Arceus

Arceus is a Legendary Pokémon, number 493 in the National Pokédex and on GPX+. It is classified as a Very Rare Pokémon, which suggests that obtaining one is relatively difficult. However, owing to the myths surrounding it in the video games, it is even more difficult to obtain than the rest of the Very Rare Pokémon.

Availability

For a long time, Arceus' availability was extremely limited. Unlike the other Very Rare Pokémon, which can be obtained through various other means, Arceus could only be encountered and obtained through the Lab - at rates much lower than those of other Very Rare Pokémon - and as the Grand Prize from a number of Contests, primarily Dress Up or graphic design contests as well as other special contests that the GPX+ team host. In the latter case, an Arceus egg is placed directly into the user's party when space is made available.

19 users have hatched an Arceus egg originally obtained in one of the above ways. Among the known owners, in order of date obtained, are:

In April 2015, Arceus' Exploration was finally released. Winners of the March 2015 Shiny Hunt received one of his 17 Plates; anyone in possession of a Plate can embark on Death of the World, a difficult exploration in the vein of That Burning Desire! Upon completing the Exploration, the user receives an Arceus Egg, which hatches with the typing and sprite corresponding to the Plate they received. Currently, each Arceus type has its own Dex entry, and there is no known way to change among the different forms.
