&#039;&#039;&#039;Yveltal&#039;&#039;&#039; (ya-vall-Tall) ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: &#039;&#039;&#039;イベルタル&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Yveltal&#039;&#039;) is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Xerneas}}, it was the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013 as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon Y}}, appearing on the boxart. It is a member of the [[aura trio]] with {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Zygarde}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Biology==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Yveltal Cocoon.png|thumb|left|250px|Yveltal in its cocoon form]]&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal is a large Pokémon with both avian and draconic traits. The back of its body is black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a thin, antenna-like growth behind each eye. A feathery gray ruff encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Its wings each have three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It has small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backwards. Its tail is similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal has the power to absorb life energy by spreading its wings and tailfeathers. When it reaches the end of its lifespan, it steals the life energy of everything around it and then transforms into a cocoon to sleep. Yveltal is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Oblivion Wing}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the anime==&lt;br /&gt;
===In the main series===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Yveltal anime.png|thumb|250px|Yveltal in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]&lt;br /&gt;
====Major appearances====&lt;br /&gt;
=====[[Yveltal (M17)]]=====&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal debuted in &#039;&#039;[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]&#039;&#039;. It was first seen in a flashback destroying the [[Allearth Forest]] before transforming into a cocoon and slumbering. Years later, it reawakened and attempted to destroy the Allearth Forest again, turning [[Argus Steel|Argus]] and [[Millis Steel]], [[Merilyn]], [[Riot]], and [[Ash&#039;s Pikachu]] to stone in the process. It was then calmed by {{OBP|Xerneas|M17}}&#039;s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and flew away peacefully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Other=====&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal made its main series debut in &#039;&#039;[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]&#039;&#039; during a flashback, where it unleashed trouble on a kingdom, turning people and Pokémon to stone such as [[Aila]]. Its attack prompted {{OBP|Jan|XYS05}} to embark on a quest to find {{p|Xerneas}} and have it restore the land and Aila.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Minor appearances====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In Pokémon Generations===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Yveltal PG.png|thumb|250px|Yveltal in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
An Yveltal appeared in &#039;&#039;[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]&#039;&#039;, where [[Team Flare]] captured it so they could begin the next phase of their plans, which they titled &amp;quot;Project Y&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
{{-}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the manga==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Malva Yveltal Adventures.png|thumb|160px|Yveltal in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Malva Yveltal cocoon form Adventures.png|thumb|left|160px|Yveltal in its cocoon form in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
===In the Let&#039;s Play the Pokémon Card Game XY! manga===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Hiroshi Uratane|Hiroshi]] used a Yveltal in [[Let&#039;s Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In the movie adaptations===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Yveltal (M17)}}&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first &#039;&#039;[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]&#039;&#039; {{pkmn|movie}}, &#039;&#039;[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal debuted in [[PS549]], alongside [[Xerxer|Xerneas]]. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant cocoon and tree states, which are being sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Yveltal was later captured by [[Malva]], who revealed that it had been resting in the ground under the tree form Xerneas the entire time. In &#039;&#039;[[PAXY38|Xerneas Gives]]&#039;&#039;, both Yveltal and Xerneas returned to their dormant states once again, choosing to do so in order to prevent [[Lysandre]] from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the TCG==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Yveltal (TCG)}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Other appearances==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal sometimes appears in the background of the [[Prism Tower (stage)|Prism Tower]] stage.&lt;br /&gt;
====Trophy information====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NA&#039;&#039;&#039;: &#039;&#039;With its wings spread wide, this Legendary Pokémon looks just like the letter Y. Since its name also starts with the same letter, it&#039;s difficult to imagine a more appropriate mascot for Pokémon Y. Apparently, when Yveltal&#039;s life comes to an end, it will absorb the life force of all living things— here&#039;s to a long and healthy life! &#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Yveltal has the same stat distribution as {{p|Xerneas}}.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yveltal, along with Xerneas, was designed by art designers [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. Initial design for the two Legendary Pokémon was started by Sugimori, but he encountered &amp;quot;[[wp:Writer&#039;s block|artist&#039;s block]]&amp;quot;, having a hard time coming up with concepts. For the first time, he gave the work over to another designer, Ohmura. Ohmura furthered the designs, after which Sugimori resumed to finish them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got &#039;artist&#039;s block&#039; during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Origin===&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal&#039;s appearance is based on an avian in the shape of the letter Y, and as such has many similarities to the {{wp|long-tailed widowbird}}. It may be based on any number of figures from mythology, such as the Celtic death-goddess {{wp|Morrigan}}, which often takes the form of a raven, or Norse mythological figures such as {{wp|Hræsvelgr}}, which takes the form of an eagle and sits at the end of the world, or the Hawk {{wp|Veðrfölnir and eagle|Veðrfölnir or the unnamed eagle}} that resides at the top of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}}. Yveltal also may draw inspiration from {{wp|carrion}} birds such as {{wp|Carrion Crow|crows}} and {{wp|vulture}}s. Additionally, it bears a striking resemblance to a species of fungus known as &amp;quot;{{wp|Clathrus archeri|devil&#039;s fingers}}.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Name origin====&lt;br /&gt;
Yveltal comes from the letter {{wp|Y}}. It may also be derived from &#039;&#039;[[wiktionary:yvel|yvel]]&#039;&#039; (a {{wp|Middle English}} spelling of &#039;&#039;{{wp|evil}}&#039;&#039;) and &#039;&#039;{{wp|quetzal}}&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;{{wp|talon}}&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Arceus&#039;&#039;&#039; (are-COOS) (Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;アルセウス&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Arceus&#039;&#039;) is a major character who appeared in &#039;&#039;[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers}}&lt;br /&gt;
==In the movies==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arceus Plates.png|thumb|left|250px|Arceus&#039;s Plates]]&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of years in the past, when the world was threatened by a meteor, Arceus summoned all of its power and tackled the massive rock, destroying it. However, in the process Arceus lost the sixteen [[Plate]]s that gave it life and began to die. At this time [[Damos]] discovered the dying Pokémon, then found one of the missing Plates and returned it, giving Arceus strength to pull back the others and thus fully recover. In gratitude for Damos&#039;s actions, Arceus detached five of its Plates and formed the [[Jewel of Life]], which it loaned to him in order to make the desolate wasteland of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus did, however, stipulate that the Jewel of Life had to be returned. The date was the next solar eclipse &amp;amp;ndash; an event that was a harbinger of Arceus&#039;s appearance &amp;amp;ndash; but when Arceus appeared to reclaim the Jewel, Damos viciously attacked it with the intent to kill, much to its abject shock. Arceus managed to fight off the attack and counter, killing Damos, then it went into a deep sleep, vowing to {{m|Judgment|judge}} humanity when it next appeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the present day, Arceus&#039;s imminent awakening caused distortions in both the Spatial World and the Temporal World. Therefore, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}}, believing that the other had invaded its territory, battled over [[Alamos Town]], thus setting off the events of &#039;&#039;[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]&#039;&#039;. This battle caused imbalances in time and space that had to be corrected in the [[Reverse World]] guarded by {{mov|Giratina}}, causing pollution in that world in the process and setting off the events of &#039;&#039;[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arceus M12 Multitype.png|thumb|250px|Multitype activated]]&lt;br /&gt;
Its next appearance came in the era of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, during which it appeared in Michina Town and began passing down its Judgment to destroy the area. [[Sheena]] attempted to return the Jewel of Life in this era but inadvertently gave it a fake (which had been created to further prevent it from retaking the real Jewel), making it even angrier. When the [[creation trio]] appeared to protect the world from Arceus, Palkia restrained it while Dialga sent the heroes [[Time travel|back in time]] to Damos&#039;s betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the ancient past, the group discovered that Damos was controlled by another man, [[Marcus]], who had grown bitter with his belief that returning the Jewel of Life to Arceus would result in Michina Town once again becoming desolate and wished to destroy it to prevent such events, making them realize that the legend of Damos&#039;s betrayal was a lie. By manipulating Sheena, Marcus nearly succeeded in killing Arceus and permanently altering the fabric of space-time (nearly destroying Ash and all of the other heroes except Damos in the process). Fortunately, Damos managed to reach the last bit of life in Arceus&#039;s heart, giving it enough strength to reabsorb the Jewel of Life from Ash, saving it from certain death. It then revived the heroes, and they returned to the future. Although Arceus was still furious when they returned, the past finally caught up with the present, and it remembered Ash&#039;s role in saving its life, thus soothing its rage and, as it later remarked, making it feel part of the world Ash and the others lived in for the &amp;quot;first time&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality and characteristics===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Featured Pokémon M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus and the creation trio]]&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus was a trusting Pokémon to any individual who was willing to join forces with it, as demonstrated with [[Damos]]. However, after Damos betrayed Arceus due to being hypnotized by [[Marcus]], a fact that Arceus was unaware of, it became deeply disillusioned and angry. Eventually, Arceus began to express open hostility towards [[human]]kind, even mercilessly attacking {{mov|Dialga}}, {{mov|Palkia}}, and {{mov|Giratina}} when they opposed it and tried to protect humans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These personality traits persisted until {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} went back in time and ultimately stopped Marcus from engineering Damos&#039;s betrayal. With the past altered, Damos and Ash managed to bond with Arceus when they both tried to return the Jewel of Life. Though Arceus continued to attack when Ash and the others returned to their own time, their involvement in these events soon led to the restoration of Arceus&#039;s original personality once it recalled its new past experience.&lt;br /&gt;

==In the manga==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arceus M12 manga.png|thumb|200px|Arceus in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga]]&lt;br /&gt;
===In the movie adaptations===&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus appears in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|manga adaptation}} of the twelfth movie, where it played the same role as it did in the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the TCG==&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus is featured in the TCG. The following is a list of cards featuring Arceus.&lt;br /&gt;
{{cardlist/header|Arceus|Colorless|char=yes}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Arceus&#039;s Plates appear as a single color and are brick-shaped in the games, but in the movie, they are coffin-shaped and glow in rainbow colors. However, in the episode &#039;&#039;[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]&#039;&#039;, they appear as they do in the games.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to ADR director [[Tom Wayland]], Arceus was originally going to be voiced by actor {{wp|Vincent D&#039;Onofrio}} of &#039;&#039;{{wp|Full Metal Jacket}}&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;{{wp|Men in Black (film)|Men in Black}}&#039;&#039; fame. However, before his recording session, there were difficulties with D&#039;Onofrio&#039;s agent and he was unable to record for the movie. After re-auditioning, [[Tom Wayland]] himself was chosen to voice Arceus instead.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Arceus&#039;&#039;&#039; (Japanese: &#039;&#039;&#039;アルセウス&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Arceus&#039;&#039;) is a major character who appeared in &#039;&#039;[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoilers}}&lt;br /&gt;
==In the movies==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arceus Plates.png|thumb|left|250px|Arceus&#039;s Plates]]&lt;br /&gt;
Thousands of years in the past, when the world was threatened by a meteor, Arceus summoned all of its power and tackled the massive rock, destroying it. However, in the process Arceus lost the sixteen [[Plate]]s that gave it life and began to die. At this time [[Damos]] discovered the dying Pokémon, then found one of the missing Plates and returned it, giving Arceus strength to pull back the others and thus fully recover. In gratitude for Damos&#039;s actions, Arceus detached five of its Plates and formed the [[Jewel of Life]], which it loaned to him in order to make the desolate wasteland of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus did, however, stipulate that the Jewel of Life had to be returned. The date was the next solar eclipse &amp;amp;ndash; an event that was a harbinger of Arceus&#039;s appearance &amp;amp;ndash; but when Arceus appeared to reclaim the Jewel, Damos viciously attacked it with the intent to kill, much to its abject shock. Arceus managed to fight off the attack and counter, killing Damos, then it went into a deep sleep, vowing to {{m|Judgment|judge}} humanity when it next appeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the present day, Arceus&#039;s imminent awakening caused distortions in both the Spatial World and the Temporal World. Therefore, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}}, believing that the other had invaded its territory, battled over [[Alamos Town]], thus setting off the events of &#039;&#039;[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]&#039;&#039;. This battle caused imbalances in time and space that had to be corrected in the [[Reverse World]] guarded by {{mov|Giratina}}, causing pollution in that world in the process and setting off the events of &#039;&#039;[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arceus M12 Multitype.png|thumb|250px|Multitype activated]]&lt;br /&gt;
Its next appearance came in the era of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, during which it appeared in Michina Town and began passing down its Judgment to destroy the area. [[Sheena]] attempted to return the Jewel of Life in this era but inadvertently gave it a fake (which had been created to further prevent it from retaking the real Jewel), making it even angrier. When the [[creation trio]] appeared to protect the world from Arceus, Palkia restrained it while Dialga sent the heroes [[Time travel|back in time]] to Damos&#039;s betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the ancient past, the group discovered that Damos was controlled by another man, [[Marcus]], who had grown bitter with his belief that returning the Jewel of Life to Arceus would result in Michina Town once again becoming desolate and wished to destroy it to prevent such events, making them realize that the legend of Damos&#039;s betrayal was a lie. By manipulating Sheena, Marcus nearly succeeded in killing Arceus and permanently altering the fabric of space-time (nearly destroying Ash and all of the other heroes except Damos in the process). Fortunately, Damos managed to reach the last bit of life in Arceus&#039;s heart, giving it enough strength to reabsorb the Jewel of Life from Ash, saving it from certain death. It then revived the heroes, and they returned to the future. Although Arceus was still furious when they returned, the past finally caught up with the present, and it remembered Ash&#039;s role in saving its life, thus soothing its rage and, as it later remarked, making it feel part of the world Ash and the others lived in for the &amp;quot;first time&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality and characteristics===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Featured Pokémon M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus and the creation trio]]&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus was a trusting Pokémon to any individual who was willing to join forces with it, as demonstrated with [[Damos]]. However, after Damos betrayed Arceus due to being hypnotized by [[Marcus]], a fact that Arceus was unaware of, it became deeply disillusioned and angry. Eventually, Arceus began to express open hostility towards [[human]]kind, even mercilessly attacking {{mov|Dialga}}, {{mov|Palkia}}, and {{mov|Giratina}} when they opposed it and tried to protect humans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These personality traits persisted until {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} went back in time and ultimately stopped Marcus from engineering Damos&#039;s betrayal. With the past altered, Damos and Ash managed to bond with Arceus when they both tried to return the Jewel of Life. Though Arceus continued to attack when Ash and the others returned to their own time, their involvement in these events soon led to the restoration of Arceus&#039;s original personality once it recalled its new past experience.&lt;br /&gt;

==In the manga==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arceus M12 manga.png|thumb|200px|Arceus in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}} manga]]&lt;br /&gt;
===In the movie adaptations===&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus appears in the {{ma|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|manga adaptation}} of the twelfth movie, where it played the same role as it did in the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the TCG==&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus is featured in the TCG. The following is a list of cards featuring Arceus.&lt;br /&gt;
{{cardlist/header|Arceus|Colorless|char=yes}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{cardlist/entry|cardname=[[Arceus (DP Promo 50)|Arceus]]|type=Colorless|enset=DP Black Star Promos|ennum=DP50|jpset=DPt-P Promotional cards|jpnum=041/DPt-P|jpset2=Movie Commemoration Random Pack|jpnum2=020/022|jpset3=Movie Commemoration Random Pack|jpnum3=021/022|jpset4=Movie Commemoration Random Pack|jpnum4=022/022|jpset5=Unnumbered Promotional cards}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{cardlist/footer|Colorless}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
* Arceus&#039;s Plates appear as a single color and are brick-shaped in the games, but in the movie, they are coffin-shaped and glow in rainbow colors. However, in the episode &#039;&#039;[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]&#039;&#039;, they appear as they do in the games.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to ADR director [[Tom Wayland]], Arceus was originally going to be voiced by actor {{wp|Vincent D&#039;Onofrio}} of &#039;&#039;{{wp|Full Metal Jacket}}&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;{{wp|Men in Black (film)|Men in Black}}&#039;&#039; fame. However, before his recording session, there were difficulties with D&#039;Onofrio&#039;s agent and he was unable to record for the movie. After re-auditioning, [[Tom Wayland]] himself was chosen to voice Arceus instead.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Arceus&#039;&#039;&#039; (ar-COOS)([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: &#039;&#039;&#039;アルセウス&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;Arceus&#039;&#039;) is a {{type|Normal}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Arceus will [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|change type]] when it is holding a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus is known as &amp;quot;The Original One&amp;quot;, as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[creation trio]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[trio master]] of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Biology==&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus is a white equine resembling a {{wp|qilin}} or {{wp|centaur}} with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck&#039;s underside that is colored white like much of the body. Arceus 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 its current type, which depends on the [[plate]] or [[Z-Crystal| type-specific Z-Crystal]] that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus&#039;s underbelly resumes past Arceus&#039;s waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus&#039;s tail is fairly like its mane in terms of shape and coloration. According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[lake guardians]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}; and the [[creation trio]] {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed, make certain things vanish into thin air, or to halt time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In &#039;&#039;[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]&#039;&#039;, it is said to &amp;quot;feed&amp;quot; off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Judgment}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In the anime==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arceus M12.png|thumb|250px|Arceus in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]&lt;br /&gt;

====[[Arceus (M12)]]====&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus debuted in &#039;&#039;[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]&#039;&#039;. It was angry at the people of [[Michina Town]] for [[Damos]]&#039;s unwitting betrayal of it in ancient times, and so it attempted to destroy the land. When {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Sheena]] were teleported by {{mov|Dialga}} to ancient times, they directly influenced the event, changing the future for the better so that Arceus will stop its destruction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Other====&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus made a cameo appearance in &#039;&#039;[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]&#039;&#039;. Following the devastating incident at [[Dahara City]], Ash, his friends, [[Baraz]], [[Meray]], and {{an|Hoopa}} saw it floating in the sky before it soared away.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Other appearances==&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon in game. It uses {{m|Gravity}} to produce a shockwave that brings opponents downwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Trophy information====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Sinnoh myths#The Original Story|A Pokémon said to have hatched from an egg that appeared from nothing.

Arceus was originally intended to appear in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} in the [[Hall of Origin]] when summoned using an [[event item]] called the [[Azure Flute]]. However, the Azure Flute was never distributed, although the text seen when receiving the 20th Anniversary Arceus states that Arceus could first be obtained in Diamond and Pearl in the Hall of Origin.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--Please do not add trivia referring to the episode of House which mentioned Arceus. That belongs on the page &amp;quot;List of references to Pokémon in popular culture&amp;quot;, not here.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:493-Unknown.png|thumb|???-type Arceus]]&lt;br /&gt;
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, there are sprites for ???-type Arceus, but this is not obtainable without [[cheating]], as there is no ??? [[Plate]].&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the {{pkmn|anime}} [[dub]]&#039;s then-voice director [[Tom Wayland]], the dub chose to pronounce Arceus with {{wp|Hard and soft C|a hard &#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039; instead of a soft &#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039;}} due to concerns over the latter pronunciation&#039;s potential {{wp|arse|implications}} in British English-speaking territories.&lt;br /&gt;
* Arceus has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.&lt;br /&gt;
** Arceus also has the highest base stat total of all [[Mythical Pokémon]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Arceus was the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 720 and the only Pokémon that is the last of its [[generation]] in National Pokédex order that does not have a base stat total of 600.&lt;br /&gt;
* Arceus is the only event-exclusive [[trio master]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Arceus is also the only trio master of two different trios, being the master of both the [[lake guardians]] and the [[creation trio]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In its debut generation of [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to legitimately give Arceus more than 100 [[EV]]s in any stat, since it was only ever distributed at [[level]] 100. Prior to Generation V, level 100 Pokémon could not gain EVs through battling since they could not gain [[experience]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Arceus is the only pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon to never officially receive a [[List of Pokémon by Diamond &amp;amp; Pearl Battle Pokédex number|DPBP number]]. {{p|Kadabra}}, which was not released as a TCG card during the DPBP era, is assumed to be #070, as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} are #069 and #071, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
* Arceus received the most votes of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|promotion]] poll in both the Japanese poll and the international (non-Japanese and non-Korean) poll.&lt;br /&gt;
* Prior to [[Generation VII]], Arceus was classified by Pokédex color sorting as gray.&lt;br /&gt;
* In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Arceus can be encountered without use of the [[Azure Flute]] by a combination of [[Tweaking]] and the [[Pal Park Retire glitch]]. In addition, Arceus can be encountered an unlimited amount of times with this method, unlike {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.&lt;br /&gt;
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as the player can no longer freely move in the &amp;quot;void&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Origin===&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. Arceus&#039;s stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly {{wp|Apis (deity)|Apis}}. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a {{wp|horse}} or {{wp|qilin}}. The arc on its back may be inspired by the {{wp|Dharmachakra}}, or the {{wp|Bhavacakra}}, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in {{wp|Hinduism}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conception of the first god might be influenced by the {{wp|Shinto}} gods {{wp|Kuninotokotachi}} and {{wp|Amenominakanushi}}, who summoned {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}} to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the {{wp|qilin}}, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the {{wp|world egg}}, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the {{wp|bodhisattva}} {{wp|Avalokiteśvara}}, who, in {{wp|Buddhism}}, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus&#039;s Pokédex entry) or in a {{wp|Avalokiteśvara#Tibetan Buddhist beliefs|white, four-armed manifestation}} (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Name origin====&lt;br /&gt;
Arceus may be a combination of &#039;&#039;[[wiktionary:arch-|arch-]]&#039;&#039; (most extreme, highest), &#039;&#039;{{wp|archon}}&#039;&#039; (a Greek word that means &amp;quot;ruler&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;lord&amp;quot;), &#039;&#039;[[wiktionary:arcanus|arcanus]]&#039;&#039; (Latin for &#039;&#039;secret, mystery&#039;&#039;), &#039;&#039;archaic&#039;&#039; (ancient), αρχή &#039;&#039;arkhē&#039;&#039; (Greek for &#039;&#039;beginning&#039;&#039;), or &#039;&#039;archetypus&#039;&#039; (Latin for &#039;&#039;original&#039;&#039;), and &#039;&#039;{{wp|deus}}&#039;&#039; (Latin for &#039;&#039;god&#039;&#039;). It may also derive from &#039;&#039;[[wiktionary:aureus|aureus]]&#039;&#039; (golden, in reference to its hooves and wheel), &#039;&#039;[[wiktionary:arc|arc]]&#039;&#039; (round or ring), &#039;&#039;arcessere&#039;&#039; (Latin for &#039;&#039;to summon&#039;&#039;), or &#039;&#039;{{wp|Archeus}}&#039;&#039; (an aspect of the astral plane). It may also be a reference to Arcesius, the king of Ithaca mentioned in the Odyssey that was a son of Zeus.&lt;br /&gt;
