Niantic set to ruin Arceus

Assuming they do their 9% nerf, Arceus will have stats of attack 238 defense 238 HP 218. This puts it on par with Rhyperior, a pokemon which is not even legendary tier in the games.

This is obviously ridiculous. So i would hope Niantic don't do their 9% cut, and instead only allow one Arceus per battle party as a means to check its power. .

Niantic gonna want to make money off Arceus, so i assume they will release it in raids. And they'll release 18 different versions of it (one for each type) to keep that money rolling in for a while. Niantic gotta Niantic.

I still hope they don't ruin Arceus when it comes out in a year or w/e

I dont know anything about arceus, but wouldnt the 18 different versions allow him to be top tier in some regards? Like being ghost type or bug type?

Sure would.

Arceus is the strongest pokemon in the pokemon universe, would be lame if it got nerfed down to Rhyperior level. Arceus can switch to any type, depending on what item it holds.

To make it work like that Niantic would have to put completely new coding in.

The second part of the equation of a good Pokemon is its moves. There's always the possibility they give it the best moves of its types that it's compatible with to keep its godly status. Judgement as a signature has lots of room for potential given its unique trait.
