Here we go again with another Arceus ability addition as we already didn't had enough threads for that. Basically here is a pretty interesting info I found on True Form Arceus which I'd like to show here. Let's take the Original One again:
Basically the egg from where Arceus was from is made of chaos, and thus Arceus should logically be made of said chaos.
But what is the chaos in this context? Simple, pure nothingness. Let's take the Platinum, BW and B2W2 Pokédex entries:
In short, chaos and nothingness are pretty much related to each other. This is a pretty blatant reference to the Greek and Biblical tradition, where the chaos was simply the state of pure void that predates existence.
What am I trying to say? True Form Arceus should get Type 2 Nonexistence Physiology, also due of the description of said ability:
In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos.
At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, appeared an Egg.
Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One.
From itself, two beings the Original One did make.
Time started to spin. Space began to expand.
From itself again, three living things the Original One did make.
The two beings wished, and from them, matter came to be.
The three living things wished, and from them, spirit came to be.
The world created, the Original One took to unyielding sleep...

It is said to have emerged from an egg in a place where there was nothing, then shaped the world.

What am I trying to say? True Form Arceus should get Type 2 Nonexistence Physiology, also due of the description of said ability:
2: Idealistic Nonexistence: The lack of absolutely everything to a state of nonexistence at a conceptual level. Such a state defies even the most basic logical principles and is unknowable in the truest form, as it is not a state at all. Such entities are typically presented as primordial voids or pure emptiness, or any abstract state which precedes or opposes the state of existence on all levels. In terms of binary, this would be something that is neither 1 nor 0, where 1 is existence and 0 is nonexistence.
Arceus is basically this, the void that predates existence and its concepts (basically the Creation and Lake Trios) other than being the Reality of all the Pokémon verse. It should also get Void Manipulation since PokeGods are shown to manipulate what they embody.
