| '''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 recognized by Nintendo until February, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was later revealed by the [[Pokémon.com|official site]] on August 3rd, 2009, making all Pokémon in the games officially revealed.
| |
|
| |
| Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the [[Pokémon universe]] and the [[lake guardians]] and the [[dragon trio]]. The only legitimate way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] or through a Nintendo event.
| |
|
| |
| ==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 guardians]].
| |
|
| |
| 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}}.
| |
|
| |
| Arceus is the only non-Dragon type Pokémon other than Smeargle who can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}, although it must become a {{type2|Dragon}} (by holding a {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate}}) in order to learn it.
| |
|
| |
| ===Behavior===
| |
|
| |
| ===Habitat===
| |
| Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].
| |
|
| |
| ===Diet===
| |
| It is possible that it does not eat at all given its exceptional form of existence and the fact that it has no visible mouth.

|
| |
| ==In the anime==
| |
| {{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] 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 a future episode, Cyrus wraps {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} in a [[Red Chain|ring]] that's similar to the one that surrounds Arceus' own body.
| |
|
| |
| ==In the manga==
| |
| Arceus appears as a central character in the Movie 12 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 [[Michīna]] rich and fertile. Damos then betrayed Arceus, and it has been outraged ever since.
| |
|
| |
| ==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 {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion set.

| [[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown.png|thumb|right|Normal-color sprite for {{type2|???}} Arceus]][[Image:Spr 4p 493-Unknown s.png|thumb|right|{{Pkmn2|Shiny}} 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 up to level 100 in {{game|Platinum}}. It is, however, still the highest level {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon available for capture.
| |
| * Arceus's English name has had three different pronunciations. Before it was officially revealed, fans pronounced it as "AR-see-oos", as does [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Then, a promotional trailer for ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' pronounced it as "Ar-SAY-us". Its official pronunciation was then revealed in a [[Pokémon.com]] mailbag as "ARK-ee-us".
| |
| * 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.
| |
| ** In its base form, Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
| |
| * 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, nor can it learn hand and arm based moves such as the elemental punches.
| |
| * Holding the {{DL|Plate|Sky Plate}}, Arceus is the only Pokémon able to become a pure {{type2|Flying}} outside of battle (other Pokémon can do so 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.
| |
| * {{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.
| |
| * Arceus is the only [[trio master]] not catchable by typical in-game mechanics, instead needing an event item (the [[Azure Flute]]) to be catchable in-game.
| |
| ** Furthermore, Arceus is the only trio master of two [[Lake guardians|different]] [[Dragon trio|trios]].
| |
| * Arceus is the only Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond & Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]], although it or one of its forms probably would have been assigned DPBP#532 had that system continued to be used.
| |
| * The ring around Arceus's body appears to have a malevolent counterpart in the embodiment of the [[Red Chain]], as a red version of it is shown to ring Dialga and Palkia around the middle when [[Cyrus]] takes control of them in [[DP152]].
| |
| * The Arceus event that takes place in HeartGold and SoulSilver includes real life pictures in the game. This is a first for an event within a game and a first in the Pokémon games franchise.
| |
| * Arceus can learn all of the [[HM]] moves, including ones which no longer have that status.
| |
| ===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''. Or Arceus's name which was pronounced as (Arh-keus) maybe a combination of "Arch" and a mispronounced word "Chaos".

| 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).
