Arceus

==Summary==
Arceus is a Mythical Pokémon who is the leader and creator of the "Creation Trio" formed by Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, as well as the "Lake Trio" formed by Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf, making it a Trio Master, and the only one who is that of two different trios.
By bringing the trios into existence, Arceus created and shaped the fabric of reality in the Pokémon multiverse, making it the single most powerful known entity in the franchise.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Abilities=
*Multitype: Arceus is able to switch types based on the plates it holds, gaining new powers and resistances.
*Omnipotent: A series of abilities that appeared in Pokémon Conquest, it grants Arceus the ability to heal minor wounds between trades, strike incorporeal targets, see the immediate future, and ignore defensive bonuses and resistances.
*Spatial/Temporal Warp: As the creator of Palkia and Dialga, Arceus is capable of wiping things from space-time.
|-|Moves=
*Judgement: Arceus can fire powerful beams of energy and light at the sky that fall down and hit its opponents. This attack changes type depending on what type Arceus currently is and is powerful enough to cause the likes of Dialga and Palkia to stagger with a single direct hit.
*Flamethrower: Arceus can shoot a stream of pure flames from its face.
*Blizzard: Arceus can shoot ice storms of very low temperatures at its targets.
*Twister: Arceus can blow one or two powerful Dragon-type twisters from its face at opponents.
*Time Stop: Arceus can stop time itself.
*Extreme Speed: Arceus immediately strikes the foes with great force, which is virtually impossible to properly react to.
*Gravity: Arceus pins its foe down by rapidly increasing gravity around its target.
*Refresh: Arceus cleanses itself, removing any inhibitory status effects such as paralysis, burns, and poison.
*Perish Song: Arceus lets out a melody that instantly incapacitates all who hear it (including Arceus itself) after a set amount of time.
*Earth Power: Arceus shifts the earth under its target to release a massive upheaval of energy.
*Recover: Arceus concentrates its internal energies, quickly healing most wounds.
*Future Sight: Arceus prepares a powerful psychic attack which strikes the opponent later on. It ignores moves like Protect and Detect, meaning barriers and precog don't help against it. Future Sight has a second ability that allows the user to see into the future.
*Cosmic Power: Arceus absorbs a cosmic power to boost its defense and special defense.
*Punishment: Arceus physically strikes the opponent with a dark attack that increases in power the more the opponent boosts their stats.
*Hyper Voice: Arceus lets off an extremely loud roar that damages the opponent. It also bypasses moves like Substitute.
*Natural Gift: Arceus attacks by drawing power from its held berry. The Type and power are dependent on the berry in question. This also consumes the berry.
*Seismic Toss: The target is thrown using the power of gravity. It inflicts damage equal to the user's level.
*Hyper Beam: Arceus fires off a destructive beam of energy. Unlike most Pokémon it doesn't appear to need to recharge afterwards.
*Outrage: Arceus rampages and attacks for a while. If there are multiple opponents each series of attacks will be directed at a random one. This leaves Arceus confused afterwards.
*Shadow Claw: Arceus slashes at its opponent with a sharp claw made from shadows.

Note 1: There has been rampant confusion over whether or not Arceus was the one who actively created the Pokémon multiverse due to a statement in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life. In the games, the primary canon, it is insisted that Arceus established the fundamental laws of the Multiverse, but the Creation Trio are the ones who actively formed it.
Note 2: A frequently brought up topic is the fact that Arceus was incapacitated by a simple meteor in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life. According to director Yuyama, Arceus was too powerful for the scenario to work in its original setting, which is that of an Omnipotent and Omniscient being, so he decided to create drama by making it incomplete with missing plates, and to make it more convincing by including a time-slip sequence to solve the problem, making this a classic case of Plot-Induced Stupidity. More explained in the link provided.
Note 3: The word for Heart "kokoro", is used mostly to refer to the metaphysical existence that represents a human being, that is, what you would call a soul, or a mind. In the context of Pokémon, Heart is used Interchangeably with Mind or Spirit and it means the same thing, Awareness/Perception. Not unlike the Hindu concept of Brahman. However, due to the fact that it precedes the concept of human spirit, as well as encompassing everything including realms conceptually devoid of spirit, it can be said that it is of a different nature or higher order than conventional Awareness
