Arceus (Japanese: アルセウス Arseus) is the last Legendary Pokémon of Generation IV and the final Pokémon in the National Pokédex as of that generation.

Arceus is classified as the "Creation Pokémon", and is said to be the creator of the Pokémon universe. Dialga and Palkia are said to be alter-egos of Arceus, and it also created Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.

This is the fourth event legendary Pokémon, which can only be received during a Pokémon event or a Nintendo event.

Biology

Physiology

Arceus resembles a white horse with a black underside, black face, gold hooves and gold cross in the middle of its body.

Arceus has been described as the Pokémon who created the Pokémon universe, something that breaks the long-standing theory that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon.

Gender differences

Arceus is genderless.

Special abilities

While Arceus may be a pure Normal-type, due to Arceus's Multi-Type ability allows for its type to change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special plate it holds.

Arceus's signature move, Judgment Pebble, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arseus is holding.

Arceus is rumored to live at the Beginning Dimension.
