'''Arceus''' ({{ja|アルセウス}}, ''Aruseusu'') is a fictional creature from the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' series]], and is regarded by in-game cultures as the creator deity of the Pokémon universe. Arceus has been confirmed to appear as a [[Poké Ball]] summon. When summoned, it produces a large shockwave that acts as a powerful long-range [[meteor smash]].
'''Arceus''' ({{ja|アルセウス|Aruseusu}}, ''Arceus'') is a creature from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series.


==Origin==
{{pkmn|Arceus}} is a {{iw|bulbapedia|Mythical Pokémon}} introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation IV}}, and is listed at #493 as the final Pokémon in that generation's National Pokédex, being categorized as the "Alpha Pokémon". In the Sinnoh mythos, it is considered the universe's creator, and the master of the generation's two legendary trios. By holding a matching {{iw|bulbapedia|Plate}} item, it can change its type from Normal to any other type in the game. Its signature move is {{iw|bulbapedia|Judgment|move}}, an attack which changes its type to match Arceus's current type. Arceus played a major role in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Legends: Arceus}}''.


{{iw|bulbapedia|Gravity|move}} is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation IV. When used, it applies a status effect to the battlefield for 5 turns, grounding every Pokémon on the field: this lowers the evasion of all Pokémon by two stages, removes any immunity to Ground-type moves and makes some moves like {{iw|bulbapedia|High Jump Kick|move}} impossible to perform. Arceus learns Gravity at level 10, but since every legitimately available Arceus thus far was only obtainable at much higher levels, Arceus requires a {{iw|bulbapedia|Move Reminder}} or {{iw|bulbapedia|Move Tutor}} to learn the move.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:ArceusWiiU.png|thumb|left|Arceus's reveal in the [[Nintendo Direct|Super Smash Bros. Direct]].]]
Arceus appears as a [[Poké Ball]] and a [[Master Ball]] summon. When summoned, it produces a large shockwave that acts as a powerful long-range [[meteor smash]]. It does so three times, with a short delay between each use, before disappearing. Only airborne players will be hit; grounded players are not affected. It does not cause damage, but it possesses very powerful [[set knockback]], which is very likely to KO any off-stage opponent. However, opponents can potentially [[DI]] towards a stage wall, allowing them to [[tech]] and survive. The [[launch rate]] can affect how powerful the attack is.
When Arceus is out, [[CPU]]s will prefer to stay grounded. If they are on a platform far away from other fighters, they will remain there, spamming attacks.

===Trophy===
In {{forwiiu}} the Arceus trophy is part of the ''Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Legend of Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl}}.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Arceus SSBU.png|thumb|Arceus preparing to attack.]]
Arceus reappears as a Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon. The knockback dealt by the attack is no longer set.
Arceus cannot be summoned on Arena Ferox, Balloon Fight, Brinstar, Corneria, Dream Land GB, Jungle Japes, Living Room, Magicant, Onett, Reset Bomb Forest, Spirit Train, Super Mario Maker, Suzaku Castle, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island.
===Spirit===
Arceus also appears as a Legend-class [[primary spirit]].
In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Arceus is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, [[Dharkon]] takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Arceus. After Dharkon's defeat, he flees to the final world, with Galeem following soon after. In the final world, Galeem and Dharkon wage war against each other using their captured spirits, with Galeem taking control of Arceus.
Arceus uses a {{SSBU|Corrin}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage. During the battle, Arceus is summoned while heavy winds are immediately in effect, referencing  Arceus's {{iw|bulbapedia|Gravity|move}} move. Also, Corrin's dragon form highly resembles Arceus, and Corrin's Japanese name, "Kamui", is the Ainu word for "god", referencing how Arceus is the creator of the Pokémon world.
