A '''Plate''' (Japanese: '''プレート''' ''Plate'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]], primarily for use in [[Variant Pokémon#Arceus|changing]] the type and color of {{p|Arceus}} and the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}} to the corresponding type of Plate. However, it will also increase the attack power of [[move]]s of the Plate's type used by any Pokémon holding it by 20%. There is a Plate available for every type except {{t|Normal}}, and while there exists a {{type|???}} Arceus in the Generation IV data, there is no associated ??? Plate, meaning there are 16 Plates in total. In Generation V, the ???-type has been removed from the data altogether. | A '''Plate''' (Japanese: '''プレート''' ''Plate'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]], primarily for use in [[Variant Pokémon#Arceus|changing]] the type and color of {{p|Arceus}} and the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}} to the corresponding type of Plate.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, two of the Plates are given to the player by a treasure hunter in a house in {{rt|13|Unova}}. The treasure hunter will mention that he found the Plates in the [[Abyssal Ruins]], and indeed the rest of the Plates can be found there. What follows is a list of what effect a Plate has when held and where they can be found in Generation IV, besides in the Underground, and in Generation V. | ||

Plates first appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where [[Saturn]] and two {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s placed them in a room of the [[Solaceon Ruins]] to obtain the [[Spear Key]] and awaken the {{p|Unown}} there. These Plates were specifically the Draco Plate, Iron Plate, and Splash Plate, which power up the three types of {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}} ({{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Water}}) combined. | Plates first appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where [[Saturn]] and two {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s placed them in a room of the [[Solaceon Ruins]] to obtain the [[Spear Key]] and awaken the {{p|Unown}} there.

[[Damos]] found one of these lost Plates and returned it to Arceus, giving it the strength to recall the other 15 Plates. That act earned its trust and prompted it to detach the Earth Plate, Splash Plate, Meadow Plate, Zap Plate, and Draco Plate in the form of the [[Jewel of Life]] so Damos could make [[Michina Town]] flourish. | ||
