==Info==

Hello this is Uğur(spells Uur) from Turkey, I'm 11 years old, and I play Pokémon for 4 years.

==My history of meeting with Pokémon==

When I was 7 years old, I saw a Gameboy Advance and I liked it. My father bought me a Gameboy Advance and my first game was randomly selected Pokémon Sapphire. When I was celebrating my 8th birthday, I saw one of my friends was playing Pokémon Ruby (he had a level 39 Swampert in Rustboro City :D) and I said "Hey, I have got a game that looks like yours." so we became friends and two of our friends joined us. Then it went like: Emerald, Ruby, FireRed, Diamond, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Darkness.

==Uğur's Duty==

To help Bulbapedia and to get an award (not Slowpoke).

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーダイル''' ''Oodairu'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Totodile}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Feraligatr are big, bulky, bipedal crocodilian Pokémon, primarily blue in coloration with accentuations of red and yellow. In aspects of coloration, Feraligatr much resembles its preevolution {{P|Croconaw}} with the exception of the vanished ‘animal skin’ pattern. What is probably Feraligatr’s most notable feature, battle-wise, are its large, powerful toothy jaws which are able to cause heavy damage. Three teeth are visible when Feraligatr closes its mouth, two from the lower jaw and one from the upper. Feraligatr has three sets of spikes on its body, which differ in shape from those of Croconaw’s as all of them possess three prongs. The one on its back appears particularly prominent, due to its size and the bulk of Feraligatr’s shoulders. The bisected, V-shaped yellow pattern Feraligatr possessed as a Totodile has reappeared, except being on the lower portion of its body and between its thighs instead of the arms. Feraligatr also have large scales on their arms, tails, and legs, the latter of which give the appearance of pockets. A differing feature of Feraligatr in comparison to its pre-evolutions is that its irises are yellow instead of red and that all its digits have nails.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Along with the usual {{type2|Water}} abilities, Feraligatr's jaws have the ability to lock in place like its pre-evolutions. In combination with their large muscle power, this ability makes them extremely fearsome and brutal.

===Behavior===

Feraligatr are more used to swimming than to walking on land. When this Pokémon does venture out of water, it crawls on all fours in order to move faster. However, when they are hunting or fighting, they are surprisingly agile and fast, due to their powerful hind legs that are used to kick the ground hard and charge. The fact that Feraligatr are cold-blooded Pokémon means that they need to be where they can adjust their body temperatures accordingly. Feraligatr intimidates its foes by opening its huge mouth, although it lacks the actual ability.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Feraligatr are extremely rare in the wild. They live near water with the rest of their [[evolution]] family.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It goes at blinding speed when it attacks and bites its prey. When it bites with its massive and powerful jaws, it shakes its head and savagely tears its victim up.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===

{{an|Brock}} used a Feraligatr in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

Another Feraligatr appeared in ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''.

Another one appeared in [[DP158]].

==Trivia==
* Feraligatr is the tallest final form of a [[starter Pokémon]], at 7 feet and 7 inches (2.3 meters).
** Feraligatr is also the starter that reaches its final form the earliest, doing so at level 30. Coincidentally, {{p|Totodile}} evolves into its secondary form, {{p|Croconaw}}, at level 18, the latest of any starter Pokémon, tied with {{p|Turtwig}} into {{p|Grotle}}.
*** Feraligatr is also the heaviest fully evolved {{type2|Water}} starter.
* The lack of a vowel between the T and R in Feraligatr is due to the ten character limit on Pokémon names, which also affects {{p|Victreebel}}.
* Feraligatr is the only Pokémon to have more than four syllables in its name, with five.
* Feraligatr shares the same base stats with Blastoise, just in a different order.
===Origin===
Like {{p|Totodile}} and {{p|Croconaw}}, Feraligatr is a {{wp|crocodylia}}n. Appearance-wise, it's an {{wp|alligator}}.

====Name origin====
Feraligatr draws its name from a combination of ''feral'' (or possibly ''ferocious'') and ''{{wp|alligator}}''. Its Japanese name may contain 王 ''ō'', king, 皇 ''ō'', emperor, or 大 ''ō'', large, and ''dile'' is a reference to {{wp|crocodile}}s.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Impergator - Combination of ''imperial'' and ''alligator''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Aligatueur - From ''alligator'' and ''tueur'' (killer).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 장크로다일 ''Jangkeurodail''

'''Wailmer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホエルコ''' ''Hoeruko'') is a {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Wailord}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wailmer resembles a large spherical whale with no tail. It has a dark blue topside and a tan underbelly with groves. It has two fins that have finger-like appendages, baleen plates that resemble teeth, and a blowhole on the top of its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Wailmer can fill itself with water and turn itself into a bouncy ball. The more water it sucks in, the bouncier it becomes.

===Behavior===
They are known to be very playful Pokémon. It loves to startle people by forcefully snorting out seawater it stores inside its body out of its nostrils, but it may become lethargic if if it becomes dry.

===Habitat===
They live in the ocean, but occasionally can bounce onto the shoreline.
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
They eat over a ton of food a day, which they filter with their baleen plates.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Wailmer.png|thumb|220px|Wailmer in the anime]]
Wailmer first appearance was a cameo in ''[[PK11|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]''.

[[Ross]] used a Wailmer for the Tour de Alto Mare, a water chariot race, in ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''. Ross and Wailmer came in second while [[Misty]] and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} came in first.

Wailmer made a cameo in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate]]'' for [[Juan]]'s [[Sootopolis City]] performance.

A Wailmer was befriended by [[Robin]], a man who was living on an uncharted island, in ''[[AG124|Island Time]]''. The Ball Whale Pokémon evolved into a Wailord in order to transport Robin and {{Ash}} and co. to a ship heading to [[Ever Grande City]], though Robin later decided that he wanted to go back to the island.

A Wailmer belonging to a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} appeared in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', taking part in the [[Wallace Cup]].

A Wailmer is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

In ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', Ash assisted a Wailmer that was trapped in the sewers in rejoining its friends in the ocean. It later evolved into a {{p|Wailord}} in the same episode.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Hitting the ball into Wailmer's mouth will activate Catch 'Em Mode on the [[Sapphire Field]].

*[[Pokémon Channel]]: On the beach, the player can fish for Pokémon with the fishing rod and bait provided. Wailmer is uncommon, but if the player reels Wailmer to the shore, the player can see the tremendous size difference between Wailmer and {{p|Pikachu}}.

==Trivia==
*Wailmer, along with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Kecleon}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, in early March of 2001.

===Origin===
Wailmer is based on a {{wp|whale}} with aspects of a beach ball, similarly to {{P|Azumarill}}.
====Name origin====
Wailmer's name is based on ''whale'' and possibly ''mer'', the French word for ''sea''. ''Wail'' may also refer to the sounds or songs that whales and this Pokémon might make.

''Whalko'' is literally 吠える子, bellowing child, but ''hoeru'' is similar in sound to the English word ''whale'', making the meaning of its name ''whale child''.

'''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 also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], 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 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 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|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

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 is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon that learns {{m|Judgment}} via level-up. 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.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==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 [[DP152]], 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.

==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.

==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 ''[[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).

Arceus' 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 ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

'''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 also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], 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 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 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|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

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 is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon that learns {{m|Judgment}} via level-up. 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.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==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 [[DP152]], 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.

==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).

Arceus' 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 ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

'''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 also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], 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 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 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|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

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 is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon that learns {{m|Judgment}} via level-up. 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.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==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 [[DP152]], 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.

==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).

Arceus' 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 ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

'''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 also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], 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 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 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|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

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 is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon that learns {{m|Judgment}} via level-up. 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.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==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 [[DP152]], 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.

==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.

==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 ''[[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).

Arceus' 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 ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

'''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 also known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created [[Sinnoh]], and possibly the entire [[Pokémon world]], 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 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 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|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}}.

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 is [[signature move|the only known]] Pokémon that learns {{m|Judgment}} via level-up. 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.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]], which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==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 [[DP152]], 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.

==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.

==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 ''[[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).

Arceus' 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 ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==A note to editors==
The page will be staying locked for a little bit longer. There is a lot of information to process, and if everybody tries to edit this page at once, there are going to be lots of edit conflicts. This can result in server stress, and also may prevent genuine information from being added. So just wait for a bit. If you've got something to add, doublecheck that it isn't there already and make a new section on this page. The administrators will add it to the article in time, provided it isn't baseless and has been confirmed either by our own editors playing through the games, or a number of other websites. We will unlock the page once the traffic has slowed a little. Thank you. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

== Less notable/important aesthetic changes? ==

I'm not sure about this or not, but is it worthwhile at all to mention somewhere these two cosmetic changes:

* Water flowing can now be heard when standing near a body of water.
* The Magnet Train's tracks now appear overground (like on Route 32).

'''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 03:24, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
:Cheers. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

*Just an addition to TheChrisD's posts, the game also has more sound effects in the overworld. Aside from the sound of water flowing, other sounds include the sound of the windmill when standing next to a windmill in New Bark Town and even just the sound of the player's walking on tall and short grass if you listen carefully.
*Also, the Running Shoes can be put on via Touch Screen, allowing the player to run without having to hold the B button.

===One More Edit Request===
If it's worth adding that is... In this game, players can use two items quickly. I don't remember how to say it, but there can be two quick select items (maybe that's the term) instead of one. They're numbered and the first can be activated by pressing (Y) but both are available on the touch screen. [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 11:18, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
:Done. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:35, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

===Poké Gear's Radio Card is Essential===

===Gift's from Mom===
When you let your mother buy you presents, she doesn't put them in your PC but you have to go to your "friendlyshop" (Poké Mart) or department store and the delivery man is waiting for you with a gift.

Also people take your picture with all your Pokémon and send it to your PC. (Camera men at various spots around the map. usually touristy)

How come alot of pokemon say on their locations box that they need to be traded in to heartgold and soulsilver, when thay can just be evolved from a pokemon that can be found in the wild. Take Kakuna for instance, you can find it in the national park in gold and silver, so you can probably catch it in the same way as well in HGSS. Or you could just evolve your weedle.--[[User:Minimag|Minimag]] 06:16, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
:"Trade" is the default on the template. If you know where the Pokémon are located, then you can fix it up yourself.

==Pokéball==
Something that was posted on Serebii.net at [http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/items.shtml] on the Pokéball section of that page is that the post-Generation II balls are available in the game. Until more details on this matter are acquired by someone who has a copy of HeartGold or SoulSilver then it should not be posted on this site to avoid misinformation. However though the only noteworthy thing that it has to this page is the addition of more Pokéball than any other Pokémon game. {{unsigned|Tyler53841}}

== The small pond ==

In G/S/C, there was a small, inaccesible pond by the Pokemon Center in Cherrygrove City. This pond served only for city design (because the "border" of the city is "water", and the city finishes behind the PokeCenter, it seemed strange for water to be behind it, so that pond was created to make it look ok. But it is inaccesible). This pond is still in HG/SS, but it is now accesible from Route 30. Small detail I noticed, since that pond always called my attention. I thought it would be gone in these games, but no. I think this and some other details should be noted in the article. --[[User:Dr. James|Dr. James]] 03:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

:I don't think it matters in the long run since the cover art will be replaced with the English covers as soon as they are revealed. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 04:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
:: Alright, I was also wondering, is this cover on all copies or only on certain ones? Some are saying they did not have that cover.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 04:20, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
:::From what I understood, the cover art used in the article is actually a box, and when you open the box there is the PokéWalker and the game case that you posted above. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 04:28, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

== The whole Lati@s version-exclusive thing ==

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} they aren't listed as version-exclusive, even though its the same thing as here. Personally I think they should be listed with an asterisk. '''[[User:Myles|Myles]]''' ([[User talk:Myles|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Myles|contrib]]) 03:52, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
:Agreed. There should at least be something talking about that. They don't list the Weedle line as a version exclusive - b/c it can be obtained by other means - Bug catch Contest. [[User:LugiaRocks|LugiaPwns]] 03:55, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I pretty much think that that Latios and Latias should still be listed as version exclusives but this new piece should be listed as trivia should the other means can from a Nintendo exclusive event which is something that can only happen once and therefore is outside the normal means. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 15:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

:They're not technically version exclusives in R/S, because of the [[Eon Ticket]] and [[Southern Island]]. They're still in the actual game coding as an in-world sprite that's interactable, and you can battle and catch them. Exclusives is like Groudon and Kyogre, or Palkia and Dialga, because you can only catch them in their respective versions. You have to trade to get them in the same version. And the exclusives also have a direct part in the storyline, such as Ruby having extreme sun with Groudon on the loose, and Sapphire having extreme thunderstorms with Kyogre on the loose, not to mention Team Magma and Aqua and in-game text spoken by NPCs.

::Good, Trom changed it. We should somehow mention that without the event they are v-exclusives though. It would be less confusing. '''''-'''''[[User:LugiaRocks|'''LugiaRocks''']] ([[User talk:LugiaRocks|''Talk'']] ★ [[Special:Contributions/LugiaRocks|''Edits'']]) 04:48, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Can we say that Heartgold is like Sapphire and Soulsilver is like Ruby in obviously a proper way? the fact that im mentioning is that Kyogre and Latias comes in Heartgold while their counterparts appear in Soulsilver while the Lati@s not obtained can be obtained from an event.[[User:Laxafett|Laxafett]] 21:46, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

== Date Specifics ==

One of the guys who works at GameStop in my town said the date was in March, as close as he knew. I respect this guy ALOT and see how he would know this, seeing as though he asked if I wanted to pre-order. Can anyone verify March, and maybe see if they can pre-order too?

:A few places have allowed pre-orders for at least a month now, with no release date know. Not trying to be mean, but your trust in a guy at a store doesn't really matter when it comes to verifying info. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 05:08, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
::Amazon said my game would ship April 1st, but that might just be an estimate. [[User:Jazzmoth|Jazzmoth]] 03:05, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
:::That'll just be an estimate. They have to get them from other stores, since they're only a website, they don't buy and store things themselves. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 17:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
::I reserved a Copy at GameStop, they said it was April 1st. Also: [http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=75770|link] --[[User:Domigan|Domigan]]
:::in order to generate pre-orders, they need to set a date. they cant accept a pre-order unless they have a date, so they put a generic release date. Nintendo announced "Spring 2010" and April 1st is right in the middle of spring. the game is not comming April 1st. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 17:26, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

== From a so-so reliable source, I hear HGSS should be coming out in ==

March 2, 2010. I'm not so sure. Cuz then he said May 2, 2010. And that just crushed me...make of this info what you will--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 03:14, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

::::No it was Sunday. Diamond and Pearl were released on Sunday too. So what day of the week doesn't mean anything. Anyway, May is too late. HeartGold/SoulSilver were released the same week that Platinum was the year before, so late March early April is most likely. Also your friend's internet is not any different from the rest of ours. The Gamestop books will say April 1st, and that is just a placeholder date. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 06:09, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
:::::Umeko made a {{tt|mistake|hey, we all make mistakes}}. it seems Nintendo has been releasing a lot of games on Sundays in the past few years. but there no guarantee itll be May 2nd for the reason i stated in the section above. meanwhile, lets keep release date rumors to a minimum. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 06:13, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

== We need to change something. ==

As it is locked for me, any admins agreeing with me, check here and you will see that HGSS are to be announced. So instead of putting N/A, you should be putting TBA. [[User:Will k|Will k]] 20:17, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
