Trainer's Toolkit: Plates

• Plates (Japanese: プレート Plate) are held items that debuted in Generation IV.
• There are 16 different plates, one for each of the Types excluding Template:Type2, each of which enhances their respective type when held by a Pokémon.
• The plates have a special connection with the legendary Pokémon, Arceus as it changes forme when holding a Plate.
• In the anime, the Dragon, Steel, and Water Plates were used to obtain the Spear Key in Solaceon Ruins in the episode Journey to the Unown!. Plates also played a key role in Arceus and the Jewel of Life where Arceus used the Grass, Water, Ground, Electric, and Dragon plates to create the Jewel of Life.
• The Plates appeared in Pokémon Adventures when Team Rocket set forth to summon Arceus.
• Plates appear in the artwork for many of the Arceus cards in the Trading Card Game.
