What it does
If you have 6 Arceus in play and each of them is a different type, search your deck for up to 6 basic Energy cards. Attach each of those Energy cards to a different Pokémon you have in play. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 80 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Remove all Energy cards attached to Arceus and put them in the Lost Zone.
You may have as many of this card in your deck as you like.
It is said to have emerged from an egg in a place where there was nothing, then shaped the world.

Where it came from
Released in the 2009 Arceus expansion, this card captures the Mythical Pokémon Arceus in its base form. The set was designed to spotlight the creator of the Pokémon universe, coinciding with the cinematic release of the film Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life. The card is part of the sub-set of nine 'Arceus' cards, which were notable for their shared design philosophy and focus on versatility within the Pokémon Trading Card Game mechanics.
The artwork for this particular card was created by Ryo Ueda, an illustrator well-regarded in the community for his dynamic and clean digital style. The design emphasizes the creature's God-like status, utilizing a stark, clean background that allows the intricate details of Arceus's form and elemental rings to stand out. Upon its debut, the set was received positively by players for the strategic synergy between the nine Arceus cards, which were specifically designed to support one another in competitive play.
