Arceus?
 
What the heck is up with Arceus being able to have the form of all the Pokemon types known to us?
How can you tell which one you'll get? Is it random? Like you can just shut off your game if you get the Normal Arceus, but you want the Fire Arceus?

You can find these plates all over the game and when Arceus is holding a plate he will be the type the plate represents.

BlackRainWillFall March 25th, 2007 4:21 PM

Throughout the game, you will pick up these mysterious "plates". These are specifically for Arceus. For instance, make him hold the poison plate, he'll be the Poison type. Make him hold the fire plate, he'll be the Fire type. Get it?

But Arceus' original form is always Normal when you first battle him.

Alex March 25th, 2007 4:21 PM

Oh that's what those color things were. Okay, thanks!

And you can change the plates from time to time, right? It's not when you put one plate on, it's that plate forever, right?

pokemon programer March 25th, 2007 4:25 PM

Yea you are allowed to change the plate when you want.

The plates are treated as held items, so it's as easy as that. Of course, that means you can't give it another item while it has a plate...

Sounds very cool, thanks for the info all.

Asides from that, I believe that the plates when held by other Pokemon also increases the type of attack's power, like say Mystic Water, Twistedspoon or Magnet would.

You can also get more than one of each plate and they're not restricted to just normal gameplay as items you find, you can find them when digging in the Shinou Underground.

And thx to that plate he become the first "pure flying" type. Anyway that is with the help of item, i want eeveelutions family to be the first pure flying just like umbreon as the first pure dark type....

Back to topic, that plate also change one of his attack i believe...

Alex March 26th, 2007 6:00 PM

Yeah, I think I read that somewhere too. Do you think it would be an attack that's really strong? Like, if you were to attach the Fire plate to him, he'd learn something like Flamethrower or Fire Blast?

Ew, that would mean that, unless they made cool Dark types, the strongest Dark type move he can learn is Crunch >.<
I'm sure they made new Dark type moves.

Ayano Katagiri March 26th, 2007 9:49 PM

The attack that changes according to the plate is called Judgement Pebble.

It is a Power 100, Accuracy 100 attack with 10 PP. It is also a special attack.

On a side note, it is interesting to see that its move tutor attack is Meteoric Swarm which can only be learnt when the Dragon Plate is held.

Dee Trier March 26th, 2007 9:53 PM

But what happened after that re-taken......Sure that's weird.
With that 100 power and 100 acc it even too powered. I won't use legendary nor item though

off topic : yay 500th post

That's why its restricted to a event only Pokemon. Otherwise as a normal legendary, it would pretty much be unstoppable.

Also, I forgot to mention that it learns it at lvl 100 =D

Dee Trier March 26th, 2007 9:58 PM

You mean by ticket like deoxys/lugia/ho-oh
Lv learn that move doesn't matter because I always use lv 100 pokemon to battle with my friend.
Btw is it really better than mew two? I mean mewtwo has high speed and high SA even in other stat it lost to arceus
.

Ayano Katagiri March 26th, 2007 10:01 PM

Kind of. It's similar I believe.

I would say its better, SA and speed wont help too much if its overpowered too easily. They do say that Aruseus is the best Pokemon ever...

Dee Trier March 26th, 2007 10:10 PM

But still need good user and moveset... Even a kyorge would lost to shedinja without ancient power or hail (which is almost never used as kyorge's moveset). Wonder if shedy could do the same to it

Innagadadavida March 29th, 2007 10:57 PM

Here's an interesting fact. According to Bulbapedia, Arceus' Pokedex reads as follows:
Pokémon Diamond: It is painted in myths as the Pokémon who used its thousands of skills to create the world.

Pokémon Pearl: It is described in myths as the first Pokémon being born when the world is still in the state of complete emptiness.

It hints that this is the creation Pokemon. But it also says that that is considered to be a myth. So, that makes this Pokemon just an ordinary legendary. It's not actually PROVEN to be the creator.

Of course, I'm sure it would be impossible with earthly technology to capture the god of the Pokemon world.

Well Arcerus is an Event pokemon so the only way to get one is by going to a nintendo event or by cheating with ARDS/GS and you can get Arceus in Pearl too but by the ways I just explained already.

Paranoia March 30th, 2007 4:46 AM

You can only get Arceus by an event. So you won't be able to have your team until then.

A party of legendaries... How original.

Ho-oh arabia March 30th, 2007 11:54 AM

hey Innagadadavida, isn't the point of CATCHING AND RAISING legendaries and then using them in your party? any way, thanks for the answer. Does anyone know of this event for the US and since i just bought ARDS today, could anyone tell me the encounter code for Arceus for the NA version of Daimond?
Thanx in advance
Ho-oh

I was just saying. Legendaries are BORING. Sure they're strong, but a party with average joe Pokemon that have been raised to be strong is much more original and respectable. Not to mention EVERYBODY has the Legendaries.

Forever Forum March 30th, 2007 2:43 PM

As stated previously, it's about the plates that you attach to Arceus. Nothing magical(actually it is).

Ho-oh arabia March 30th, 2007 3:28 PM

So, iv'e got to get arceus AND these plates? would anyone know which plate is the best?
Thanx
Ho-oh
