As of November 2009, Nintendo released a one of a kind Arceus to the USA. It can be said that Arceus is arguably the most powerful Pokémon since its the creator of all Pokémon and its ability to overpower three extremely powerful legendary Pokémon (Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina.)Īrceus first appeared in the Generation IV games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl being a Legendary Pokémon. The exception to this is Seismic Toss, although it can be presumed that it can lift its foes with telekinesis. It can learn nearly every move, excluding ones that require the use of arms or hands.
It is also capable of learning Draco Meteor if given the Draco Plate. Its balanced stats surpasses Mew's, Celebi's, Jirachi's, Manaphy's, and even Victini's. Arceus can also easily hold off Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga all at the same time, making it incredibly powerful and it can speak using telepathy.
It has also been stated that Arceus created the Legendary Titans (otherwise known as the Dragon Trio) Dialga, Palkia, and surprisingly Giratina, as well as the Lake Guardian Trio (also known as the Lake Spirits) Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. The "1,000" arms could be Arceus's move "Judgement" but this is still unknown. Generation VI introduced Fairy type, so Arceus can be a Fairy Type upon having Pixie Plate or Fairium Z.Īccording to the Pokédex, Arceus in mythology is said to have shaped the Universe with its "1,000" arms, though, due to Arceus not actually having any arms, it can safely be assumed that the "1,000 arms" are metaphorical. For example, holding the Flame Plate makes it the Fire-Type, while holding a Waterium Z will make it a Water-Type. Multitype allows Arceus to change its type based on whichever plate or type-specific Z-Crystal it is currently holding. It is shown with other colors of the wheel, though always being different.Īrceus has the ability Multitype, which is an ability exclusive only to this Pokémon. Arceus will change color as well as type with whatever type of plate it is holding. It's appearance also bears some resemblance to a llama. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.Īrceus looks like a fusion of Palkia and Dialga, resembling a wingless dragon of some sort. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist, the underside of Arceus's limbs also being gray in coloration, and with extrusions at the tops of the legs. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's current type. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. Its mane is quite long, jutting away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes.Īrceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its body color is white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Arceus is an equine being similar to a Qilin.
