Pokemon Diamond and Pearl have been a staple in the Pokemon franchise for over a decade. The games feature an iconic Pokemon known as Arceus, a powerful deity that holds the power of all types. Catching this Pokemon requires some preparation and knowledge, but with the right strategy, it's possible to obtain. Before attempting to catch-the-legendary-arceus-the-tale-of-enamored-legends" title="How to Catch the Legendary Arceus: The Tale of Enamored Legends">catch Arceus, you must first beat the game and obtain the National Dex. The National Dex is necessary because you will need to capture all 493 Pokemon before catching Arceus. After completing these tasks, you will need to have the Azure Flute. Unfortunately, Nintendo released the Azure Flute through specific events, and these events have long since passed. This fact led to the rise of rumors about obtaining the Azure Flute through glitches or exploits, despite no such method being legitimate. Thus, it is impossible to get the Azure Flute without attending valid events. Once you have the Azure Flute, travel to the Spear Pillar on the top of Mount Coronet. Standing on the dot-filled circle will initiate the Azure Flute's power, which will create a staircase leading to Arceus at the end. Before reaching Arceus, you'll have to fight off several powerful trainers, so make sure that your Pokemon team is strong enough to handle these battles. Minimally, you need to have multiple Pokemon leveled up to or above level 70. This way, your Pokemon will have a much better chance at defeating each trainer. Before battling Arceus, make sure to have a Pokemon with Pokerus, a virus that can be contracted randomly from wild Pokemon battles. It won't affect your Pokemon's abilities but it will double the amount of Stat Exp (not the same as elite-four-in-pokemon-firered-and-leafgreen" title="How to beat the Elite Four in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen">regular Exp) they earn. Arceus is at level 80 and knows moves that deal various types of damage, so it's best to have several Pokemon options to switch in and out during the battle. If you have a Pokemon with a false swipe, it'll be easier as its signature move "Judgment" reduces its HP to one instead of making it faint. Do not forget that Arceus holds the power of all types, so your Pokemon should be diversified as much as possible. If is close to fainting, throw an Ultra Ball, Master Ball, or Net Ball. With enough patience and a little luck, you'll capture Arceus. In conclusion, catching Arceus is not an easy task, but it's achievable if you have reached the point of the game to obtain the Azure Flute. You'll need a Pokemon team with leveled Pokemon and a diverse range of types to face Arceus. Furthermore, obtaining and holding the Pokerus virus on your Pokemon will further increase your team's stats during the battle. Utilize these tips, and with a little patience and luck, you will capture the powerful deity, Arceus.
