Gives Arceus decks decent damage output with a CHANCE of discard, unlike the Level X.
also gives an important type to trump weakness with, for a great nemesis to arceus(DGX)

Also gives the best OHKO on flygon X for the effect IMO (well, with omniscient and all that), as it really doesn't require much setup at all...

And if people really want to use Heatran, use this as the base for the omniscient Lv X and use judgement for spread, or just level this up into psychic bolt arceus for consistent 100...

8/10 in arceus decks (slow to manually power, discard knocks it down, but gives a very useful type and good damage, good retreat as well)

This could work well with Heatran Lv.X!!
Yeah, it's slow to power up, but I can see this thing tearing through other decks.

I'd say maybe a 7/10 in fire decks.

 

[ShiftingSky]

You Can Use Heatran combo and it gives u super effective To Metal and Grass. 80 Damage is Not that great but still good If they Have Weakness + an expert belt. Its retreat isnt that bad either.
7/10

One of the most important arceus, it deals with dialga G in one shot. I run luxray Gl in mine just so I can get to it no matter what. Very crucial. 8/10

 

[soulsilver2009]

to bad heatran cant fit in an arceus deck

 

[PokemonMaster123]

Great Arceus Very Important for an arceus deck against dialga G, but flipping if you discard energy is a little risky still a good card tho

8\10 in arceus deck

 

[Alakalen]

double colorless(/upper), oh I have to discard it :{ thats ok I'll attach it again next turn

 

[Nekizalb]

80 HP and Water Weakness are both drawbacks. However, a solid 80 coming from a Fire-Type can be nice, and deal damage when you need it. Having to discard energy can be a bit of a drawback, but it might not happen anyways. 6/10

Today's CotD is Arceus from AR (the :fire: one). Statwise, 80 HP is decent for a Basic, x2 Weakness to :water: hurts, no Resistance is common, and :colorless: to Retreat is cheap. This is one of the more damaging Arceus thanks to its attack, Bright Flame: for :fire::colorless::colorless:, you deal a solid 80, but you then get to flip, and if it's Tails, you lose 2 Energy off Arceus, which hurts. Honestly, not that good (but then again, what Arceus is?), but he does deal the most damage until you get a Lv X variant in play.

Modified - 6/10 (Bad attack, but is necessary for its :fire: type in Arceus decks, and he is one of the more damaging ones)
Limited - 7/10 (Eh, if you use :fire:, not too bad to pick him up)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No use here)

I got 1 Pokemon name for ya. Heatran.

This Arceus is alright. I don't like that most Arceus don't have a secondary attack. 3 for 80 is good but flippy to drop energies and if you don't have Heatran on your bench, then this Arceus is powered down for 2 turns. Or you can use Firestarter Typhlosion to help out too or Rayquaza with Stark Mountain. But my fave choice is to have Heatran on my bench to recharge Fire Pokemon like this Arceus in 1 shot.
