According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[creation trio]]: {{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 creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them.

===In the Arceus and the Jewel of Life manga===
Arceus appears as a central character in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga adaptation, reprising its role from the film. 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.

* Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. The announcer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] pronounced it "AR-see-uss". A promotional trailer for ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' used the pronunciation "Ar-SAY-us". In the final release of ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'', it was pronounced "AR-key-us", which was affirmed as the official pronunciation by a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag and by the [[Pokémon Essential Handbook]].
