| '''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.
| |
| | |
| Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the universe and [[Palkia (Pokémon)|Palkia]], [[Dialga (Pokémon)|Dialga]], and the [[lake trio]]. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] (also known as The Key of Space and Time).
| |
| Arceus has not yet been officially revealed.
| |
| | |
| =Biology=
| |
| ==Physiology==
| |
| Arceus is an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or [[wp:qilin|qilin]]. Its body is white, has 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. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color based on Arceus' current type.
| |
| | |
| ===Gender differences===
| |
| Arceus is genderless, as it is the only one of its species.
| |
| | |
| ===Special abilities===
| |
| Acording to legend, Arceus created the universe and 5 legendary Pokémon, Palkia, Dialga and the [[lake trio]].
| |
| | |
| While Arceus may be a pure {{type2|Normal}}, due to Arceus's Multitype 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, {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding. Arceus also has the ability to use several attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}.
| |
| | |
| ==Behavior==
| |
| ==Habitat==
| |
| Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at the Spear Pillar.

| [[Image:Spr 4d 493-???.png|thumb|right|Sprite for ???-type Arceus]]
| |
| *At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture.
| |
| *By statistical average, Arceus is the strongest Pokémon yet.
| |
| *Because of Arceus' god-like nature and growing fan base, he has been dubbed by fans to be the "God of Pokémon." This intrest has even led to the creation of joke religions focused on the worship of Arceus.
| |
| *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.
| |
| *Although Arceus is considered the Creation Pokémon, it cannot learn all of the TMs and HMs like {{p|Mew}} can.
| |
| *Even though it is said that it created the world with its thousand arms, it cannot learn any TMs nor HMs that uses arms or punches.
| |
| *According to some, Arceus is catchable in the North America and European versions of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] with the help of the [[Tweaking]] [[glitch]]; however, this has yet to be confirmed.
| |
| *Although Nintendo is attempting to keep Arceus secret, it is possible for Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, to be used through {{m|Metronome}}, thus potentially revealing the existence of Arceus to otherwise unaware fans.
| |
| *Normal-type Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
| |
| * It is possible that the programmers of Game Freak may have programmmed a ??? type Arceus into the game to prevent game crashes. A code patcher can figure out how to change a Pokémon's type. It is possible that the programmers might have figured that someone would tamper with Arceus's type, and would be able to changed it to a ??? type. If changed to a ???-type, there wouldn't be a sprite for it. The game would crash because it would try loading data that does not exist.
| |
| ==Origin==
| |
| Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the [[wp:Qilin|Qilin]]. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the [[wp:Pangu|Pangu]], the Chinese creation deity.
| |
| ===Name origin===
| |
| Arceus' 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' name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'' meaning the same thing. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original).
