'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]].


It is currently the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not "officially" a Pokémon recognized by Nintendo until February 2009, the year of its debut movie, appearing as a feature in the March issue of [[CoroCoro]].

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the [[Pokémon universe]] and the [[lake trio|lake]] and [[dragon trio]]s. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]].

Due to special coding in place on this page to illustrate Arceus's wildcard ability, {{a|Multitype}}, all type-themed appearances will display Arceus as if it {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 18}}|1=were not holding a [[plate]]|0=has been [[cheating|hacked]]|were holding the [[{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 18}}|2=Fist|3=Sky|4=Toxic|5=Earth|6=Stone|7=Insect|8=Spooky|9=Iron|10=Flame|11=Splash|12=Meadow|13=Zap|14=Mind|15=Icicle|16=Draco|17=Dread}} Plate]]}}, therefore being a{{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 18}}|13|15=n}} {{type2|{{arceustype}}}}. This does not affect anything besides which sprites are shown, which moves are noted as [[STAB]] and the type effectiveness entry which is unhidden.

==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====
{{ContentGrid/end}}
Arceus is genderless.


====Special abilities====

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}}.

===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).

Happy Birthday, Bulbapedia!
Celebrating 20 years of Pokémon knowledge—brought by fans, for fans

Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia about Pokémon to which anyone can contribute. Since its launch 20 years ago today on February 14, 2005, it has grown to become one of the largest Pokémon resources on the internet. As part of Bulbagarden, this ever-growing wiki is supported by the Bulbagarden Archives, Bulbanews, the Bulbagarden forums, and the Bulbagarden Discord. You're welcome to browse for a while, if you wish, or make an account to start editing pages.

We have 53,856 articles on a range of Pokémon-related topics.

If you have any questions, first see the FAQ page. If this doesn't help, find an active staff member. They'll point you in the right direction.

Message from the Editor
September 20 043

Hello! This message is for all Nintendo fans out there.

September 20th starts Cross-Wiki Week! What is Cross-Wiki Week? It's an annual event hosted by the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance to encourage collaboration across all of our NIWA wiki partners! This 10-day event (spanning two weekends) aims for editors to contribute to franchises outside of their normal activity. For full details, visit the official event page here.

We encourage everyone to give it a try, even if it's only a few edits!

For participating editors:

  • When trying out a new wiki, be sure to check their policies and guidelines on how to help.
  • Use the hashtag #cww in your edit summaries for a chance to win a Nintendo eShop card! Two winners will be drawn.

For those new to Bulbapedia, please check out the Cross-Wiki Week landing page, the Editor's Hub, and the Bulletin Board for ways to help out. We look forward to seeing the expertise you bring to our Pokémon encyclopedia.

This year, the primary focus is on editing wikis you don't usually edit. Make sure to branch out! With many recent game releases and re-releases on Nintendo Switch Online, this is a great time to ensure those smaller franchises get the attention they deserve.

Good luck and happy editing!

Maverick Nate
Editor-in-Chief, Bulbapedia
