A Plate (Japanese: プレート Plate) is a type of held item introduced in Generation IV, 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%. The Plates also change the type of Judgment, and due to this, Judgment will always have effectively 120 power unless the user is not holding a Plate. There is a Plate available for every elemental type except Normal, and while there exists a Template:Type2 Arceus, there is no associated ??? Plate, 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, Pearl, and Platinum, besides in the Underground.

Engravings
Each Plate has a different engraving 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 seventh Plate found using the same engraving as the first.
- "The Original One breathed alone before the universe came."
- "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 powers of Plates are shared among Pokémon."
- "The rightful bearer of a Plate draws from the Plate it holds."

In the anime
Plates first appeared in Journey to the Unown!, 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.
Trivia
- While the presence of hidden Plates can be determined with the Pokétch application Dowsing Machine, their exact location is difficult to ascertain. The Plate's exact location must be touched on the Dowsing Machine in order for it to be revealed.
