Arceus is a Legendary Normal-type Pokémon.

Arceus' type and appearance change depending on the plate or the Z-Crystal it is holding. For example, holding a Pixie Plate will change Arceus into a Fairy-type. When not holding a plate, Arceus defaults to being Normal-type. See Plates for the full list of plates.

According to the legends, this Pokémon emerged from an egg and shaped all there is in this world.

Arceus has the unique ability to use the move skill Wormhole.
