Any tips on how to get Arceus rank fast, or just general tips on dexing?
Considering you need ALL EggDex entries and ALL Pokédex entries, including all legends and all PFQ ‘mons... there really isn’t a quick way to get Arceus.
Or at least it wasn’t quick last time I actually got there.
I don’t know how far to Arceus you already are, so I can only give the most general advice ever. If you need more specific help, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best!
The best way is to focus on EggDexes first and keep all the Pokémon that need to be evolved through levels in the first few fields. You’ll spend so much time on hatching Eggs, they’ll evolve by themselves by people randomly mass-clicking you. And if they don’t, that’s a problem for future you.
Use your daily DayCare pickups for breeding PFQ Pokémon, you’re less likely to find them in the Shelter, so you need to use your DayCare for them. Some trade forum shops offer breeding pairs, or you can make a thread asking for some yourself. When people Shiny Hunt them, then they might have some Pokémon leftover that they offer for trade.
For the Shelter, Black Flute is a blessing not just for Shiny Hunting. Any Eggs you haven’t hatched yet are simply called “Egg” instead of the species’ name. God I’m missing all Galar Pokémon.
Hoard your boxes and only open them when you unlock a new Summon Item. It will have a higher chance to drop out of a box. This higher chance only applies once, so summon that legend, don’t trade it.
I don’t remember anything about Ultra Beasts. Good luck.
DexTrading looks very alive and well in the trade forums. Be aware, that you can’t expect the dextrades for free. Except if you ask in your About Me for a dextrade and get lucky with someone PMing you about it.
Generally: You should only bother dextrading Mega Pokémon and Pokémon with multiple formes or different evolution paths. Because you need the EggDex anyway, so paying for a Dex only to hatch the Pokémon later on is a waste of ressources.
However, some Pokémon have multiple formes and the same EggDex and some have multiple formes and each forme a different EggDex. The best indicator is checking the Pokédex after hatching something and noticing that the EggDex isn’t at 100% for that species. Or the EggDex is at 100% but the Poké Ball isn’t.

I almost forgot them. If I recall correctly, buying a breeding pair is cheaper than getting the Token to buy an Egg. So if you can, buy a breeding pair instead. But regularly participating in this would make it less daunting on your ressources.
Don’t bother spending Tokens on the current or the last season Fakemon UNLESS they’re the last Dex entries you need. They’re expensive and can’t be bread breeded breed you can’t breed them. The Fakemons from 2 seasons ago and older can be........ obtained through the DayCare. With a breeding pair. (So right now, Season 14 and older.)
I... can’t remember anything else that might be important. Hmu if you have more specific questions or if anything I said is wrong. Eltafez has made a nice Unknown Breeding Calculator, if you still need some EggDexes there.
