'''Arceus''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

==History==
[[File:Arceus Multitype Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Multitype activated]]
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Arceus appears as one of the main antagonists, where it plans on destroying humanity due to its mistrust of humans. It was the target of [[Team Rocket]]'s plans to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus first appeared in a flash forward in ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', battling against {{adv|Gold}}. It made its first actual appearance in ''[[PS450|With a Little Help From Hitmonchan]]'', having been summoned by [[Archer]] due to all the [[plate]]s being in the same place. {{Adv|Crystal}} decides to try and capture it but Arceus proves to be too strong and escapes. 

[[PS451|After escaping]] Arceus goes to the [[Ecruteak Gym]] and promptly destroys the place. {{adv|Gold}} then attempts to battle it, but Arceus easily pushes away his teams attacks before flying away to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. Upon arriving at the Ruins Arceus places a barrier around itself and Gold, forcing him to battle it. After a quick fight {{adv|Silver}} appears with all 16 [[plate]]s and Arceus transports everyone in the area to the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Upon arrving [[Team Rocket]] captures Arceus and forces it to the Mystri Stage. [[Archer]] then uses the plates to control Arceus and force it to create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

After the [[Pokédex holder]]s intervene Arceus regains control of itself, but continues to create the [[Legendary Pokémon]] as well as absorb the plates. Gold then attempts to calm Arceus's heart and eventually succeeds after bonding with his [[Togebo]]. Satisfied with Gold's connection with his Pokémon Arceus commands the Legendary Pokémon to stop fighting and takes its leave.

==Personality and characteristics==
Prior to the start of the series Arceus lived in harmony with humans but eventually something caused it to mistrust them and since them it exhibited strong hostility towards them, sometimes attacking on sight without cause. Despite this Arceus wishes to see the good in humans again, waiting for one to show it their heart and end its suffering. After seeing Gold bond with his {{p|Togekiss}} Arceus began to regain some trust in humans.

It is a very powerful Pokémon having the {{a|Multitype|ability}} to change into any [[Type|type]] it wishes using any of the plates, with it's [[signature move]], Judgement, changing types aswell. It also easily defeats the [[Pokédex holder]]s of [[Johto]] without much effort. When it is at the Mystri Stage in the Sinjoh Ruins, it is able to summon a swarm of {{p|Unown}} and create {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.
