== Judgment or Judgement? ==
 
According to my dictionary, the word is usually spelled "judgement" with an extra "e", but can also be spelled "judgment" when it is referring to something in law. Judging by this (sorry, I couldn't resist that joke!) then surely it would make more sense for Arceus's special move to be spelled "Judgement".  Is this Trivia worthy?  [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 22:54, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
:''Judgement'' is just another spelling variation of ''judgment'', meaning either is correct. I don't think it's too notable.

:: I always get screwed up in the spelling of the word, I always spell it Judgement, but I always get a red line under it meaning it's not spelled correctly, so I just take the "e" out and so it's rather annoying sometimes, as I'm confused as to the right spelling.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 01:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 
Well, since this is about the move, and in the game it is spelled without the extra e, it is offically Judgment, unless [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, SoulSilver]], or [[Future generations of Pokémon|any future game]] changes the spelling.

== "Most Powerful Move" ==
 
I have removed this line from the trivia in the article;
:" This means, providing Arceus is holding a plate, Judgement the most powerful move that is not detrimental to the user like {{m|Explosion}} and {{m|Selfdestruct}}."
This doesn't follow. The trivia states what with STAB and the plate bonus the base power rises to 180. That is a high base power, but moves like Hydro Pump can achieve 180 through STAB, or higher through the use of an item. Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Frenzy Planet, etc. can exceed 200 base power with STAB alone. It is misleading to claim that Judgement is 'the most powerful move'. It certainly is powerful, but is by not superlative. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 16:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Type of move

Is it dependant on a plate being held or the type of the user as it can be used by any Pokémon knowing metronome by chance. Gywall 09:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I've read a few sources referencing type, so I just want to be sure. Gywall 09:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

It is dependant on the Plate being held-And yes, it can be used through Metronome. Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links09:58 24 May 2008

On PBR, my Togepi pulled out Judgment via Metronome so it can be used like that. BlueJirachi 20:45, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

So then signature moves could apply to certain Pokemon other than the one intended.(if you understand)--Taviource 20:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Here's a question, then. What if Togepi was holding a plate? If Togepi was holding a Fist Plate, for example, and used Metronome, would the Judgment be fighting type? --Someone Else 13:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I ask that no one forget smeargle. Also, the type of smeargle's judgement would not go by plate, but rather by the type of judgement that was used on it. Lonestar_Phoenixxx 14:08, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

One has yet to do that... ht14 20:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Judgment’s type is its default when no plate is held: normal

Translation of 「さばきのつぶて」

In the main article, I noticed that the translation of the Japanese name for the move is "Judgment Throwing Stone". I believe this is incorrect.

The term 「さばきのつぶて」 literally translates to "Strike of Judgment" (hence rewording to "Judgment Strike" or similar). This directly implies that this move is an act of divine intervention (therefore translating simply into Judgment in the english releases; a fitting name for what appears to be a "God" Pokémon).

I have removed this line from the trivia in the article;

This doesn't follow. The trivia states what with STAB and the plate bonus the base power rises to 180. That is a high base power, but moves like Hydro Pump can achieve 180 through STAB, or higher through the use of an item. Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Frenzy Planet, etc. can exceed 200 base power with STAB alone. It is misleading to claim that Judgement is 'the most powerful move'.

Well if you look at Earthquake, it says "Earthquake has the highest fixed attack power of any move with 100% accuracy and no drawbacks (tied with Judgment)."
So, the trivia can stay if you add the 100% accuracy because moves like Hydro Pump don't have 100% accuracy, and Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, and variations have the drawback of recharge, don't they?--Si6x12 18:39, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Super Mystery Dungeon

Since this is the first "official" playable appearance of Arceus in the Mystery Dungeon series, how exactly does Judgment work in this particular game? Shiramu Kuromu (talk) 00:13, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Outdated trivia?

"Due to the types of both Arceus and Judgment being determined by the Plate held, Judgment always receives STAB when used by Arceus."

Now that Arceus's type also changes with Z-Crystals, is this true anymore? I don't know if Judgment is also affected by Z-Crystals. Pokemega32 (talk) 05:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

I have verified in-game that this is indeed no longer true. No matter which Z-Crystal Arceus is holding, Judgment remains a Normal-type move, and retains the type effectiveness of any other Normal-type move. Therefore, Judgment does not receive STAB if Arceus is holding any Z-Crystal other than Normalium Z.
Other notes:
  • Judgment appears as a Normal-type move, no matter what item Arceus is holding. However, if Arceus is holding a Plate, the correct type matchup effectiveness is displayed in the battle menu. (For example, Judgment is shown to be "super effective" if an Arceus holding a Splash Plate is battling a Charmander.)
  • The Memories that can change the type of Silvally and Multi-Attack have no effect on the type of Arceus or Judgment.
  • The only Z-Crystal that can upgrade Judgment is Normalium Z, which upgrades the move to the Z-Move Breakneck Blitz.
