"Arceus-fighting was particularly excellent because it was one of the best answers to Extreme Killer Arceus" Arceus: Ah, that explains it, only I could do this much damage to myself.
If Arceus had that ability in the main series (combined with Multitype), I don't know how broken it would be, because it is a perfect combination in defensive and offensive terms.
@@BLUEBOYISLEDGE In general, the effect of ignoring immunities and resistances turns any Arceus move into an improved version of Thousand Arrows. for example a Zacian-crowned would have no resistance to the normal type making him super weak at extreme speed
Conquest Arceus is one of the strongest Arceus versions in any Pokémon game due to the sheer power of Omnipotent. Passive healing, levitate, bonus damage, ignore typing, ignore abilities, evasiveness boosts, negate evasion, and more. Utterly absurd ability. I pray that we get to experience the might of Omnipotent Arceus in Legends.
My favorite competitive pokemon moment will always be that screenshot where a player named their Arceus-Flying "Arceus-Steel" and their opponent using Earthquake on it to no effect Not even trickery is beyond Arceus' domain.
I personally pronounce it Ar-cee-us, but I hear a lot of Ar-key-us or Ar-kay-us too. An interesting one is Ar-zeus (like zeus, the greek god). Given how many different possible name origins the word contains I don't really think there is a definitive correct answer.
Merry Christmas FSG! Man, it was really UNFORTUNATE how Abra and Eevee were banished from the Trophy Garden because they disobeyed Arceus telling them to not eat the Oran Berries there! But come on! We all knew Giratina was behind it; he even shapeshifted into an Ekans to persuade them into eating in the first place!
@@milesstorzillo3013 I was referencing the story of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden. The basic gist is that a man and a woman, Adam and Eve, were living there and God told them they could reside there as long as they didn't give into the sin of temptation by eating fruit from the tree of life nor the tree of the knowledge of good & evil there. However, Satan, while under the guise of a snake, was able to persuade them to eat the forbidden fruit anyway and for sinning against God's will, the two humans were banished. It's one of the more well-known religious stories, especially in the Book of Genesis. And Giratina is often seen as Pokemon's equivalent of the Devil, so I just used Abra and Eevee since their names are close enough to Adam and Eve.
Funnily enough I think because of how many viable Arceus forms there are, it actually had a higher usage in Ubers than even primal Groupon if you add up all of its forms together
That makes no sense. Every Arceus form represents a completely different Pokemon, so you're technically adding up usages of unrelated mons and comparing it to a single mon
May God himself reign over all of the competitive scene, clearly, the greatest/most versatile pokemon ever added into the game. Merry Christmas everyone and thank the god himself Arceus for bringing holidays upon us! Edit: POG THE VIDEO GOT TRENDING IN GAMING
It's actually fitting Arceus be done on Christmas 😅 Speaking of which, Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄😁 And if you don't celebrate it, then have a great day regardless :]
Anybody else reading this as arceus making more and more broken ubers until power creep catches up to him for the sole purpose of being allowed to play
Can we just appreciate the fact we before Arceus uses judgment on a Pokémon in the hgss section, all we see for a frame or two is Bidoof’s majestic face looking down on the mortals it created?
Ah yes, the Defog buff that made me think Arceus was a complete waste of a pokemon slot! I remember thinking this before hyper offense in ORAS hit me like literally God's Wrath
I have no idea if they encounter Arceus in the anime, but imagining what he'd be like would be insane. He'd be unstoppable because no matter what comes at him, he just shifts type at will to counter them. He's literally god. He has broken the number one rule of game balance - HE'S GOOD AT EVERYTHING
When Gen 5 Ubers had to use chip damage to try to kill Arceus, you know how scary it was to get even just in one boost. Congrats, Arceus, you scared the whole meta game especially if the opposing team wasn’t prepared for it
I'd like to see the history of Latios for the new year. I know it was always mentioned in the Latias video but Latios needs its own vid as Gen 8 gave it a new spotlight as it could actually face off against Steel Types.
The God of pokemon should be strong enough to be in the anything goes tier and changed effect to Multitype (my suggestion is it acts the way it does in Legends acreus when it holds the Legends plate but as its ability) HP: 150 Attack: 150 Defence: 150 Sp Atk: 150 Sp Def: 150 Speed: 150 And have access to every move in the game
Came out swinging as the strongest Pokemon in the game, created several Pokemon that were arguably stronger than it, just for shits and giggles, and still always had a form to keep said stronger Pokemon in check. Textbook mad lad.
I just realized that judgement is base 100 power so that when a plate is held it changes the judgement type and boosts it’s power by 20% to make it an effective base 120 attack to match its 120 base stats 🤯
@@williamcox632 thanks! It’s the game that really got me into JRPGs. I probably like some other games more than the OG Xenoblade now, but Xenoblade 1 will always hold a very special place in my heart.
@@mrbigglezworth42 Maybe he's just bored, being the God of all pokemon but only watching from afar can be quite dreary, seeing how there was only ever 1 movie in which he did anything/had anything happen to him
can y'all stop the argument? both Mega Ray and Arceus are amazing by themselves Mega Ray with D-Dance at +1 easily OHKO's Fairy Arceus with Dragon Ascent, or Focus Sash Mega Ray easy 2 shots Fairy Arceus. Also, Fairy Arceus is evidently faster, and if unboosted M.Ray without sash uses Dragon Ascent, it is 100% chance to die to Judgement Fairy both are good in their ways.
Considering that it's literally the god of the pokemon world, i'm not surprised that Arceus was so busted despite all the things done in the later gens
Well it still remained busted.The changes are basically marketing , like Nintendo investing in your desire to see your fav legendary actually being the strongest monster in the game for some period of time till someone else's takes its place.That way they maintain a stable number of customers whereas you may feel or not feel like it to continue with every new genre.
Well, turns out having huge stats (with one of the highest-at least at the time-averages) with no weak links in your stat spread, massive versatility in your movepool and even the element of surprise and uncertainty even after team preview, would let you do whatever before the opponent realizes what you're up to would make a pretty good, future-proofed pokey man
I knew Arceus had some great stats, but given his reliance on his plates, I figured he would have been crippled but I guess not. Fun fact, if Arceus was every type, like in the lore, he'd still be weak to Rock-type moves.
@@seanhearn9616 Only 3 types resist rock (Ground, Steel, and Fighting), while 4 are weak to it (Flying, Ice, Fire, Bug), so 3 cancel out but one remains, so it's a 2x weakness.
Arceus in 2008 - the next Mew, a mythical pokemon that Nintendo/GF pretended to never exist in their marketing and hardly gave it away in events. Arceus in 2021 - anyway here, have six of them ready to battle online.
I was just going through legendaries I have from events on my 3ds yesterday and saw I had a lvl 100 arceus just waiting for me. And then watching this video I was thinking "darn I want another one". Then you reminded me that legends was coming out with this comment and that means i get to get another one and I am actually a bit excited for that game. Thank you.
@@AllesZuSpaet53You need Legends to get Arceus in BDSP. On top of that, I think the regional dex needs to be completed in both games...? I know Arceus' side of the deal is catching every mon in Hisui.
I find that surreal that a Pokemon got banned to Anything Goes in an older generation even before the tier was created. I thought the tier was just a gen 6-onward thing (and even then, only for Mega Rayquaza).
And it was - Arceus was kind of on a limbo where it was classified as an Uber on the Smogdex but banned from there too, so it just had no tier in the end I guess. It was only formally declared AG years later
Something to consider: If Power Creep goes on as it is now, there may be a day where Arceus dropped out of Ubers and can now be used in the same tier as Quagsire.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus: Hmm... seems like God's not strong enough yet. Let's give it a plate that CHANGES TYPES DEPENDING ON WHAT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE OPPONENT.
With the legend plate potentially coming soon, we could see a set of judgment, calm mind, recover and then a choice of either substitute/iron defense/refresh. A set that’s nearly impossible to kill but kills nearly everything. Extreme killer arceus is a thing of the past, soon everyone will fear GOD KILLER ARCEUS.
Hopefully the competitive meta gives him much more I feel that Arceus is an underrated god in my opinion. It should be in AG And hopefully pokémon legends do it justice or give it a new form that unleashes its full potential.
@@gergelyzoltansarkany8930 Basically, the Legend Plate changes Arceus's type whenever a different target is selected with Judgement, the type is determined if it's best suited offensively and defensively against the selected target. So in short, Judgement will always have STAB and a type advantage.
@@michaelgum97 with a plate like that who the hell needs coverage? Judgement basically acts as THE coverage. Definitely can see Arceus running 3 support moves with Judgement. Recover with Calm Mind/Nasty Plot… giving boosts and longevity… that’s scary and the fourth move could be anything from hazards to Taunt to Refresh or whatever the hell the player wants
I just want it to be buffed. Multi-attack is 120 now. Judgment should be 120 base to fit the theme. It’s a mythical Pokémon that’s banned in tournaments so it should be allowed to be very broken.
@@skeetermania3202 still feels wrong, and again it’s already banned from a ban list, It’s not like it’d hurt anything unless AG is supposed to be considered a real tier?
Remember, Arceus is only using one of his plates to give you peasants a chance, hell he takes no plates when you catch him cuz he actually wants to hang out -not totally because he accidentally lost them in random locations across the region- The fact Judgement only has a 100 base power means hes only using like 1/infinite of his true power
Gen 5's coverage is spot-on. Gen 5 was an extremely defense-oriented, war of attrition Meta-game throughout the tiers. Passive damage from spikes/rocks, Poison, Leech Seeds, Burns and Sandstorms. But yeah, when you have THOSE base stats and a move-pool only rivaled by Mew and Smeargle, sprinkling in the ability to become essentially any needed Mono-type. Arceus pushed passed his new difficulty and showed just how versatile throwing literal God in the mix was.
Just imagine if the Legends Arceus ability was implemented into the core series. Become any type WHILE holding a different item. God can't help you, because the one you're against IS God.
Damn, I'll never get tired of watching Pokémon Battle Revolution's animation for Arceus' judgement move. It truly does feel like God smiting down sinners from heaven!
Before I even watch this, I already know False Swipe will be mentioning Extreme Killer Arceus with Life Orb, Swords Dance, Extreme Speed, Shadow Claw, and Earthquake. A thing of nightmares.
The most memoral thing about arceus is when he destroyed Dialga, Palkia, Giratina in movie 12 while screaming his favorite catchphrase, "You all shall be brought to justice"
Maybe one day a pokemon movie will be released thats "Godzilla: Kill All Monsters" but just Arceas going around annihilating his strongest creations. He will of course slap Silvally into the Sydney Opera House
The whole other Arceus types checking one another kinda makes me curious how "creative"/hyper optimized an all Arceus single/doubles format would be, only restriction being all Arceus types be unique.
Most likely. Having 120 base stat around the board make him extremely hard to deal with already, and only reason he is designated to being a bull over sweep most of the time because of his typing, being stick to one type making him easier to deal with. Legend Plate solves that problem by allowing him to always be type effective against opponent’s mon, so with Legend Plate, Arceus become a decently bulky sweeper that can out speed and out gun most mons.
A Constantly shifting type Legendary that Deals 120 Base damage with GUARENTEED SUPEREFFECTIVE HITS EVERY TURN... Yeah, busted, the only thing holding him back is he can't hold an Item...which isn't that bad when you look at Mega Pokemon and Z Moves.
Well this was a pleasant surprise to see. Merry Christmas to FSG and all of what you do in these videos. Also since next Sunday is the 1st and I don’t think a video is coming tomorrow, I want to take this time to say thank you for those competitive videos. It’s been a great year and I’m looking forward to what next year has to offer
@@ezradianadieuveille4676 yeah but since FSG released a video today, I highly doubt we’re getting one tomorrow too. Especially with a video covering a mon like Arceus
Arceus has higher usage in 7.Gen AG though. More versatile, more reliable, and barely weaker than Mega Rayquaza with the offensive sets. Arceus sweats profusely, but wins.
It's finally here. The Pokemon God itself, Arceus. And man, do I miss Pokemon Conquest and the Omnipotent ability it had there. That ability let it do normal effective damage against rock, steel, and ghost types, gave it recovery every turn (Life Force), let it sometimes dodge attacks (Instinct), and let it climb up high places (Mountaineer).
Ah yes, Christmas, best known for being Arceus' son's birthday. But instead of a birthday party for the son, let's celebrate how strong Arceus is! Jokes aside, I've been lomg awating this day! Merry christmas to everyone at FSG!🎄
It's definitely an effect of the lack of VGC, along with it being absent from gen 8 and mostly absent from gen 4, meaning it really only has gen 5, 6, and 7 where it exists.
There's also a bit of a power creep effect going on over time. As the game progresses, more and more niches that Arceus CAN fill end up better filled by something else. Like, a really good case is Arceus Steel. Arceus Steel was incredibly popular gens 4-6, but during gen 7, Necrozma-Dusk Wings kinda stepped in to a lot of the roles Arceus Steel held. Arceus Steel is pretty much only worth using if you really need the speed, or want to compress Defog or some other specific utility move onto your bulky Steel post Dusk Mane.
@@jourdanfarquharson4697 sadly I think it’s intentional. Bug has been thrown a bone precisely once, with Dark type, but came at the cost of its extremely valuable Supereffective against poison, And Steel and Fairy dunk on it too
The problem there is that Ghost and Dark deal super effective damage against psychics too and are much better types defensively and in terms of utility.
legends confirms one thing: the arceus we know, powerful as it may be to us... is a tiny piece of the original one. hell, arceus is just what we call this thing. this tiny piece has been destroying everything. even if there might be stronger than this piece, the true arceus is something so powerful we mortals can never grasp its true power.
@@23Raind lol no. Tf this is no longer headcanon, it was literally confirmed. In the description of the last mission, it was literally written "obtain a piece of Arceus" also, given the lore behind Arceus, its rings that obviously implies restrictions to its power plus the fact that its true name is not even Arceus, its fair to say that it was referring to the entity itself not the plates. You're probably the only one who believed that 😂
normal has never been a bad type, with mew & mewtwo banned many gen 1 OU teams featured 3 Normal Types & 3 Psychic types, sometimes 3 Normal Types & 1 Psychic type with 1 Ground & 1 Zapdos , gen 2 was ruled over by Snorlax, & Skarmbliss was obiquitous in generations 3 & 4, gen 5 brought Arceus & eviolite Chansey into play & no cap in gen 6's limited time Inverted types formats evioloite Munchlax was a major threat, while gen 7's VGC rules changes brought Snorlax back into viability . . . though if you did remove Arceus & the Snorlax & Chansey lines from the game you'd only be left with the sad tale of the fall of Tauros & Togekiss abandoning the Normal Type to become a Fairy
@@Marcusjnmc I knew some normal types were strong, but since Snorlax was dethroned it has slowly fallen off and is now pretty rare in competitive. Gen 1 was the peak of normal types, but Gen 2 was mostly Snorlax, in Gen 3 Normal’s only role was special tank (Snorlax and Blissey, the most common, were special walls although Blissey was more pure wall than Lax), in Gen 4 it was mostly Blissey (in early meta and still viable later on) and Clefable (Clefable is a new addition to the meta, it would be OU but tier changes closed due to Gen 5 when Clef rose, also happened to take Blissey’s role), and then Normal types kinda fell off in Gen 5 (Eviolite Chansey and Blissey had limited usage and Clefable was RU with no comeback like Gen 4), Gen 6 was the same thing although Chansey rose and stole Blissey’s role entirely (Eviolite MUNCHLAX though? I thought that thing fell off since Gen 4 LC) and Gen 7 was mostly the same as gen 6 (except the Snorlax VGC thing). Gen 8 Blissey swapped with Chansey yet again but still same role. Outside of a couple exceptions, Normal was a rare type due to a lack of offensive presence against key types and had no resists except Ghost (only especially common in Gen 8). Please let me know if I missed key Pokemon (I skipped Arceus because it’s an Uber and it had that ESpeed SDance combo). But yeah normal type is basically Snorlax and Chansey lines, Arceus, and then Tauros’s fall and Togekiss (ruler of early VGC) changing to a fairy type before it reached it’s peak viability (Maybe it’s proof Normal is worse because switching helped Togekiss but uh…) (It was Gen 4 OU but that was short-lived)
@@0RatedChess Inverse is a very different format, eviolite bulk up Munchlax was a monster there, it's only weakness is ghost & it hits ghost types super effectively with nothing resisting it, it was a win condition on it's own.
Lol I remember one guy on this channel called Arceus' stat and movepool "disappointing". I hope he's watching this. For real tho, it was Arceus who started the "banned from Uber" thing first, it was Arceus who is considered the second best Pokemon in ORAS AG, and it was Arceus who can check even Mega Rayquaza, but people who never watched or played competitively just conveniently forget about the True Lord. He's one of the most feared sweeper, one of the best spin-blocker, one of the sturdiest wall. He's not just the jack-of-all-trade, He's the master-of-all. Now I hope people would appreciate Arceus' impact on the competitive single scene more, and stop saying stuffs like "bUt oNLy mEgA raY hAS bEeN baNneD fRoM ubEr"
Mega Ray is also highly overrated. Actually in the 6 gen, at one point Arceus-Normal was considered better than Mega Ray. So in Gen 6 Mega Ray wasn’t even that much more overpowered than anything else. Otherwise all other megas would have been made unviable yet that was not the case as Mega Gengar was still a really good mega despite the opportunity cost of not running Mega Ray. Mega Ray still had to compete with Arceus-Normal, who had amazing bulk and recovery and damage, and Darkrai, who was very scary without sleep clause. In Gen 7 Mega Ray was the firm “best Pokémon” because Darkrai, and Arceus-Normal got worse and Mega Ray’s checks such as Xerneas and Klefki also got much worse.
@@garlicbreadloaf so, after putting some thought to it, I think I understand why Zacian-C is busted. This is kinda like the Fairy Type as a whole in gen 6, when they were created to counter the best Type in the game at that time: Dragon. Consequently that made Fairy the next OP type, culminating in Xerneas being one of the best Pokemon ever created. In gen 7 they made Solgaleo and Necrozma DM, maybe as a way to try and balance Xerneas, and now Zacian-C and Zamazenta-C. But due to that, they screwed up again, in the effort of making a Pokemon that can beat Xerneas, they made a Pokemon that can also beat everything below Xerneas, making it the next busted one. Behemoth Blade is just Necrozma DM's Sunsteel Strike, but coming off from a Pokemon with much better speed, typing AND Intrepid Sword. Good job GF
Probably a product of it's limited competitive story (it's status as mythical bans them from VGC) as well as the fact that FSG didn't go into big detail with every single form, just the most relevant ones from each Gen.
I think there are two official pronounciations: - "ar-key-us" - "ar-see-us" But the second one isn't used as much because the "ar-see" part sounds like "arse", so "ass" in British English. There's also "ar-koos" but like... it's a joke that is actually as omnipresent in Pokemon fandom as an actual God is (in monotheism religions)
@@Oscarus4250 the first pronunciation is also what they used in the movie so that has "canon" backing for it too. That said Ar-see-us is closer to the japanese pronunciation (アルセウス - A-ru-se-u-su) so the 2nd is technically also the "canon" way to pronounce it too (if you're a weeb)
@@grey-c8138 Incorrect. By this standard, the true pronunciation would be with a soft “c”, since Silvally’s ability in Japanese is the “AR System”. I don’t care what anyone else says at this point. Canonically It’s Arceus with a soft “c”, not a hard “k.”
And keep in mind: Arceus is holding back a LOT. In Pokemon Conquest-a criminally underrated crossover between Pokemon and the Nobunaga's Ambition series of strategy RPGs-Arceus is held over the player's head as a McGuffin, essentially being able to alter reality at will for anyone that can earn an audience with the deity, provided that they prove themselves in battle. It's like Shenron if all the rules were there just because Shenron felt like it. And when you recruit Arceus, it more than lives up to the hype. Its ability alone gives it passive regen, a free dodge chance, and the ability to just ignore its enemies' typings when they're inconvenient to deal neutral damage instead. Yes. It even bypasses immunities. Now imagine what would happen if Game Freak released an Arceus with that ability, and be thankful for the mercy of Arceus.
And in Legends Arceus we know now that the base 720 Arceus we've used is only a part of it. They just wanted to give all their children a chance to have fun and join in.
You know, I've always thought it would be fun to have an Arceus draft gamemode where each player picks six of the types and they build an Arceus for each type and then battle them.
So it turns out you do not capture Arceus. Arceus just gives you a part of it (and gave himself those stats because he wanted). You never really catch God. God just allows you to use a mere fraction of its power. I love Legends Arceus. They give Arceus it’s place as the one and only God.
@@amoxity6204 i still think it would be too strong for OU, Ekiller being able to basically revenge kill anything not immune to it, CM Darkceus being able to beat stall once Unaware Clefable is down, and it would be way too unpredictable courtesy of its ability and tons of sets. Even with Ev Limitations there's no way it wouldn't be in Ubers still.
Maybe some formes, like bug or psychic, could be OU. They would be very comparable to Mew i think. But other formes are more on the lines of Zamazenta-C : too versatile, hard to break through, strong, very fast, vast moovepool, ability to select their checks... Bad types arceus might be acceptable though, especially if they have bad stabs too. Arceus bug especially since it cannot run boots. But very unsure since moveset diversity would most likely be too favorable for arceus user thus making it broken.
@@echogaia1708 it will basically be a slightly stronger silvally with 100s instead of 95s in the stats and wider movepool, would that much of a difference send it straight to Ubers?
@@amoxity6204 i would still say yes, just cause it has a way wider movepool than Silvally's, can basically invest 100 evs in every stat, have two way of boosting stats, can restore its health, can just sweep things with +2 Extreme Speeds etc... etc... Silvally would never come close to the versatility of Arceus.
If Arceus was Normal or Dark, Shadow Rider would be screwed like hell due to resisting (or being immune to) Astral Barrage and the only super effective (and reasonably solid) coverage attack is Pollen Buff for Dark (Double Kick doesn't count as an "solid" coverage) Shadow Rider IS faster than Arceus (unless holding Choice Scarf, then Ghost Arceus could wreck Calyrex), buf it needs to OHKO it unless Calyrex will faint (it isn't as bulky as you would think it is; especially in Ubers) Ice Rider can be blocked by any Arceus that would resist the incoming Glacial Lance (especially Steel since it also resists Psychic, and Judgement would be supereffective against Ice Rider; of course that is true to Fire too, excluding resisting Psychic). But Ice Rider has a Ground attacks to temper, especially High Horsepower. But since it's quite slow, that could be used against it. And Zacian... Fire Arceus resists both STABs, plus the only coverage for Fire types that Zacian has is... Dig. Yeah, that's all. Just Dig. So, welp... there aren't many Fire-type walls in the Ubers metagame (if there are some at all), but Arceus-Fire could serve as a perfect counter to Zacian (Alpha Pokemon knows Earthquake, of course)
It would be an okay shadow rider check but easily worn into pollen puff range from specs or setup variants, although nice against scarf. It wouldn't do much against zacian. The only form that would take all the coverage zac ran would be fire, and being stealth rock weak ruins that. It would be a solid support mon but I think in general it would be too easily revenged to be a good sweeper, and would likely fall back into mostly suppory roles.
Technically Silvally is a "man-made-god", in that the Aether Foundation was simply trying to replicate Arceus' power. Arceus Jr. would either be the Creation Trio, or Mew
@@roninwarriorsfan I dunno. There are some Gen 6 Pokémon who can definitely have a decently long video now that we’re two years into Gen 8. Some examples include Aegislash, Noivern, Diggersby, and Sylveon.

@Ahmad Adnan just out of curiosity: have you watched the video ?
Funnily enough I think because of how many viable Arceus forms there are, it actually had a higher usage in Ubers than even primal Groupon if you add up all of its forms together
That makes no sense. Every Arceus form represents a completely different Pokemon, so you're technically adding up usages of unrelated mons and comparing it to a single mon

Speaking of which, Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄😁 And if you don't celebrate it, then have a great day regardless :]
This is a godlike christmas gift
Arceus: did you really think the just because you have higher base stats that i couldn't wall you regardless
I can imagine Kellen overlooking the Arceus video, saw that it's just barely above 30 minutes, and said to himself, "Hold on, something's not right."
Anybody else reading this as arceus making more and more broken ubers until power creep catches up to him for the sole purpose of being allowed to play
basicly imagine arceus having a better protain ability
Can we just appreciate the fact we before Arceus uses judgment on a Pokémon in the hgss section, all we see for a frame or two is Bidoof’s majestic face looking down on the mortals it created?
Wonder what kind of effect the Legend Plate will have if/when it gets brought over to the normal battling system
As it should.
Should change the title to "How GODLY was Arceus ACTUALLY?"

Merry Christmas to Kellen and the FSG Crew
and thank you so much for this surprise of an episode
This was as great as expected. Fun to see how Arceus really lived up to the legend.
Ah yes, the Defog buff that made me think Arceus was a complete waste of a pokemon slot! I remember thinking this before hyper offense in ORAS hit me like literally God's Wrath
I have no idea if they encounter Arceus in the anime, but imagining what he'd be like would be insane. He'd be unstoppable because no matter what comes at him, he just shifts type at will to counter them. He's literally god. He has broken the number one rule of game balance - HE'S GOOD AT EVERYTHING
Arceus got beat by a small comet, ryquaza destroys meteors for living.
When Gen 5 Ubers had to use chip damage to try to kill Arceus, you know how scary it was to get even just in one boost.
Congrats, Arceus, you scared the whole meta game especially if the opposing team wasn’t prepared for it
"Necrozma used it's full force Z move!
It doesn't affect Arceus"
What an absolute badass
Been anticipating this video for a long time, and it did not disappoint. Good stuff you guys
Thank you for this amazing Christmas. 💕
I'd love a video that covers the new developments in the new BDSP meta.
So Arceus was the first TRUE Anything Goes Pokemon
I'd like to see the history of Latios for the new year. I know it was always mentioned in the Latias video but Latios needs its own vid as Gen 8 gave it a new spotlight as it could actually face off against Steel Types.
I was doing a playground of soul silver ,and my togepi used metronome that turned into judgment
Love you FalseSwipe! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.

Also, Fairy Arceus is evidently faster, and if unboosted M.Ray without sash uses Dragon Ascent, it is 100% chance to die to Judgement Fairy
both are good in their ways.
Considering that it's literally the god of the pokemon world, i'm not surprised that Arceus was so busted despite all the things done in the later gens
His domination was told in the book of Wobbuffet that he would go old testament on ubers.
Well it still remained busted.The changes are basically marketing , like Nintendo investing in your desire to see your fav legendary actually being the strongest monster in the game for some period of time till someone else's takes its place.That way they maintain a stable number of customers whereas you may feel or not feel like it to continue with every new genre.
To be honest as the god of the gods, it deserved to be uber
Well, turns out having huge stats (with one of the highest-at least at the time-averages) with no weak links in your stat spread, massive versatility in your movepool and even the element of surprise and uncertainty even after team preview, would let you do whatever before the opponent realizes what you're up to would make a pretty good, future-proofed pokey man
Considering that it's supposed to be the "god" of pokemon, I say it's nowhere near busted enough.

Gen 5's coverage is spot-on. Gen 5 was an extremely defense-oriented, war of attrition Meta-game throughout the tiers. Passive damage from spikes/rocks, Poison, Leech Seeds, Burns and Sandstorms.

Legend plate can change Judgement to supereffective move.
Most likely. Having 120 base stat around the board make him extremely hard to deal with already, and only reason he is designated to being a bull over sweep most of the time because of his typing, being stick to one type making him easier to deal with. Legend Plate solves that problem by allowing him to always be type effective against opponent’s mon, so with Legend Plate, Arceus become a decently bulky sweeper that can out speed and out gun most mons.
100% AG tier
A Constantly shifting type Legendary that Deals 120 Base damage with GUARENTEED SUPEREFFECTIVE HITS EVERY TURN...

@@Marcusjnmc I knew some normal types were strong, but since Snorlax was dethroned it has slowly fallen off and is now pretty rare in competitive. Gen 1 was the peak of normal types, but Gen 2 was mostly Snorlax, in Gen 3 Normal’s only role was special tank (Snorlax and Blissey, the most common, were special walls although Blissey was more pure wall than Lax), in Gen 4 it was mostly Blissey (in early meta and still viable later on) and Clefable (Clefable is a new addition to the meta, it would be OU but tier changes closed due to Gen 5 when Clef rose, also happened to take Blissey’s role), and then Normal types kinda fell off in Gen 5 (Eviolite Chansey and Blissey had limited usage and Clefable was RU with no comeback like Gen 4), Gen 6 was the same thing although Chansey rose and stole Blissey’s role entirely (Eviolite MUNCHLAX though? I thought that thing fell off since Gen 4 LC) and Gen 7 was mostly the same as gen 6 (except the Snorlax VGC thing). Gen 8 Blissey swapped with Chansey yet again but still same role. Outside of a couple exceptions, Normal was a rare type due to a lack of offensive presence against key types and had no resists except Ghost (only especially common in Gen 8). Please let me know if I missed key Pokemon (I skipped Arceus because it’s an Uber and it had that ESpeed SDance combo).
But yeah normal type is basically Snorlax and Chansey lines, Arceus, and then Tauros’s fall and Togekiss (ruler of early VGC) changing to a fairy type before it reached it’s peak viability (Maybe it’s proof Normal is worse because switching helped Togekiss but uh…) (It was Gen 4 OU but that was short-lived)

@@garlicbreadloaf yeah, the most recent busted Legendary. Honestly I don't know what GF was thinking when designing it
Mega Ray is also highly overrated. Actually in the 6 gen, at one point Arceus-Normal was considered better than Mega Ray. So in Gen 6 Mega Ray wasn’t even that much more overpowered than anything else. Otherwise all other megas would have been made unviable yet that was not the case as Mega Gengar was still a really good mega despite the opportunity cost of not running Mega Ray. Mega Ray still had to compete with Arceus-Normal, who had amazing bulk and recovery and damage, and Darkrai, who was very scary without sleep clause. In Gen 7 Mega Ray was the firm “best Pokémon” because Darkrai, and Arceus-Normal got worse and Mega Ray’s checks such as Xerneas and Klefki also got much worse.
@@mysterysecret6815 I know about the nerf to Dark Void, but what did they do to Arc-N ?
@@garlicbreadloaf so, after putting some thought to it, I think I understand why Zacian-C is busted. This is kinda like the Fairy Type as a whole in gen 6, when they were created to counter the best Type in the game at that time: Dragon. Consequently that made Fairy the next OP type, culminating in Xerneas being one of the best Pokemon ever created. In gen 7 they made Solgaleo and Necrozma DM, maybe as a way to try and balance Xerneas, and now Zacian-C and Zamazenta-C. But due to that, they screwed up again, in the effort of making a Pokemon that can beat Xerneas, they made a Pokemon that can also beat everything below Xerneas, making it the next busted one. Behemoth Blade is just Necrozma DM's Sunsteel Strike, but coming off from a Pokemon with much better speed, typing AND Intrepid Sword. Good job GF
Honestly I'm suprised this video wasn't 10 hours long.
Probably a product of it's limited competitive story (it's status as mythical bans them from VGC) as well as the fact that FSG didn't go into big detail with every single form, just the most relevant ones from each Gen.
bc we already know that arceus is busted . . . I mean it's literally a god . . . (and yeah mostly they banned arceus in the competitive battle)
How DEBATED was Arceus's name pronounciation ACTUALLY?
It really shouldn't be as debated as it is. It's literally spelled out in Silvally's ability, RKS.
I think there are two official pronounciations:
- "ar-key-us"
- "ar-see-us"
But the second one isn't used as much because the "ar-see" part sounds like "arse", so "ass" in British English.
There's also "ar-koos" but like... it's a joke that is actually as omnipresent in Pokemon fandom as an actual God is (in monotheism religions)
@@Oscarus4250 ah yes another mandjtv
@@Oscarus4250 the first pronunciation is also what they used in the movie so that has "canon" backing for it too. That said Ar-see-us is closer to the japanese pronunciation (アルセウス - A-ru-se-u-su) so the 2nd is technically also the "canon" way to pronounce it too (if you're a weeb)
@@grey-c8138 Incorrect. By this standard, the true pronunciation would be with a soft “c”, since Silvally’s ability in Japanese is the “AR System”.
I don’t care what anyone else says at this point. Canonically It’s Arceus with a soft “c”, not a hard “k.”
And keep in mind:
Arceus is holding back
a LOT.
In Pokemon Conquest-a criminally underrated crossover between Pokemon and the Nobunaga's Ambition series of strategy RPGs-Arceus is held over the player's head as a McGuffin, essentially being able to alter reality at will for anyone that can earn an audience with the deity, provided that they prove themselves in battle.
It's like Shenron if all the rules were there just because Shenron felt like it.
And when you recruit Arceus, it more than lives up to the hype. Its ability alone gives it passive regen, a free dodge chance, and the ability to just ignore its enemies' typings when they're inconvenient to deal neutral damage instead. Yes. It even bypasses immunities.
Now imagine what would happen if Game Freak released an Arceus with that ability, and be thankful for the mercy of Arceus.
pokemon conquest was the best fucking spinoff and i hope they one day do another as it was my favpurite game
That with itemless multiype legend plate (woth some buff in that game too) now prepare for the quite literally the wprst nightmare
And in Legends Arceus we know now that the base 720 Arceus we've used is only a part of it.
They just wanted to give all their children a chance to have fun and join in.
@@djroscurro9859yeah. The guy literally went "yeah sure here, I created the best Pokemon ever. You're allowed pretend it's me"
Actually surprised that you guys were able to condense Arceus formes in less than an hour. Kudos to you guys, and Merry Christmas.
Out of all the Pokemon to appear on this channel, I think Arceus wins the award of having its name said the most times in its video.
It speaks volumes when a Pokemon uses a 2 Turn Move as its viable movepool that your dealing with a monstrous threat
You know, I've always thought it would be fun to have an Arceus draft gamemode where each player picks six of the types and they build an Arceus for each type and then battle them.
So it turns out you do not capture Arceus.
Arceus just gives you a part of it (and gave himself those stats because he wanted). You never really catch God. God just allows you to use a mere fraction of its power.
I love Legends Arceus. They give Arceus it’s place as the one and only God.
if Arceus kept this ev limitations in further gens would it be still strong? Probably yes.
Arceus would be in OU
@@amoxity6204 i still think it would be too strong for OU, Ekiller being able to basically revenge kill anything not immune to it, CM Darkceus being able to beat stall once Unaware Clefable is down, and it would be way too unpredictable courtesy of its ability and tons of sets. Even with Ev Limitations there's no way it wouldn't be in Ubers still.
Maybe some formes, like bug or psychic, could be OU. They would be very comparable to Mew i think. But other formes are more on the lines of Zamazenta-C : too versatile, hard to break through, strong, very fast, vast moovepool, ability to select their checks... Bad types arceus might be acceptable though, especially if they have bad stabs too. Arceus bug especially since it cannot run boots. But very unsure since moveset diversity would most likely be too favorable for arceus user thus making it broken.
@@echogaia1708 it will basically be a slightly stronger silvally with 100s instead of 95s in the stats and wider movepool, would that much of a difference send it straight to Ubers?
@@amoxity6204 i would still say yes, just cause it has a way wider movepool than Silvally's, can basically invest 100 evs in every stat, have two way of boosting stats, can restore its health, can just sweep things with +2 Extreme Speeds etc... etc... Silvally would never come close to the versatility of Arceus.
Praise Arceus! I'm anxious to play Legends Arceus in late January.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
Arceus : Look what they have to do to imitate a fraction of my power
*Signals to Silvally
Arceus: "What a fool you are, I'm a God! How can you kill a God?"
Doggo with a sword: *watch me*
Arceus : *Becomes Fire* How dare you testing my power ? Perish to Hell, dog sinner !
@Ahmad Adnan it's too slow without a d dance up, but that's splitting hairs.
@Ahmad Adnan Rayquaza needed a Mega to match up to Arceus... Arceus only needs a plate
@Ahmad Adnan bruh pixie plate exist somewhere
Damn man Arceus on Christmas? You guys in False Swipe Gaming are great thanks for all the great content over the years
Mega Arceus idea:
No Mega Stone
Being able to fuse plates together to get any type combonation.

I wish Arceus was in Gen 8, i want to see how it would have changed in a meta with Calyrex and Zacian(if it wasn't banned).
If Arceus was Normal or Dark, Shadow Rider would be screwed like hell due to resisting (or being immune to) Astral Barrage and the only super effective (and reasonably solid) coverage attack is Pollen Buff for Dark (Double Kick doesn't count as an "solid" coverage)
Shadow Rider IS faster than Arceus (unless holding Choice Scarf, then Ghost Arceus could wreck Calyrex), buf it needs to OHKO it unless Calyrex will faint (it isn't as bulky as you would think it is; especially in Ubers)
Ice Rider can be blocked by any Arceus that would resist the incoming Glacial Lance (especially Steel since it also resists Psychic, and Judgement would be supereffective against Ice Rider; of course that is true to Fire too, excluding resisting Psychic). But Ice Rider has a Ground attacks to temper, especially High Horsepower.
But since it's quite slow, that could be used against it.
And Zacian... Fire Arceus resists both STABs, plus the only coverage for Fire types that Zacian has is... Dig.
Yeah, that's all. Just Dig. So, welp... there aren't many Fire-type walls in the Ubers metagame (if there are some at all), but Arceus-Fire could serve as a perfect counter to Zacian (Alpha Pokemon knows Earthquake, of course)
It would be an okay shadow rider check but easily worn into pollen puff range from specs or setup variants, although nice against scarf. It wouldn't do much against zacian. The only form that would take all the coverage zac ran would be fire, and being stealth rock weak ruins that. It would be a solid support mon but I think in general it would be too easily revenged to be a good sweeper, and would likely fall back into mostly suppory roles.
I mean technically Arceus is in gen 8 (BDSP and Legends Arceus)
Imagine Arceus with dynamax
@@Oscarus4250 arceus can't hold a choice scarf because it needs the spooky plate to be a ghost type
We did get Arceus Jr. in the form of Silvally in Gen 7 if that's saying anything
Technically Silvally is a "man-made-god", in that the Aether Foundation was simply trying to replicate Arceus' power. Arceus Jr. would either be the Creation Trio, or Mew
What better way to spend Christmas, than with your family watching the long awaited FSG Arceus video 😂❤
Ya know... Kyurem would have been fine.. But ARCEUS?!?!?! Now that was worth it!
FSG: Excuse me Sir, do you have some small minutes to talk about our Lord savior Arceus?
Simple mind me: *Y e s*
Did you hear the son of Arceus silvally. His love for everyone is the parish of love giving me your lord.
Talonflame next. It’s fall off is unprecedented
Yeah they killed that pokemon off so quickly it doesn't make sense.
Talonflame? More like Talonlame. XD
Gen 6+ mons are banned until all the mons of the first 5 gens are covered
@@roninwarriorsfan including LC and nfe mons ?
@@roninwarriorsfan I dunno. There are some Gen 6 Pokémon who can definitely have a decently long video now that we’re two years into Gen 8.
Some examples include Aegislash, Noivern, Diggersby, and Sylveon.
