Read more ↓Arceus, often revered as the "Alpha Pokémon," holds the unique distinction of being the creator of the Pokémon world and, indeed, the entire Pokémon universe. Introduced in Generation IV with the Sinnoh region, Arceus is a Normal-type Pokémon that famously has no evolutionary line, existing as a singular, primordial entity. Its lore within the Pokédex describes its emergence from an egg in a place where nothing existed, after which it shaped the world with its thousand arms. This powerful narrative establishes Arceus as a deity-like figure, embodying creation and cosmic balance. In the games, Arceus can change its type based on the Plate item it holds, making it incredibly versatile. Its appearance in the anime, particularly in "Arceus and the Jewel of Life," further cements its status as a central, awe-inspiring force. Culturally, Arceus represents the ultimate power and mystery in the Pokémon world, a symbol of origin and the vastness of the cosmos. Its natural habitat is not a specific location but rather the very fabric of existence itself, and its behavior is characterized by its role as a cosmic overseer.
