Arceus | Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. According to legend, Arceus also created two [[legendary trio|Legendary trios]]. First, it created the [[creation trio]]: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, to balance time, space, and antimatter. Then, it created the [[lake guardians]]: [[Uxie]], [[Mesprit]], and [[Azelf]], and created spirit. As their creator, it is both trios' [[trio master]]. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be the master of two. | ||
Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One". Both [[Canalave City|Canalave City's]] [[Canalave Library|library]] and the [[Plate|plates]] scattered across Sinnoh describe Arceus' creation of the universe. This makes Arceus somewhat notable, as it receives more exposure in-game than Mythical Pokémon traditionally find. | |||
Arceus' [[signature ability]], [[Multitype (ability)|Multitype]], allows it to [[list of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|change its form]] and [[type]] depending on which plate it [[held item|holds]]. This will also change the type of its [[signature move]], [[Judgment (move)|Judgment]]. | |||
Arceus was officially revealed on February 14, 2009, and first made available to players on July 18 of that year, the day when [[M12|''Arceus and the Jewel of Life'']] premiered in Japan. Arceus was revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009. | |||
