==Origin==
==Origin==
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.

{{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.

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.
