The Zap Plate, alongside the other 15 Plates, appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} used them to change its type, and almost died when it lost all of the Plates after having destroyed a meteor that endangered the land that would become [[Michina Town]]. [[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 the land flourish. The Zap Plate was included in the Jewel of Life to bind the energies of the Earth, Splash, and Meadow Plates together.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

The Plates first appeared in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, in which [[Petrel]] was collecting them for [[Team Rocket]]'s plan. After {{adv|Silver}} stole the few Plates he had managed to find, Petrel decided to let him gather all 16 Plates, just to get them back at once later. With his {{TP|Silver|Weavile}} leaving messages for {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Weavile}} across [[Johto]], Silver soon indeed gathered all 16 Plates for himself. At the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], {{adv|Gold}} surrendered the Plates to [[Archer]], who used them to seemingly take control of {{adv|Arceus}}, ordering it to recreate {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. When the [[Pokédex holder]]s used their Pokémon's ultimate attacks to stop the creation, all the Plates were absorbed by Arceus.
