[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

Well, I can understand that now. Perhaps Mewtwo already get a lot of benefits already. And there is the thing even Mew in Gen 6 didnt receive a Mega evolution, so giving Mew a Z-Move I think its a well deserved respect to the progenitor of all pokemon.

But I think Arceus will not get some bonus in the others Z-moves except Normalium Z:

Generation VI onward
If Magic Room is in effect, Judgment's type will always be Normal regardless of the Plate held.
Judgment is unaffected by Normalize, Pixilate, Refrigerate, and Aerilate. However, it is affected by Ion Deluge (if the move would be Normal-type) and Electrify.
Regardless of the user's types, Judgment is always treated as Normal-type for Z-Move mechanics, and can be upgraded to Breakneck Blitz by a Normalium Z.


So yeah, no benefits from other Z-moves. But man, if Gen 4 Remake really become a thing, I would buy for sure if I also have the need money. Story was not exactly very much the focus of Pokemon franchise. Its kinda have one, but the main focus is the trainer in his journey to beat the Elite Four in their Region. Well, not every time *Angering looking at Ash Ketchum* But lets put that aside for now. Like I say, story was not the main focus of the pokemon franchise, but the story of the Team Galatic, and their journey to control the gods pokemon of time and space to make a new universe, thats something interesting. Just a shame their plans was frustrated again by a child (the weakness of any villain organization: a ten year old child) and Cyrus drag to the Reverse World and imprison there by the devil pokemon Giratina. It is problably a boring place...

Generation VII
Multitype will also change Arceus's type and form if it holds a type-specific Z-Crystal.
Multitype cannot be copied by Power of Alchemy or Receiver. Multitype cannot be suppressed by Core Enforcer.



That's from Bulbapedia's page on Multitype.  While Judgement did kinda get shafted by not being able to be used as a base for a Z move other than Breakneck Blitz, not all Arceus need to run it, so Arceus does get some benefit from using a Z-crystal over a Plate when running specific sets. Fire Arceus can run Firium Z Fire Blast/Overheat for example. In general, most of the Arceus sets that run Z-crystals over Plates tend to have alternative STABs of 100+ power that make them less reliant on Judgement. Special note for Ground Arceus because it can run an Earth Plate Judgement special set or a Groundium Z/Earth Plate EQ physical set, meaning your opponent has to guess which one it is and which item Arceus is holding if it's a physical set.
