Multitype (Ability): Difference between revisions

Changed the wording of several parts to no longer say "form and type", and removed the part about Multitype not working while Tera'd to match this, as Arceus does not transform back into its Normal form when Tera'd and the Stellar type uses the corresponding type of Arceus's form.

When a Pokémon {{m|transform}}s into Arceus, it becomes the same form and type as the target Arceus. If the transformed Pokémon is holding a Plate that is different from the target's held Plate, it then immediately changes to the form and type corresponding to that Plate; if it is not holding a Plate, it immediately changes to Normal Arceus (unless it transformed into Normal Arceus).
