According to legend, it shaped the [[Pokémon universe]] using its 1,000 arms. Arceus has been referred to as "'''The Original One'''" in myths and legends and is generally considered to be one of the strongest Pokémon. Arceus is believed to be the creator of the [[Sinnoh]]/[[Hisui]] and [[Ransei]] regions and possibly the entire Pokémon universe, along with the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}}, as well as the [[Pokémon of Myth]]: {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the Pokémon of Myth as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Arceus has been portrayed as having powers such as bringing back things that it once destroyed, making certain things vanish into thin air, halting time, and overturning the very laws of nature. As depicted in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Arceus has the power to not only calm Dialga and Palkia, but also destroy the [[Red Chain]] controlling them. It can release {{m|Judgment|countless shots of light}} that can of disintegrate the landscape around it. Arceus can change its [[type]] at will in order to adapt to a situation through the use of its [[Plate]]s or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]]s. Arceus also has the power to split up into two, creating a piece of itself to exist outside of [[Dimension#Arceus' realm|its realm]] which is also implied to be its physical form, being only a piece of its whole being, while its true form is unknown and incomprehensible. | According to legend, it shaped the [[Pokémon universe]] using its 1,000 arms.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. In the modern time, Arceus continues to watch over the world, and it wishes for people and Pokémon to work together in the face of adversity. Even when it is needed, it would only give out hints for how to solve the problem, instead of directly interfering. Arceus can also give its blessing to other Pokémon through bolts of light to make them bigger and more powerful as seen with the [[ancient hero]]'s 10 Pokémon companions. This blessing is also passed down through family lines as seen with the hero's Pokémon's descendants: the [[noble Pokémon|Noble]] and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} that were worshipped by the people of [[Hisui]]. In {{g|Masters EX}}, through the [[Sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], Arceus can give its blessing to | Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness.

In {{g|Masters EX}}, through the [[Sync stone ultimate|sync stones ultimate]], Arceus can give its blessing to a [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] it deems worthy, transforming their outfits into costumes known as [[Arc Suit]]s. As a result, their [[Sync pair]] are blessed as well, granting them a [[Sync move#Divine move|Divine move]] over their [[Sync move]]. It was also shown transforming a normal cellphone into an [[Arc Phone]], a device that allows humans to communicate with it through text messages. Arceus can also create powerful artifacts from its [[Plate]]s, as seen with the [[Jewel of Life]] created from the [[Earth Plate|Earth]], [[Splash Plate|Splash]], [[Meadow Plate|Meadow]], [[Zap Plate|Zap]], and [[Draco Plate|Draco Plates]]. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it is said to "feed" off the energy of the Plates. In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', it was shown being able to stop space-time voids that'd destroy a large area as long as it wants. Arceus has the power to appear in dreams and create a variety of Pokémon to serve as challenges as seen in [[Eternal Battle Reverie]]. | ||
As shown in the introduction sequence of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus can take a large, golden, glowing, silhouette-like form while in its homeworld. It was also shown to be [[Talking Pokémon|capable of human speech]], stating that Arceus is simply the name [[human]]s call it. The first ancient inhabitants of the Hisui [[region]], the [[Celestica people]], worshiped it, referring to it as "'''almighty [[Sinnoh]]'''" and "'''great Sinnoh'''". Arceus also had the title "might of Sinnoh", with the term Sinnoh later on becoming the name of the region. The [[Diamond Clan]] and [[Pearl Clan]] also worship it, though they mistook {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, respectively, for Arceus. In ancient myths, it's said that the [[Origin Ore]], an ore of mysterious power, contain the power of Arceus itself. In [[Alola]], Arceus was used as base by the [[Aether Foundation]] to create an [[artificial Pokémon]] named {{p|Silvally|Type: Full}} as part of the [[Beast killer project]], with an {{a|RKS System|Ability}} similar to Arceus's. However, the project was deemed a failure and was later abandoned, sealing Type: Full's ability with a control helmet which caused it to [[Devolution|devolve]] and be renamed as {{p|Type: Null}}. | As shown in the introduction sequence of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Arceus can take a large, golden, glowing, silhouette-like form while in its homeworld.
