Rahrahbahb: /* Back Sprites */

I think this should serve us well. I just gotta make some tweaks and then we gotta get all of the sprites. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:23, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

== Problem! ==

Okay, it works fine for Pokémon with numbers lower than 400. After that, the MS sprites are .png. That's a problem... unless we can make it so that if ndex < 400, it's .gif, and ndex > 400 it's .png? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
:No, I'm not planning on cheating out of this one. I didn't realize the person who finished broke the standardization so blatantly. I'll upload the remainder as .gif. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 07:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

== Too soon? ==
Wouldn't it be better to actually upload the sprites before putting the template on the Pokémon pages? Currently, most usages of this template are full of red links. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 20:56, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
:I'll be uploading the rest of the images soon. The current G/S ones are not correctly colored, the few that are there at least. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 13:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

== Animated icons ==

I added a way to include an animated icon instead of the still one. At the end of where you are defining variables, just type:
<nowiki>animated=1|</nowiki>
For example:

{{Sprite|
type=psychic|
gen=4|
gender=none|
ndex=480|
name=Uxie|
animated=1|
}}

The only problem is that the animated icon must be uploaded with the name of:
Ani###MS.gif
Where ### is the Pokémon's National Dex number. The icons for Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf have already been uploaded by me. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|Contribs]][[Image:Ani480MS.gif]] 01:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

== Remember!! ==

Remember to set the Gender to "None", instead of both. Both is only for Pokémon that actually have a gender difference - none goes for Male and Female only Pokémon too. Putting both, male or female sets a "m" or "f" next to the filename and such, so even if the D/P sprite is uploaded, it won't show up. Just wanted to put this up here.

== Green ==

Please relabel "Green" as "Red/Green (J)" or something. I'd do it myself but can't for the life of me figure out how to edit this template. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 12:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
:Did so. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

== R&S? ==

There seem to be an awful shortage of R&S Sprites. As they all appear to just be inanimate Emerald Sprites, they can't be that hard to get, can they? Maybe someone could start on that? I would myself, but I'd probably be breaking some rule. --[[User:Vladek|Vladek]]

== Trozei? ==

I dunno if the Trozei sprites should be in this... they don't really ''fit'' with the rest of them, which are main series sprites. Plus, the placement... um, is not good. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Yea, if we even are going to have them, they should be placed differently in the template. --[[Image:Spr 3e 059.gif|70px]][[Image:Spr 3e 132.gif]]'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Mission Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Games|2]]''' [[Image:Trozeiani025.gif]] 01:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:::Well, remember, not everything's available in Pinball/RS, and the means of showing the MD/2 sprites would make it difficult... plus it'd be an issue to include all of those on the same line if they're in different generations and stuff. Maybe adding a (gamename) parameter to the template for each game, then on "no" have "This Pokémon did not appear in (game name)", and on yes, have the sprite.

One of them, of course, would get a colspan of 2, just to keep consistency with the rest of the table. I would, however, definitely say we shouldn't include the side game series with the main, generation-driven subtemplates, since these games aren't ''totally'' dependent on their generation of release (Pinball RS has Totodile and Cyndaquil, but no Feraligatr or Typhlosion). We'll likely have to dip into the if-testers... or something, I dunno. Maybe if we mess around enough we can make a side-series subtemplate for it, at the very least. Yes? No?

:Gah! I've just realised that the Pinball games would be even more complicated since all Pokémon in the game's dex get a portrait but those only available through evolution don't get a sprite.
:With that said, Trozei and Mystery Dungeon are easy since they have equal sprites for all 386.

::Hmm. So we'll have to do something special there. Ah well. We can figure it out soon.

:::I've discovered one saving grace: All the Pokémon that appear in both Pinball games do not change whether they have a sprite or not, despite a lot more middle evolutions getting one in Pinball RS.

== Stadium Artwork ==

Should this go here or side game info? We do need it bcuz then we'll be stuck with Gen IV sprites in Stadium party tables for Gym Leaders--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 20:24, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

== Johto and Hoenn ==

The Johto and Hoenn Pokémon sprites are exactly the same in FireRed and in Ruby, with the only exception of Teddyursa and Deoxys. Why doesn't the template show the same Ruby sprites for both? We could save a lot of time uploading only sprites for 1 game instead of 2. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 20:06, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Is there any particular reason why the {{V2|Yellow}} sprites are .gifs and not .pngs? [[Santa Claus|♥]][[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[wp:Christmas|Merry Christmas!]]) 23:47 12/19/2008
:Because from the page they were downloaded, they were in the GIF format and the lazy guy who uploaded them to the archives didn't took the time to reverse them (because they are facing right instead of left) nor took the time to change the format to PNG.

== HOLD IT! ==

There appears to be a problem with the template, as the Platinum sprites CLEARLY link to the DP sprites instead. Can someone who can make sense of the coding edit it? Arigato Gosaimas! '''[[User:Optimatum|Θρtιmαtum]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]] 15:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== Overworld sprites ==

Is it better to make a new template for that or not? There have been some in the past, but what with a veritable flood of them coming in the next couple months, it would be a good idea to know what we're gonna do. If just add them to the main template, it'll mess up the overall style it has now. [[User:Aura-Knight|Aura-Knight]] 13:40, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

== B/W sprites with different formes ==

I am pretty sure this is already being made but we need to fix the template so that the B/W Pokémon sprites with formes can be put in. - [[User:050294|050294]] 07:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

== Request for aesthetic modification? ==

Oh of the things that irks me about this template is the fact that if a Pokémon isn't in a Gen, the table repeated tells you "not in this Gen," "not in this Gen," "not in this Gen." Is there any way to modify this template to appear more like the [[template:availability]] and [[template:dex]] templates? Because I'm looking at [[Koaruhie]] and we don't need a list of Gen I games, Gen II games, all the way to four, when all you need is a roundy replacement of those in the same way Dex and Availability have. If there's no means to, that's fine, but if there is means, name all the good reason you can that we need to be reminded times for that Koaruhie wasn't in any game in the last fifteen years. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 22:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

== Japan only sprites, and Colosseum/XD sprites ==

Is there any way to add Japan only sprites of some Pokemon (Slowpoke, Jynx, etc.), assuming they are not already programmed into the template, I've tried and nothing seems to work. Also, once all the Colosseum/XD sprites are uploaded, should they be added to this template, or their own template? For example:

{|
|-
! style="background: #E6E6E6;" align="center" rowspan="3" | '''[[Generation III|III]]'''
! bgcolor="#{{colo color}}" | [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]]
! bgcolor="#{{xd color}}" | [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|XD]]
! bgcolor="#E6E6E6" colspan="5" style="background:#{{{{{2|???}}} color light}}" | Menu</noinclude>
|- style="background:#{{{{{2|???}}} color light}}"
| colspan="2" align="center" | [[File:Box Colo {{{1|197}}}.png]]
| align="center" | [[File:Menu Colo {{{1|087}}}.png]]
|- style="background:#{{{{{2|???}}} color light}}"
| colspan="2" align="center" | [[File:Box Colo {{{1|352}}} s.png]]
| align="center" | [[File:Menu Colo {{{1|087}}} s.png]]<noinclude>
|}

Note that I'm just using sprites that have already been uploaded, hence why it looks a bit of a mess. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 19:55, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
:Can we find a source for those Colo/XD sprites that will allow us to use them? If we can get them all uploaded along with getting the backsprites done, I can add it to [[User talk:Werdnae/Sandbox/Sprite|this.]]{{tt|*|Note that most of the backsprites aren't working as I'm going to wait to update it until the backsprites are all done so I only have to do it once.}}

:For the Japanese sprites, how many Pokémon are we talking about? Just those three? And are the Japan only sprites just gen II? (aside from RG of course) [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
::[http://www.pokewiki.de/Hauptseite The Colosseum/XD sprites can be found here]. Note that a couple of sprites are missing, namely Shadow Lugia, Bonsly, and a couple of Unown and Deoxys forms. Also, I have to say that your template is much better than the current one. :)
::As for the japanese Gen II sprites, I'm pretty sure its just Jynx, Slowpoke and Aipom. I'm not sure about other Gens, other than Registeel having a different D/P Sprite for the PAL release. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 12:10, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Also, I though I should add that Pokemon XD has another set of animated sprites for all 387 Pokemon in the game, including Shadow Lugia and Deoxys forms etc., but would they be ok to use? Given that apparently there was problems with adding animated BW sprites. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 12:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Thanks. The Unown formes aren't an issue, we don't have their sprites form Gens IV or V either. Not to mention Deth wants to cut out the bigger time-based switchers. Japanese sprites that's good, I can code up ''yet another'' sub-template. I hate formes. Registeel. . . It's EU DP sprite is the same as it's worldwide Pt sprite isn't it? So we can probably just ignore that a bit. Animated. . . I dunno. We don't want the animations to end up overdone. Deoxys's Gen IV section already hurts my eyes if I look at it for more than thirty seconds. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cleffa are very small pink creatures that are vaguely star-shaped in appearance. They basically look like a {{wp|Super deformed|chibi}} Clefairy with their pink bodies and brown ears. They also have a curl on their forehead and a small tail, however, they do not have the small wings that their evolutions have.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Cleffa, like its evolutions, are known to benefit in some way by dancing in the moonlight. Cleffa can also gain nutrients by drinking dew water. Cleffa and its evolutions are the only known Pokémon to possess the {{a|Magic Guard}} ability, which grants them immunity from in-direct damage.

===Behavior===
Cleffa have been known to be attracted by meteor showers. Sightings of this Pokémon always increases during meteor showers, and when they do show up, they dance the night away.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
As with their evolved forms, Cleffa live in mountainous regions; especially on [[Mt. Moon]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP246|Wish Upon a Star Shape]]'', a Cleffa fell from a spaceship that belonged to the kleptomaniac Clefairy from ''[[EP062|Clefairy Tales]]''. {{Ash}} and friends had to get the Star Shape Pokémon back to its group before [[Team Rocket]] and the [[Pokémon Mystery Club]] could get their hands on it.

Several Cleffa appeared in the episode ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Cleffa first appeared in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'' as part of the [[Pichu Bros]] Posse.

A Cleffa appeared in ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]''.

===Origin===
It is possible that its based on {{wp|fairy|fairies}} and {{wp|pixie}}s, just like its evolutions.

====Name origin====
Cleffa's name is a contraction of the name ''{{p|Clefairy}}'', to indicate it is a pre-evolution. ''{{wp|Clef}}'' is French for keys (ie. musical ones). Its Japanese name is also a contraction of the name ''[[Clefairy (Pokémon)|Pippi]]''.

'''Ariados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アリアドス''' ''Ariados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spinarak}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ariados is a spider-like Pokémon in appearance. It has a red body with black stripes and an unhappy face on its abdomen. Ariados has four yellow legs with purple stripes; its fifth and sixth legs seem to have been moved onto its back.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Ariados's feet are tipped with tiny hooked claws that enable it to scuttle on ceilings and vertical walls. It spins a single strand of a special string endlessly out of its rear. The string leads back to its nest. The string can also be spun from its mouth. It is hard to tell which end is which. This Pokémon constricts the foe with its webbing.

Ariados, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Spinarak}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Spider Web}}.

===Behavior===
Rather than making a nest in one specific spot, it wanders in search of food after darkness falls. It will attach silk to its prey and set it free. Later, it tracks the silk to the prey and its friends.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

It is certain that it is a hunter. It is one of the few Pokémon that has been depicted catching other Pokémon to consume.

==In the anime==
[[File:Harley Ariados.png|right|thumb|250px|Ariados in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos]]'', [[Aya]]'s sensei owns an Ariados.

[[Oakley]] has an Ariados in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''.

An Ariados appeared in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]'', under the ownership of [[Forrester Franklin]].

[[Harley]]'s Ariados first appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', some Ariados attacked {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Several Ariados attacked Dawn and her Piplup again in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]''. Even more Ariados attacked Dawn and Piplup in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour]]''.

An Ariados owned by [[J]] appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'' As J proceeds to steal her victims' Pokémon, she has her Ariados tie up her victims with {{m|String Shot}}. J's Ariados also made a short appearance in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where J told it to use String Shot to tie up Ash and co. and prevent them from stopping the [[Brandon's Regis|Regi Trio]] and {{p|Regigigas}} as well.

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', [[Kellyn]] used his [[Capture Styler]] on an Ariados and had it use {{m|String Shot}} on some {{p|Crobat}}s that belonged to Hunter J's Henchmen.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', [[Angie]] used an Ariados in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP176|Ariados|Ash's Pokédex|Ariados, the Long Leg Pokémon. The [[Evolution|evolved]] form of {{p|Spinarak}}. Ariados is able to spin extremly strong and sticky {{m|Spider Web|webs}} to trap its adversaries.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Since {{PAV|11}}, [[Janine]] is seen with an Ariados. She uses its string to help her scale buildings. It appears once again in {{PAV|13}}, when she uses it to take on [[Falkner]]. She explains here that Ariados can spit string for making webs using its spinneret, as well as spit a different type of thread for attacking from its mouth. This second type of thread is so sharp, it even cracks the metal body of Falkner's {{p|Skarmory}}.

The [[Masked Man]] also has an Ariados, seen during his first appearance in [[Ilex Forest]]. He uses an Ariados to combat {{p|Celebi}} due to the type advantages it has over it.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Mangadexheader}}
{{Mangadexbody|Pokémon Adventures|[[PS156]]|It can produce {{M|spider web}} from both its mouth and spinneret. It's difficult to even differentiate the head from its back, where the spinneret is located.{{tt|*|Chuang Yi's translation}}}}

==Trivia==
*Ariados is one of the few Pokémon whose sprites in both {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} are the same.
*Despite its name and resemblance to the spider, Ariados lacks the 8 legs required to be a true arachnid.
===Origin===
Ariados's appearance is based on the {{wp|Myrmarachne formicaria}} spider, but with the prosoma and opisthosoma reversed, fitting with its Pokédex entry.
====Name origin====
Ariados's name is probably derived from ''{{wp|arachnid}}'', Latin for {{wp|spider}} or {{wp|Ariadne}}. ''Dos'' could be from the Japanese 脅す ''odosu'', to threaten. Alternatively, ''dos'' may refer to the Spanish word for ''two'', used possibly because it has two stingers, or because it is the second form in its evolutionary line.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Migalos - From ''mygale'' ({{wp|tarantula}}).

Azelf is the third member of the [[lake guardians]], the [[Sinnoh]] region's {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon [[legendary trio|trio]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Azelf is a small, grayish blue, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel on them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement the [[Red Chain]]. Azelf has a partially cyan face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Azelf has a cone-shaped head with elf ear-like protrusions on each side.
====Gender differences====
Azelf is genderless, although it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Special abilities====
Azelf's spirit can leave its body without dying. Its spirit can return to the body at will. Azelf has the ability to control one's will, according to the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon Handbook.
It can also enter the body of another Pokémon or a human. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], if Azelf is harmed it can cause humans to lose all will inside of them, making them completely immobile for all eternity. It was also shown in ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'' that Azelf has the ability to teleport itself, as well as other Pokémon and humans.

===Behavior===
Azelf can be very cautious around people and Pokémon but when it feels threatened it will reveal its bold side.

===Habitat===
Azelf sleeps beneath [[Lake Valor]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Animeazelf.png|thumb|250px|Azelf in the anime]]
Azelf appeared in spirit form (much like {{p|Mesprit}} did to {{an|Dawn}} in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'') to {{Ash}} in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.

{{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} first appeared in its physical form in ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three!]]'', where it was the first to be captured by [[J]] and [[Team Galactic]]. It was then controlled by the team to help fulfill its goal. In ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', after breaking from their control with the help of [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Staraptor}}, it helped in stopping [[Cyrus]]'s plot to use {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Azelf appeared briefly to {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} when they were trying to find {{adv|Platinum}} at [[Lake Valor]]. Later, Pearl is sent to guard Azelf from [[Team Galactic]]. He was chosen because, fittingly, he is very hyper when compared to the {{p|Mesprit|calm}} Diamond or the {{p|Uxie|knowledgable}} {{adv|Platinum}}.

===In Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
On the {{st|Spear Pillar}} stage, occasionally the [[lake guardians]] make surprising "cameo" appearances during the fight; however, they do nothing.
====Trophy Information====
''A Willpower Pokémon. Born from the same Egg as {{P|Uxie}} and {{P|Mesprit}}, this Pokémon maintains the balance of things in the world from the bottom of [[Lake Valor]]. Some say that anyone who injures it will become unable to perform any kind of action after seven days. It wields many strong attacks, like the devastating {{m|Last Resort}} It can also protect itself from sleep attacks with {{m|Uproar}}.''

==Trivia==
* Azelf is the only [[legendary Pokémon]] to learn {{m|Explosion}} by [[level|leveling up]] without the need of a [[move relearner]], being found at level 50 and learning the move at 76.

===Origin===
Azelf appears to be a {{wp|pixie}} or a {{wp|fairy}}, although its name suggests that it's an {{wp|elf}}. Azelf and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Azelf would be the {{wp|Kusanagi}}, which embodies valor.
====Name origin====
Azelf comes from ''azure'' and ''elf'' or ''us'' and ''elf''. The first part of its Japanese name may come from the Japanese verb 倦ねる ''aguneru'', meaning ''to lose interest in'' and {{wp|gnome}}.

'''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]] as of [[Generation IV]]. 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 also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon universe]], along with the [[lake guardians]] and [[dragon trio]]. The only legitimate way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]], which has yet to be distributed officially, 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, vertically-striated underside, the pattern of which has similar recurrences on the underside of Arceus's mane, tail, and face, and Arceus's four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. 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. 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's underside that is colored white like much of the body. 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 {{t|{{arceustype}}|current type}}. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. 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. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration.

====Gender differences====
Arceus is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
[[Image:Arceus_Formes.gif|right|thumb|An animation displaying Arceus's different colorings while holding plates]]
According to legend, Arceus is thought to have created the [[Sinnoh]] region and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], the [[Lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and the [[Dragon trio]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

Arceus is multifarious; it can change forms and types with the use of the special [[plate]]s.

Arceus is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon who can learn {{m|Judgment}}. Arceus can also use many attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Mew}}. Arceus is also 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.

According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed or make certain things to vanish into thin air. Arceus also has the ability to halt time.

===Behavior===
While normally a kind, heroic and benevolent Pokémon, Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if angered.

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]]. However, in the [[M12|twelfth Pokémon movie]], it seems to live in a wide dimension of stars and galaxies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In [[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] it is said to "feed" off of the energy of the elemental plates.

==In the anime==
[[Image: Arceus movie 12.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Arceus (movie 12)|Arceus]] in the anime]]
{{an|Arceus}} made its debut in ''[[M12|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 ''[[DP152|Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', the [[Red Chain]] takes on the appearance of the ring that surrounds Arceus's body when it is wrapped around {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Despite this, Arceus itself does not appear.

Arceus makes a cameo in the opening [[The Greatest - Everyday!]], along with the [[dragon trio]].

==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 [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} and his team battle a wild Arceus in the opening pages of the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and even [[Explotaro]]'s powerful [[Blast Burn]] attack is unable to damage the incredible beast.

==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.

==Trivia==
[[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 ''[[M12|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". Its original pronunciation is still in popular usage, however, and isn't considered to be incorrect.
* 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, {{M|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 is one of three Pokémon that can learn all of the [[HM]] moves, including ones which no longer have that status. The others are {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Smeargle}} through {{m|Sketch}}.
* Arceus is the one who is rumored to have prevented all Pokémon in the future from disappearing in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. Dialga explains that "it was no miracle" that they were saved, and that "a greater power" saved them all. Arceus is the leader of the dragon trio, to which Dialga is a member of.
===Origin===
Arceus is particularly based on a {{wp|creator deity}}, present in many world cultures. It may also 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''.

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).

Arceus's name is pronounced with a soft "c" by the announcer in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; in keeping with its probable name origin, it is pronounced with a hard "c" in television commercials and in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

[[File:Arcanine-anime.jpg|right|thumb|Arcanine in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Gary's Arcanine]]====
[[Gary Oak]] has an Arcanine. The first time it was seen was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' battling [[Giovanni]]. He used it again to battle {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Bayleef}} in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]''.

====Other====
Arcanine and its pre-evolution, {{p|Growlithe}}, have often been seen being used as [[Officer Jenny's Growlithe|police dogs]].

{{Ash}} battled an Arcanine in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]''. This Arcanine was under the ownership of [[Pete Pebbleman]] and was his final Pokémon. Despite the type disadvantage, Pete's Arcanine easily defeated [[Ash's Kingler]] by dodging its {{m|Bubble}} attack and using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to defeat the Arcanine with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack after the Ice Field melted due to Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}}.

In ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones]]'', two Trainers named [[Ramona]] and [[Keegan]] had three Arcanine, one under the ownership of Keegan and two under his sister Ramona. They were using the {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to deliver some {{evosto|Fire}}s to be used as prizes for a local Fire-Pokémon tournament. The two Trainers used their Arcanine to save Ash, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] from falling off a cliff.

In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] and {{an|May}} wanted to capture an Arcanine for using in a [[Pokémon Contest]]. When it was discovered that the Pokémon had a litter of {{p|Growlithe}} puppies to take care of, the two rivals decided to leave Arcanine alone.

In ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]'', {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} uses the "Fiery Fleet Footed" Arcanine and {{p|Swampert}}, "The Water and Ground Champion", to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Corphish}}.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]] used an Arcanine to track down [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].

An Arcanine appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Blaine]] is seen to have an Arcanine from a flashback in {{PAV|3}}, when he recalls a confrontation with [[Team Rocket]].

{{adv|Crystal}} has an Arcanine, whom she uses for transport at times. It is able to hit targets fast and hard using its {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. As explained in a flashback in {{PAV|11}}, Arcanine was a [[wild Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Mortar]] whose left eye was injured five years ago. The cause is revealed to be a {{p|Larvitar}} prankster, whom Crystal manages to capture.

==Trivia==
* Arcanine originally had the name "Blaze."
* Arcanine is the only Pokémon with a stat total of 555.
** Arcanine has the highest base stats of any Pokémon that has only evolved once.
* Arcanine has the second-highest base stat average of any non-legendary and non-[[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, next to {{p|Slaking}}.
* Arcanine's Pokédex entry for Pokémon Yellow connects the Pokémon world with our own. It says "A legendary Pokémon in {{wp|China}}. Many people are charmed by its grace and beauty while running."
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], it describes itself as having a speed that no one can match, but it is tied at the 68th fastest Pokémon with 20 others. However, this may refer to one of its moves, {{m|Extreme Speed}}.
*Although its species is the Legendary Pokémon, it is not a true [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]], and is not even considered a [[pseudo-legendary]].

===Origin===
Arcanine is based on the Ryukyuan {{wp|Shisa|シーサー ''shisa''}}, or ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that take inspiration from lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck. It could also be based on the {{wp|Haetae}}, a mythical fire-eating dog with similarities to lions and tigers.

===Name origin===
Arcanine's name is a combination of ''arcane'', meaning mysterious, and ''{{wp|canine}}'', meaning dog. Windie may refer to wind, because this Pokémon runs like a wind as if it was flying and at great speed.
