A 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.
