Arceus, often referred to as "The Original One," is a mythical Pokémon revered as the creator of the Sinnoh region and, potentially, the entire Pokémon world. It is a Normal-type Pokémon and is unique in its ability to change its type by holding various elemental Plates. Introduced in Generation IV with the games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Arceus is a singular entity, not part of an evolutionary line. Its lore states that it emerged from an egg in a vortex of nothingness before shaping the universe with its 1,000 arms. In the games, Arceus is typically encountered through special events and is a highly sought-after Pokémon due to its mythical status and powerful abilities. Its role in the anime often depicts it as a benevolent, yet immensely powerful, deity intervening in cosmic events. Culturally, Arceus represents creation, divinity, and the ultimate power within the Pokémon universe, making it a central figure in the franchise's mythology. It has no direct type matchups as its type can shift, making it adaptable to any battle scenario.
