Soon you can claim the legendary Arceus in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl--but only if you also have a save file for Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The cross-promotional freebie will be available with the new 1.3.0 update to BDSP. Similarly, starting next month you'll be able to claim Darkrai.
The requirements to claim Arceus means you'll have to completed both games. You'll need a Pokemon Legends: Arceus save on your Switch system that has cleared all the main missions. In BD or SP, you'll need to have joined the Hall of Fame and obtained the National Pokedex. With both of those save files in tow, you'll be able to find the Azure Flute in your bedroom in Twinleaf Town. Then just head to the top of Mount Coronet to meet Arceus and dethrone god, as you are wont to do.
