Read more ↓Arceus, often revered as "The Original One," is a Normal-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is believed to have created the Sinnoh region, and possibly the entire Pokémon universe, making it one of the most significant and powerful Pokémon in existence. According to Sinnohan mythology, Arceus hatched from an egg in a vortex of nothingness before the universe even existed, then created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, who in turn created time, space, and antimatter. Its habitat is typically depicted as a dimension of its own or at the Hall of Origin, a sacred place atop Mt. Coronet. Arceus does not have an evolution line, standing alone as a singular entity. Its unique ability, Multitype, allows it to change its type based on the Plate it holds, giving it unparalleled adaptability in battles. In the games, Arceus is often a post-game legendary or event-exclusive Pokémon, symbolizing ultimate power and creation. Its role in the anime and movies frequently revolves around its immense power to protect or recreate worlds, cementing its status as a god-like figure and a cornerstone of Pokémon lore.
