Cursed Arceus
Apparently, there is a cursed Arceus, and it is the ??? type, just like the move curse.
It looks like this:
Apparently, it's in the games coding, but you can't get it unless you hack it (which is actually pretty hard to do).
So, does anybody have a cursed Arceus? I really want one.

Re: Cursed Arceus
Speaking of hacking, this was made to PREVENT hacking that would cause crashes normally. If Arceus was hacked to always be ??? type, it wouldn't have a base sprite, causing a crash. So, they made this.

I would think it'd just be the normal Arceus (without any plates).

Nope, Multitype's programming wants the Arceus to switch sprites depending on it's type. It's not the plates that cause it, it's the type. ??? would make Multitype request for a sprite that doesn't exist, causing the crash. That's why they made this. They got smart.

Re: Cursed Arceus
It would be so much easier to just make the move Curse a Ghost type of a Dark type, so that there's no sign of a ??? type in the first place. Then they wouldn't have to make a ??? Arceus, because the ??? type wouldn't exist.

That's why they deleted ??? type in Gen V. It (???) took up precious space.

Re: Cursed Arceus
Then what happens if you hack a ??? Arceus, and then trade it onto Pokemon Black/White?
Would your game crash or what?

Either that or it will be converted to Normal. Probably will crash though.

Or maybe it'd do that thing where it says something like "You cannot transfer this Pokemon because it knows a hidden move"

No, it turns to normal.

Got it.
Change of subject, does anybody actually have a ??? Arceus?
