**Range:** Extended melee range, likely planetary with attacks and abilitieS

**Standard Equipment:** Its Plates, which represent each of the 17 Pokémon types (Arceus does not possess a Plate representing Normal-type, as it is a Normal-type naturally) (Interestingly enough, Arceus used to possess a form [albeit an unobtainable one, likely only existing as a precaution for hacking] for the old "???" type exclusive to Curse pre Gen V, eggs pre Gen IV, and Weather Ball under the effects of Shadow Sky in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness). Arceus also can use the 18 Z-Crystals as they function the same way as the Plates

**Intelligence:** Nigh-Omniscient (Created the very concept of knowledge, in the form of Uxie, from itself. Could inform Lucas/Dawn about Darkrai during its endless sleep, while he/she was in Darkrai's nightmare). Hasn't been shown to be used to its fullest capacity, but it's highly likely the precognitive aspect of its ability "Omnipotent" is a derivative of this characteristic

**Weaknesses:** Depending on which Plates it is missing, it can be hindered or damaged by specific types of attacks (while missing the Earth, Meadow, Draco, Zap, and Splash Plates, Ash's Pikachu was able to momentarily hinder it with Thunderbolt) | None notable

* Abilities
* Moves

* **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.

- **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.

**Key:** **Avatars** | **True Form**

**Note 1:** The entity Arceus is the physical manifestation of the Original Spirit used to interact with the Pokémon Multiverse.

**Note 2:** The personifications of Universal laws, Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are stated to be, though entirely separate entities, parts of it as stated in the games and manga as are the Lake guardians.

**Note 3:** 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 4:** Arceus was stated to have access to every power showcased in the Pokémon series due of its Plates being the origin of all the Pokémon Powers, but however there is no proof of this as of yet.
