Arceus

The arceus (Arseus in original Japanese language versions) is an alpaca/llama-like legendary Pokémon that premieres in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. An arceus is referenced as the "Original One." It is said in a legend from a book called "The Original Story" that The arceus was born from an egg in a vortex of pure chaos. After it was born, it created two beings of time and space from itself, and then three more beings. Those five creatures created matter and spirit, while Arceus went to sleep. This story can be found in the Canalave Library, and can also be told from the various plates the player encounters in the story. It is an equine being with a golden wheel around its abdomen. This wheel, when viewed from the front, has an "A" like design in the middle.

The arceus makes its first appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS. Its exclusive move, Judgement, works hand in hand with the various elemental plates. An arceus can be found in the Hall of Origin. To access the Hall of Origin, a player must play the Azure Flute on Spear Pillar. The Azure Flute will be obtainable in a future Nintendo Event, but there is no word about if and when the event will happen.

 * A ??? Arceus Sprite was created, but whether in the future this form will be avaliable is yet to be confirmed.
