==Biology==
===Physiology===
Arceus is an equine being similar to a {{wp|Qilin}} or {{wp|Centaur}}. Its body is white with a gray underside, and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes with red pupils. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it.
====Gender differences====
Arceus is genderless.
====Special abilities====
[[Image:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and the [[lake trio]].
While Arceus is normally a pure {{type2|Normal}}, it has the [[ability]] to {{a|Multitype|change its type and appearance}} when in contact with special [[plate]]s.
Arceus also has the [[signature move|unique ability]] to {{m|Judgment|call down shots of light}} on its foes.  Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}.
===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
==In the anime==
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michīna]] for [[Damos]]'s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so attempted to destroy the land. When Ash and his friends are teleported by {{an|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influence the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.
==In the manga==
Arceus has not made any manga appearances yet.
==In the TCG==
{{main|Arceus (TCG)}}
Arceus appears in the TCG in all nine {{TCG|elemental types}}, 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 Japanese {{TCG|Advent of Arceus}} expansion.

[[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|[[Alternate coloration|Alternate-color]] sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]]
* At level 80, Arceus is the second highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture. The highest is {{p|Magikarp}} which can be caught at level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level [[legendary]] Pokémon available for capture.
* In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Arceus's [[base stat]] total is 720, higher than any other Pokémon. {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|Previous Pokémon}}, among them {{p|Mewtwo}}, have only had a maximum total of 680.
* Arceus has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Blissey}}. That means an Arceus would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at [[level]] 100 and belongs to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.
* The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable, as there is no [[plate]] in the code that can be used for this. It is possible this sprite was programmed in to prevent game crashes caused by tampering with Arceus's type.
* Arceus's signature move, Judgment, is the only move that Arceus is guaranteed [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] for, as it is always the same type as Arceus itself. However, on the battle screen, Judgment is always displayed as a {{type2|Normal}} attack.
* Even though it is said that Arceus created the world with its thousand arms, it is not shown to have any arms at all.
* Holding the Sky Plate, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can be in battle through the use of {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{a|Color Change}}).
* With the appropriate [[plate]], Arceus is the only legendary {{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, or {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Arceus has its own unique battle music when it is encountered. It shares this trait with {{p|Deoxys}}, as well as {{p|Giratina}} (in {{v2|Platinum}} only).
* {{m|Earth Power}} is the only move with a fixed base power, besides {{m|Judgment}}, that Arceus learns by level-up which can receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] with a plate attached.
===Origin===
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the {{wp|Qilin}}. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the {{wp|Pangu}}, the Chinese creation deity.
Arceus may also be inspired by (or a representation of) {{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 flavor text) or in a white four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Arceus's Normal form).
Some inspiration may have come from a {{wp|horse}}, because of its Platinum sprite and attack movements in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
====Name origin====
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.
Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'', and is derived from the ancient Greek word for "beginning", ''arkhē''. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original). Alternatively, Arceus's name can be seen as a portmanteau of ''Zeus'', the most powerful of Greek gods and ''arch'' (highest).
