What if Arceus was ALL types?

[Grievous 3D]

Origin
Arceus is particularly based on a creator deity, present in many world cultures. Arceus's stance and general form are similar to Egyptian bull and calf idols, particularly Apis. Based on its appearance and attack movements in the 3D games, Arceus may be modeled after a horse or llama. The arc on its back may be inspired by the Dharmachakra, or the Bhavacakra, used to represent a concept similar to the reincarnation in Hinduism.

The conception of the first god might be influenced by the Shinto gods Kunitokotachi and Amenominakanushi, who summoned Izanami and Izanagi to create Japan with the spear. It may also be a reference to the qilin, a Chinese mythical creature. Its myth is nearly identical to the Cosmic egg, found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Arceus may also represent or be inspired by the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, who, in Buddhism, is either pictured with eleven heads and one thousand arms (the latter of which is mentioned in Arceus's Pokédex entry) or in a white, four-armed manifestation (which could look similar to Normal-type Arceus).

And yes I just copied this from Bulbapedia because I was too lazy to write it all out.

Wow...Okay...

I'm more of a Groudon fan myself...

Why Extreme Speed and Quick Attack? You are forgetting Arceus is all types, and thus a ghost type.

As mentioned in the video one of the best ways to beat it is to use a Zygarde. It is weak to Rock and Fairy but if you take away its flying, it becomes 3 times weak to Ground. Thousand Arrows does just that. In the event you can't knock it out in one hit (for some reason) you have a Mega Diancie in your back pocket. Also using a Salazzle to poison it is worth doing first. Its ability completely ignores Steel typing and you would be able to land it.

I know the guy is corny and the puns are bad, but didn't any of you watch the video? lol

Gonna be honest, no I didn't watch the video because I have seen this type of question on different sites and forums and people have given a bunch of different answers to it. Such as the strategy I mentioned, F.E.A.R., using a max speed Mega-Gengar with Perish song and waste turns, and some more.

I guess his way is more straight forward in using just 3 things essentially to take it down. I only asked because people were mentioning using extreme speed/quick attack. Because it is ghost, like Soli mentioned, that would not work.

Oh right, I actually went back and watched the video and his way is just as good, but I just have seen way too many discussions about this that I already knew several different ways. Honestly, I forgot all about the Ghost, which is sad because it is my favorite type, but you can use Sucker Punch instead and work just as well, and to add to what Solidus said Endeavor wouldn't hit as well because of the Ghost typing, so F.E.A.R would be useless. Though after talking about Pokemon now, i kind of want to get back in it, lol.

I got back into it in 2016 I think it was. After not being into it since I was in like 8th grade lol

I kind of go through spells, I guess you can say where like one minute I am really into it and the next I am bored with it. I was done with Pokemon for a while until X and Y came out and then fell off and then got back into it because Sun and Moon, and fell out due to Sun and Moon, lol.

 

[MildlyUpsetGerbil]

none of which have anything to do
with real or fictional animals.

I don't believe you.

Endeavor wouldn't hit as well

True, but Foresight can change that. And Swellow can technically hit a Quick Attack since it has the Scrappy ability.

...didn't any of you watch the video? lol

No, and that's because...

the guy is corny and the puns are bad

Not gonna lie, I totally forgot about that move and the ability Scrappy as well. I really need to go back to pokemon now, lol.

I don't know if any Pokemon with the Scrappy ability can learn Endeavor though, so I'd at the very least probably have to bump my crew up to three in order to take down Arceus.

Yeah, Taillow and Swellow can learn Endeavor by level up and both have Scrappy so they would be the best bet if you use that route.

What if....Arceus has Toxic, and, due to the poison typing, hits it no matter what?

I doubt most people would carry Toxic on an Arceus.
