Multitype changes the form and [[type]] of a Pokémon with this Ability depending on the [[Plate]] attached. The item-removing effects of {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Switcheroo}}, and {{m|Knock Off}} will not work on a Pokémon with Multitype, regardless of what item it is holding.

When a Pokémon {{m|transform}}s into Arceus, it becomes the same form and type as the target Arceus.
