Judgment (Japanese: さばきのつぶて Judgment Strike) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation IV. It is the signature move of Arceus and, like Arceus, varies in type depending on the Plate held by the user.
Effect
Judgment inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. The type of Judgment depends on the type of Plate held by the user, being Normal-type if there is no held Plate.
Mystery Dungeon
While neither Arceus nor Judgment are legitimately obtainable prior to WiiWare games, the move Judgment still exists in Explorers of Sky data - it has no description and the name is $$$, however. It hits all enemies in room and since Plates don't exist, it instead uses the user's primary type. Oddly enough, the animation plays on the user of Judgment.

Pokémon Conquest
Judgment is the only move of Arceus. Because there are no plates in this game, Judgment always deals Normal-type damage, ignoring Ghost-type immunity.

The wheel on Arceus's body glows brightly, and an orange orb appears on top of Arceus's forehead. It then launches the orb into the sky, which leaves behind orange streaks as it fires. The orb then explodes in the air, releasing multiple pink meteors to come crashing down on the opponent. | |||

Trivia
- Due to the types of both Arceus and Judgment being determined by the Plate held, Judgment always receives STAB when used by Arceus.
- Furthermore, Judgment's power is always boosted by the Plate (except for Normal-type Judgment).
- In the English debut of the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Arceus consistently said the word "Justice" whenever using this move.
