In Generation VIII, RKS System is hampered in performance when [[Dynamax]]ing. While RKS System will still change the current type of Silvally depending on the Memory, it cannot influence the typing of Multi-Attack while Silvally is Dynamaxed.

Trivia

  • The name of this Ability is a reference to Arceus, with its English name being similar to the pronunciation of "Arceus". In German, Spanish, French, and Italian, its name is instead a reference to Arceus's category, the Alpha Pokémon.
    • The company RKS Laboratories (Japanese: アルセウス製薬 Arceus Pharma) in Galar has a logo similar to the rings on Arceus's body, furthering the connection.
