Arceus: Physical or Special?

Question

I just caught Arceus in my Platinum game, and I was thinking what move to teach it. It's got 120 attack, and 120 Sp.Attack, so I have no idea what moves to teach it.
I already have 2 physical attackers on my team, and they are Gallade and Mamoswine
I also have 2 special attackers on my team, they are Dusknoir and Rotom, wash form
I have Leafeon, who is mixed special and physical
Help please!
And a moveset would be nice too

Answer 1

Why not a Physical Attack? I mean, it can't hurt your team.

Arceus @ Spooky Plate
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Adamant Nature (+Atk,-SAtk)

• Brick Break
• Shadow Force
• Swords Dance
• Recover

Or you can go with a Special Arceus

Arceus @ Earth Plate
Trait: Multitype
EVs: 252 SAtk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Timid Nature (+Spd,-Atk)

• Judgement
• Thunderbolt
• Ice Beam
• Psyshock

It seriously doesn't matter, neither will hurt your team.

No problem :P

---

And how is he to get Shadow Force?

---

Its okay, I think Shadow Ball would be a good substitute for Shadow Force

---

Shadow Ball is special.

Arceus@Leftovers
Ability: Multitype
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def

Extreme Speed
Earthquake
Swords Dance
Recovery

Is also an amazing physical Arceus set, although I'm not 100% how easy it is to obtain.

He said Platinum. Psyshock does not exist yet. Plus, this is in-game, don't treat it like it is PO.

---

OOooh, he said Platinum? O.O Was sure he said White >.> Sorry then :P

---

Trachy's right. Arceus doesn't learn Shadow Force. You're going to need to change that, too.

---

It actually does learn Shadow Force through Event.

I knew i saw it somewhere... Thanks PB :D
