Stats and Stat Score
Arceus has 124 HP, 128 speed and a 1.36x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.
Compared with the whole roster, its HP is among the best on the roster, its speed is among the best on the roster and its attack is well above average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 82.6, which puts it at rank 28 overall, rank 5 of 107 among Sinnoh Pokemon and rank 3 of 120 Normal-types. That makes Arceus the third best Normal-type pick on stats alone. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.
On the full Pokedex ranking Arceus sits next to Rampardos one place above it and Regieleki one place below it.

Arceus moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Arceus starts every run with Tackle: charges in an arc at everything in front of you.
The level-up cards can then offer 8 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
Weaknesses and resistances
Arceus takes extra damage from Fighting (1.6x). It resists Ghost (0.3x). The remaining 16 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Arceus are the ones whose first type is Fighting. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Normal moves do not hit harder just because Arceus shares the type.
How to get Arceus
Arceus is part of the Sinnoh banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 15 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Arceus a 0.1% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 653 pulls to land this particular one.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Arceus exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Arceus as an enemy
Arceus never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.
As a legendary it can also be the opponent in a rift. The game picks a rift legendary at random and favors the ones you have not beaten yet, then builds an arena from one of its types: Eternal Meadow (Normal). Its attack set is a ground slam, a leap onto your position, a fan of shots, and falling danger zones. See the rifts guide and the legendaries guide.
