if you want to catch arceus you can,t but if you get Pokemon arceus version avalible on eBay and a connecting cable you can trade arceus with yourself so you can have it on ruby.
The only way to catch Arceus in Pokemon Platinum is by using the Azure Flute or cheating. The Azure Flute is an event item that sadly was never distributed. This means the only way to catch Arceus is by cheating.
Arceus is not an available Pokemon in Pokemon Sapphire. Arcues is only available to Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum via an event.
You can only catch Zapdos in Crystal by cheating. otherwise it is not in the game
