A '''plate''' (Japanese: '''プレート''' ''plate'') is a type of [[held item]] introduced in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], primarily for use in changing {{p|Arceus}}'s [[elemental type]] and form 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 Pokémon type except {{t|Normal}}, and while there exists a {{type2|???}} Arceus, there is no ??? plate to go with it, meaning there are 16 plates in total.

A plate (Japanese: プレート plate) is a type of held item introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, primarily for use in changing Arceus's elemental type and form to the corresponding type of plate. However, it will also increase the attack power of moves of the plate's type used by any Pokémon holding it by 20%. There is a plate available for every Pokémon type except Normal, and while there exists a Template:Type2 Arceus, there is no ??? plate to go with it, meaning there are 16 plates in total.

The 16 plates are spread far and wide across Sinnoh, and can also be dug up in the Underground. What follows is a list of what effect a plate has when held and where they can be found in Diamond and Pearl, besides in the Underground.

Engravings

Each plate has a different engraving which reveals part of the myth of the creation. There is no engraving tied to a particular Plate, they appear in the following order:

  • "When the universe was created, its shards became this Plate."
  • "The power of defeated giants infuses this Plate."
  • "Two beings of Template:P2 and Template:P2 set free from the Template:P2."
  • "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."

Appearance

In the anime

Three plates placed in the Solaceon Ruins.

Plates first appeared in Journey to the Unknown!, where Saturn and two Galactic Grunts placed them in a room of the Solaceon Ruins to 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.
