Amphaceus appears amid violent electrical storms, leading some ancient cultures to worship it as a storm god. It moves at high speeds any time it sees lightning strike.
The light on the end of Amphaceus's tail can light up to the point of being visible from space. Ancient civilizations once believed the stars in the night sky were various Amphaceus illuminating the skies.
It is described in mythology as the Pokémon that shaped the universe with its 1,000 arms. It gives off so much light that it can be seen even from space.
