A '''Plate''' (Japanese: '''プレート''' ''Plate'') is a | [[File:Arceus Plates anime.png|thumb|250px|Plates in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'']] | ||
A '''Plate''' (Japanese: '''プレート''' ''Plate'') is any of a certain group of [[item]]s related to {{p|Arceus}}. The Plates were introduced in [[Generation IV]]. | |||
==In the core series games== | |||
There is one Plate for each [[type]] except {{t|Stellar}} (and {{t|???}}, though a corresponding Arceus form exists as an error handler). They boost the power of the holder's moves of the corresponding [[type]] by 20%, and change {{p|Arceus}} and its [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} to that type. | |||
There are 16 Plates in Generations IV and {{gen|V}}, and 17 from [[Generation VI]] to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} with the introduction of the {{t|Fairy}} type and the corresponding [[Pixie Plate]]. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] introduces the [[Blank Plate]], which is a Plate for the {{t|Normal}} type, and the [[Legend Plate]], which allows Arceus to change its type at will when using Judgment—bringing the number of known Plates to 19. | |||

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum=== | |||
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the 16 Plates known at the time are spread far and wide across [[Sinnoh]], and an additional copy of each Plate can also be dug up in the [[Underground]]. | |||
| | |||
====Engravings==== | |||
When each Plate is obtained in [[Generation IV]], a different engraving appears on the back of the Plate which reveals part of the myth of the creation of the Pokémon universe. No engraving is tied to a specific Plate; they will appear each one at a time depending on how many Plates the player has found so far, with the ninth Plate found using the same engraving as the first. In Platinum, after talking to the Hiker on the second floor of the Canalave Library, a book on the second floor with the engravings written in it will be left by the Hiker the player met in Oreburgh Mine during the Arceus-triggered event. | |||
*''"When the {{pkmn|universe}} was created, its shards became this Plate."'' | |||
*''"The power of defeated giants infuses this Plate."'' | |||
*''"Two beings of {{p|Dialga|time}} and {{p|Palkia|space}} set free from the {{p|Arceus|Original One}}."'' | |||
*''"[[Lake guardians|Three beings]] were born to bind {{tt|time|Dialga}} and {{tt|space|Palkia}}."'' | |||
*''"[[Pokémon of Myth|Two]] make matter and {{tt|three|Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf}} make spirit, shaping the {{pkmn|world}}."'' | |||
*''"The {{tt|Original One|Arceus}} breathed alone before the universe came."'' | |||
*''"The powers of Plates are [[held item|shared among Pokémon]]."'' | |||
*''"The rightful bearer of a Plate {{a|Multitype|draws from}} the Plate it holds."'' | |||

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver=== | |||
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the captain of the [[S.S. Aqua]] will give one away in index number order during each voyage after the player has all 16 [[Badge]]s, referring to them as rare treasures that he found in Sinnoh. | |||
===Pokémon Black and White=== | |||
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]], where the player can find the rest of the Plates. | |||
===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2=== | |||
In {{B2W2}}, these two same Plates can be found at [[Undella Bay]], which is where the Abyssal Ruins and the remaining Plates also once again reside. | |||
===Pokémon X and Y=== | |||
In {{g|X and Y}}, one copy of each of the now 17 Plates, including the new Pixie Plate, is obtainable and they are scattered all across [[Kalos]]. | |||
===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire=== | |||
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, most of the 17 Plates are found in various locations [[Underwater]], with the exception of the Iron Plate, which is held by the special {{p|Beldum}} that {{Steven}} leaves for the player at his house in [[Mossdeep City]] after completing the [[Delta Episode]]. | |||
===Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon=== | |||
In {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, many of the Plates are found at the Antique Shop in [[Hau'oli City]] after defeating [[Nanu]], while others are hidden around Hau'oli City. | |||
===Pokémon Sword and Shield=== | |||
In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the Pixie Plate is the only obtainable plate in [[Galar]]. One copy of the Plate can be found on {{rt|8|Galar}}, while more copies can be obtained from the bargain seller at [[Stow-on-Side]]. | |||
===Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl=== | |||
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the Plates are obtainable in the same locations as in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, with the Pixie Plate also now being available. Unlike in Generation IV, there is no limit to how many of each Plate can be dug up in the [[Grand Underground]]. | |||
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus=== | |||
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[held item]]s do not exist: instead, the Plates appear as [[Key Item]]s and must be selected to change Arceus into the Plate's corresponding type. The Plates are scattered across [[Hisui]], and collecting them serves as part of the game's story, with most of them being received from notable Pokémon the player encounters. | |||
====Engravings==== | |||
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, each Plate has a unique engraving, which can be read by selecting "Read text" on the Plate in the inventory. | |||
* [[Blank Plate]]: ''"[[Pokémon of Myth|Three beings]] whose power can hold both time and space fixed."'' | |||
* [[Fist Plate]]: ''"The [[Space-time distortion|rift]] is born of disorder on the other side of this world."'' | |||
* [[Sky Plate]]: ''"The being poured the remains of its power into stone and buried it deep."'' | |||
* [[Toxic Plate]]: ''"The rules of time and space change within the [[Distortion World|opposite world]]."'' | |||
* [[Earth Plate]]: ''"When the [[Pokémon universe|universe]] was created, its shards became this Plate."'' | |||
* [[Stone Plate]]: ''"It gathers power from the Plates, listening for the [[Azure Flute|flute]]'s song."'' | |||
* [[Insect Plate]]: ''"Where all creation was born, that is the being's place of origin."'' | |||
| | * [[Spooky Plate]]: ''"The other side of this world was given by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}} to its {{p|Giratina|raging third}}."'' | ||
| | * [[Iron Plate]]: ''"That which fills the other side of the world can shape the rage and mold it."'' | ||
* [[Flame Plate]]: ''"The power of defeated giants infuses this Plate."'' | |||
| | * [[Splash Plate]]: ''"The rightful bearer of a Plate draws from the Plate it holds."'' | ||
* [[Meadow Plate]]: ''"The powers of Plates are shared among Pokémon."'' | |||
* [[Zap Plate]]: ''"The third being raged, raining down bolts of anger."'' | |||
* [[Mind Plate]]: ''"The Original One breathed alone before the universe came."'' | |||
* [[Icicle Plate]]: ''"{{p|Dialga|Two}} {{p|Palkia|beings}} of time and space set free from the Original One."'' | |||
* [[Draco Plate]]: ''"Three beings were born to bind time and space."'' | |||
* [[Dread Plate]]: ''"Two make matter, and [[Lake guardians|three]] make spirit, shaping the [[Pokémon world|world]]."'' | |||
* [[Pixie Plate]]: ''"The Original One is in all things. The Original One is nowhere at all."'' | |||
* [[Legend Plate]]: ''"From all creations, over all creations, does the Original One watch over all."'' | |||
===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet=== | |||
In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], the 17 regular Plates are purchasable from auctions in the [[Porto Marinada]] [[Porto Marinada Market|Market]] if the player has an {{p|Arceus}} in their possession. The Blank Plate and Legend Plate do not exist. | |||
| | |||
==In the anime== | |||
===Main series=== | |||
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''==== | |||
Plates debuted in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', where [[Saturn]] and two {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}}s placed three of them in a room located in the [[Solaceon Ruins]], in order 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. | |||
| | |||
| | |||
| | |||
}} | |||
====[[Pokémon movie]]s==== | |||
All of the Plates present at the time reappeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where they played a larger role. Referred to as Life Plates, these are a set of Plates that give life to {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, and also allow it to change its type. Arceus almost died when it lost all of the Plates after destroying 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. This heroic, selfless act earned its trust and prompted it to detach the [[Earth Plate]], Splash Plate, [[Meadow Plate]], [[Zap Plate]], and Draco Plate, and merge them to form the [[Jewel of Life]] so Damos could make the land flourish. | |||
| | |||
The Splash, [[Flame Plate|Flame]], and Earth Plates appeared in a flashback in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where [[Ghris]] was seen using their combined powers to create the [[Prison Bottle]]. | |||
| | |||
== | ====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''==== | ||
In ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', [[Team Galactic]] was revealed to have acquired a Flame Plate, which they used, along with the {{p|Heatran}} Saturn had {{pkmn2|caught}}, to power a device a that would bring back [[Cyrus]]. However, in ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]'', the machine overloaded and backfired, causing Heatran to go on a rampage and swallow the Flame Plate. The other Plates appeared in {{p|Arceus}}'s possession in ''[[JNS04|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4)]]'', with the Flame Plate also returning to it by the end of the episode. Arceus also used the powers of its Splash Plate to contain the rampaging Heatran in a giant dome of water. | |||

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}==== | |||
The Plates were initially being collected by [[Petrel]] 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 {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}}. When the [[Pokédex holder]]s used their Pokémon's ultimate attacks to stop the creation, all the Plates were absorbed by Arceus. | |||
The [[Pixie Plate]], [[Blank Plate]], and [[Legend Plate]] have not appeared in the Pokémon Adventures manga. | |||

Latest revision as of 20:08, 11 September 2024
- If you were looking for the items in Pokémon Duel, see Plate (Duel).
A Plate (Japanese: プレート Plate) is any of a certain group of items related to Arceus. The Plates were introduced in Generation IV.
In the core series games
There is one Plate for each type except Stellar (and ???, though a corresponding Arceus form exists as an error handler). They boost the power of the holder's moves of the corresponding type by 20%, and change Arceus and its signature move Judgment to that type.
There are 16 Plates in Generations IV and V, and 17 from Generation VI to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl with the introduction of the Fairy type and the corresponding Pixie Plate. Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduces the Blank Plate, which is a Plate for the Normal type, and the Legend Plate, which allows Arceus to change its type at will when using Judgment—bringing the number of known Plates to 19.
Name | Debut Gen. |
Corresponding move type | |
---|---|---|---|
Blank Plate | VIII | Normal | |
Fist Plate | IV | Fighting | |
Sky Plate | IV | Flying | |
Toxic Plate | IV | Poison | |
Earth Plate | IV | Ground | |
Stone Plate | IV | Rock | |
Insect Plate | IV | Bug | |
Spooky Plate | IV | Ghost | |
Iron Plate | IV | Steel | |
Flame Plate | IV | Fire | |
Splash Plate | IV | Water | |
Meadow Plate | IV | Grass | |
Zap Plate | IV | Electric | |
Mind Plate | IV | Psychic | |
Icicle Plate | IV | Ice | |
Draco Plate | IV | Dragon | |
Dread Plate | IV | Dark | |
Pixie Plate | VI | Fairy | |
Legend Plate | VIII | None |
Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the 16 Plates known at the time are spread far and wide across Sinnoh, and an additional copy of each Plate can also be dug up in the Underground.
Engravings
When each Plate is obtained in Generation IV, a different engraving appears on the back of the Plate which reveals part of the myth of the creation of the Pokémon universe. No engraving is tied to a specific Plate; they will appear each one at a time depending on how many Plates the player has found so far, with the ninth Plate found using the same engraving as the first. In Platinum, after talking to the Hiker on the second floor of the Canalave Library, a book on the second floor with the engravings written in it will be left by the Hiker the player met in Oreburgh Mine during the Arceus-triggered event.
- "When the universe was created, its shards became this Plate."
- "The power of defeated giants infuses this Plate."
- "Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One."
- "Three beings were born to bind time and space."
- "Two make matter and three make spirit, shaping the world."
- "The Original One breathed alone before the universe came."
- "The powers of Plates are shared among Pokémon."
- "The rightful bearer of a Plate draws from the Plate it holds."
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the captain of the S.S. Aqua will give one away in index number order during each voyage after the player has all 16 Badges, referring to them as rare treasures that he found in Sinnoh.
Pokémon Black and White
In Pokémon Black and White, two of the Plates are given to the player by a treasure hunter in a house in Route 13. The treasure hunter will mention that he found the Plates in the Abyssal Ruins, where the player can find the rest of the Plates.
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, these two same Plates can be found at Undella Bay, which is where the Abyssal Ruins and the remaining Plates also once again reside.
Pokémon X and Y
In Pokémon X and Y, one copy of each of the now 17 Plates, including the new Pixie Plate, is obtainable and they are scattered all across Kalos.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, most of the 17 Plates are found in various locations Underwater, with the exception of the Iron Plate, which is held by the special Beldum that Steven leaves for the player at his house in Mossdeep City after completing the Delta Episode.
Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon
In Pokémon Sun and Moon and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, many of the Plates are found at the Antique Shop in Hau'oli City after defeating Nanu, while others are hidden around Hau'oli City.
Pokémon Sword and Shield
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the Pixie Plate is the only obtainable plate in Galar. One copy of the Plate can be found on Route 8, while more copies can be obtained from the bargain seller at Stow-on-Side.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Plates are obtainable in the same locations as in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, with the Pixie Plate also now being available. Unlike in Generation IV, there is no limit to how many of each Plate can be dug up in the Grand Underground.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, held items do not exist: instead, the Plates appear as Key Items and must be selected to change Arceus into the Plate's corresponding type. The Plates are scattered across Hisui, and collecting them serves as part of the game's story, with most of them being received from notable Pokémon the player encounters.
Engravings
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, each Plate has a unique engraving, which can be read by selecting "Read text" on the Plate in the inventory.
- Blank Plate: "Three beings whose power can hold both time and space fixed."
- Fist Plate: "The rift is born of disorder on the other side of this world."
- Sky Plate: "The being poured the remains of its power into stone and buried it deep."
- Toxic Plate: "The rules of time and space change within the opposite world."
- Earth Plate: "When the universe was created, its shards became this Plate."
- Stone Plate: "It gathers power from the Plates, listening for the flute's song."
- Insect Plate: "Where all creation was born, that is the being's place of origin."
- Spooky Plate: "The other side of this world was given by the Original One to its raging third."
- Iron Plate: "That which fills the other side of the world can shape the rage and mold it."
- Flame Plate: "The power of defeated giants infuses this Plate."
- Splash Plate: "The rightful bearer of a Plate draws from the Plate it holds."
- Meadow Plate: "The powers of Plates are shared among Pokémon."
- Zap Plate: "The third being raged, raining down bolts of anger."
- Mind Plate: "The Original One breathed alone before the universe came."
- Icicle Plate: "Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One."
- Draco Plate: "Three beings were born to bind time and space."
- Dread Plate: "Two make matter, and three make spirit, shaping the world."
- Pixie Plate: "The Original One is in all things. The Original One is nowhere at all."
- Legend Plate: "From all creations, over all creations, does the Original One watch over all."
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the 17 regular Plates are purchasable from auctions in the Porto Marinada Market if the player has an Arceus in their possession. The Blank Plate and Legend Plate do not exist.
In the anime
Main series
Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl
Plates debuted in Journey to the Unown!, where Saturn and two Team Galactic Grunts placed three of them in a room located in the Solaceon Ruins, in order to obtain the Spear Key and awaken the Unown there. These Plates were specifically the Draco Plate, Iron Plate, and Splash Plate, which power up the three types of Palkia and Dialga (Dragon, Steel, and Water) combined.
Pokémon movies
All of the Plates present at the time reappeared in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, where they played a larger role. Referred to as Life Plates, these are a set of Plates that give life to Arceus, and also allow it to change its type. Arceus almost died when it lost all of the Plates after destroying 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. This heroic, selfless act earned its trust and prompted it to detach the Earth Plate, Splash Plate, Meadow Plate, Zap Plate, and Draco Plate, and merge them to form the Jewel of Life so Damos could make the land flourish.
The Splash, Flame, and Earth Plates appeared in a flashback in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, where Ghris was seen using their combined powers to create the Prison Bottle.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
In The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1), Team Galactic was revealed to have acquired a Flame Plate, which they used, along with the Heatran Saturn had caught, to power a device a that would bring back Cyrus. However, in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2), the machine overloaded and backfired, causing Heatran to go on a rampage and swallow the Flame Plate. The other Plates appeared in Arceus's possession in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4), with the Flame Plate also returning to it by the end of the episode. Arceus also used the powers of its Splash Plate to contain the rampaging Heatran in a giant dome of water.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
The Plates were initially being collected by Petrel for Team Rocket's plan. After 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 Weavile leaving messages for Sneasel and Weavile across Johto, Silver soon indeed gathered all 16 Plates for himself. At the Sinjoh Ruins, Gold surrendered the Plates to Archer, who used them to seemingly take control of Arceus, ordering it to recreate Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. When the Pokédex holders used their Pokémon's ultimate attacks to stop the creation, all the Plates were absorbed by Arceus.
The Pixie Plate, Blank Plate, and Legend Plate have not appeared in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Trivia
- Plates may have some relation to Shards, which are described as pieces of ancient tools. Their Underground sprites likewise imply that they are broken parts of Plates.
- Arceus has the same total Pokéathlon stats (but distributed differently) for all Plates, except the Draco Plate which has a total 1 higher than other Plates.
- Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are the only games where the player can obtain more than one of each plate in a single game.
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Flame Plate is the only Plate that cannot be obtained outside of the Underground before obtaining the National Pokédex.
- There is a sprite for ???-type Arceus in the game data of the Generation IV games, but there is no associated ???-type Plate.
- When Plates were first seen in the anime in Journey to the Unown!, they were depicted with the same kind of square shape that they have in the games. However, in their later anime appearances, the Plates are depicted with a different, six-angle shape.
