How do I obtain Arceus in Platinum after events have expired?

Question

I recently got Pokemon platinum on my 3ds and am really enjoying it so far! I am looking to complete my pokedex as much as possible, and catching Arceus is a very important part of that. However, I know that there is no way to officially obtain Arceus. I heard that there are cheat codes for emulators but, as previously stated, I am playing on official hardware. As the 3ds's online lifespan has been cut short, trading isn't an option either. I tried looking it up, but that bore no fruit. I wanted to know if there is some way on official hardware to activate events so I can catch Arceus. If there is, would it work for the darkrai event?

Also to get Darkrai I think tweaking is an option but I'm not sure.

There might be a glitch that lets you do it, but the void glitch and Pal Park glitch don't work in Pt.

The question generally is fine, I took out the part about cheats so there's no confusion. There are dedicated communities for cheats that will be more knowledgeable on that than here.

Answer 1

There are TWO WAYS they follow the RULES of the forms

Option 1: DNS SETTINGS

1. A really cool and interesting thing that was discovered was the use of DNS setting on the DS (which the 3ds still has) you basically set up your wifi in a way that it connects to a server or some funny thing to obtain LEGAL AND LEGIT POKEMON. This requires no HACKS and is not a GLITCH. It is just not intended.

2. There is a little more to it. Your wifi MAY NOT CONNECT TO THE DS PART. Your wifi will connect to the 3ds but the Wii and DS were are older and can't connect to some WIFIs. You may want to set up a custom access point with your wifi (if you are the owner then this would be easy) or use a mobile hotspot and change the GHzs on it. From my knowledge and experience, it will most likely work on the 2.5 GHz. IGNORE THIS IF THE DS CAN CONNECT TO YOUR WIFI WITH ZERO ISSUES

3. You will then use a DNS setting to change what you will connect to. This basically with give you a specfifc event Pokemon or something like that. this is vague not because I am unsure it is because how it works sometimes may not work or not work as intended like it will give you the wrong Pokemon

You should search for DNS GEN 4 in order to really read or look at videos yourself.

Option 2: Void Glitch
Ima be real with you. This is the hardest one in terms of time and precision. However, this has been CRACKED to the max by people (gamefreak thought we were too stupid to use a flute so we took that personally) all I can do is provide a link to a YouTube video that performs it PERFECTLY.

Other than that if you magically had the distribution cartridges then these are the only ways. BTW HGSS and BWBW2 have this DNS stuff too!

This answer explains how to do the first option: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/383345#a419223
Also you can't do the void glitch in Platinum.
