghost}}. This was possibly because it necessitated making many special cases that would otherwise be unnecessary. Since the only official use of the type at the time of its retirement was for a single non-damaging move, the type itself was essentially useless.
+The ??? type is not present in the core series games from [[Generation V]] onward, as Eggs were changed in [[Generation IV]] to not display a type at all, and the only move which used the type, {{m|Curse}}, was changed to be {{t|Ghost}} type.
