With Pokémon in its 20th Anniversary year we've been getting one Mythical Pokémon every month for the current-gen games, each available for a few weeks.

This month's offering is Arceus, which is up for grabs until 24th August and originated in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. It's level 100 in this distribution, of course, and when you find a 'corresponding plate' it can become any type. Details screengrabbed from the official website are below.
