>>14059001>Is it just a mew type pokemon on steroids?Yes
>Is it supposed to be the strongest pokemon ever?Given that its dex entries outright state that it created the universe and that it is God, yes.
>Is it only strong on average to teach players that pokemon that are "averagely" the strongest are actually shit, and not worth playing, because the game is situational?120/120/120 defenses are ridiculously good in any situation, and having that potential to go physical or special (with speed outpacing most of everything and the movepool to support either) is also amazing.
>Is all its power based on the myth of it?It's God, so yes.
The only thing wrong with Arceus is that it's so good every script kiddie and casual wi-fi battler has to have a hacked shiny one to prove how pro they are.
