Line 139:
**** And then there's the form of Necrozma that players encounter as the main boss of the story: {{spoiler|Ultra Necrozma, a colossal four-winged dragon composed of pure light energy, whose entire body uses its base form as a sort of "skeleton" - these portions of the body glow gold from the light energy it's absorbed}}. Its body temperature exceeds ''10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (or 5,540 degrees Celsius)'', melting anything it touches. Its Photon Geyser can also become one of the strongest Z-moves in the game: {{spoiler|[[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|'''Light That Burns the Sky''']], which is likely the basis for what the Pokédex entry describes as a laser that can burn through anything in its path ''for up to 18 miles''}}. And ''that's'' what {{spoiler|the ancestors of the URS}} [[Mugging the Monster|pissed right the fuck off]].
** ''[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]'' marks the first non-event appearance of the titular Mythical Pokémon, and Arceus and the creation trio that it leads also play much heavier roles in the plot, with the game and its events revealing a lot about them.
*** {{spoiler|Dialga and Palkia}} each have their ''own'' Origin Formes now, which partly explains why {{spoiler|they were believed to be "almighty Sinnoh" (aka Arceus) by their respective clans, as well as the Pokédex entries that stated they were revered as deities in ancient times}}. And what of the titular Arceus? {{spoiler|Oh, it's "only" responsible for the creation of the Noble Pokémon that the Hisui people worship, the Ride Pokémon that guide you through a blessing that made them stronger, ''and'' the Arc Phone you use throughout the game. Arceus is also capable of human speech, and simply took on the name that humans called it. Around the time you finally encounter it near the end of the game, there are hints that its physical appearance is only [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|a fragment of its unknown and incomprehensible true form]] (a theory that is supported by at least one PokeDex entry claims it "shaped the world with its thousand arms") that exists outside the dimension it calls home. After you capture this 'fragment', Arceus appears in your dreams and creates the Eternal Battle Reverie, where you can fight various Pokémon as challenges.}}
*** And then finally there's none other than {{spoiler|Giratina - its portrayal here leans way more into the Satanic archetypes, with the power to create space-time distortions that rip holes in reality and can drive both Dialga and Palkia berserk... ''as well'' as creating Alpha Pokémon and driving Noble Pokémon into their berserk Lord/Lady States. The player learns of Giratina from Volo after they successfully reconcile the warring clans and he asks them to collect the Plates: upon obtaining 17 of them, Volo informs the player of a Legendary Pokémon as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, which was banished to another world due to its cruelty. Volo takes the player to the ruins of the Temple of Sinnoh, where he reveals that he sought out Giratina in order to cause a space-time rift that would make Dialga and Palkia appear - this would summon Arceus, [[A God Am I|whose power Volo wants to destroy the world and create a superior one]]. When you defeat Volo in battle, Giratina appears immediately afterward to attack you, even transforming into its Origin Forme partway through - defeating it earns you the final plate and foils Volo's plot for the time being}}.
** Several of the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Glitch_Pokemon Glitch Pokémon] that appear as other Pokémon fit this on a conceptual level, including [[The Missingno|Missingno.]] - glitch Pokémon on a gameplay level are essentially junk data given form, and as such the game will pull the images and cries of other 'Mons from the index for them. Many of them warp or alter music, graphics and save data, possess bizarre dimensions, and can induce game crashes; some such as [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/%27M_(00) 'M] and its ''Yellow'' counterpart [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/3TrainerPoké_$ 3TrainerPoké $] can even ''evolve'' into actual Pokémon!
